Talk:Wilt of the Carnation

Adoption
Greetings. I have messaged Lahbas a few months ago and have yet to hear a reply. Seeing as this timeline has been inactive since 2009, and going though the proper channels, I have decided to adopt this timeline. I have no intention of doing any alterations as of right now to allow any opposition to this to come up.

I've been a big fan of this timeline's concept since I first came across it a year ago, and I feel I can expand upon this timeline and make it great. As I mentioned before, I have no intention of expanding upon this timeline right away. When I get around this it I will write out in detail my ideas. But from the looks of it, this timeline's POD is that the in Portugal fails. The remains in power and the  continue. Because of which, Portugal's colonies remain under Portuguese domination. When a democratic revolution finally happens, the colonial wars have died down and a compromise is made. A new federation between Portugal and its colonies takes place, in which all members are equal.

That's about it so far. The only additional changes I see have been canonized is that remains a nation and  either annexes or continues to hold domination over. At least from what I've read up on these, Portugal was a major supporter of Rhodesia's white government and Mozambique acted as the nation's primary access to the sea. Though once Portugal goes democratic, Rhodesia may still have to change (though anything's better than OTL). Similarly, the Apartheid government of South Africa was really supportive of Portugal and Namibia was in many ways considered South Africa's fifth province. Given that Namibia didn't achieve independence until the 1990s, I can possibly see South Africa pushing to officially annex the region. Possibly using it in connection with Portuguese Angola (since South Africans would likely support Portugal's continued wars post-POD). While Brazil is the only other nation mentioned, I doubt it would go through any major changes.

That's all I have at the moment. I look forward to getting started on this timeline. I'm open to any suggestions and criticisms. -- 03:16, April 11, 2014 (UTC)
