Colonies

[constantinople]

This is the thread for my mod colonies. It is just a map of colonial empires at their greatest extent. There is no USA, South Africa or India, they all are still controlled by the British.
This map is NOT meant to be historical.

Civilizations:

Austro-Hungary - Franz Joseph I
Belgium - Leopold II, Rogier
Courland - Jacob von Kettler
Denmark - Canute the Great, Margrete I, Christian IV
Poland - Sobeiski
Sweden - Charles XII

Changes:

Rome is now Italy, adds Cavour as leader, changes flag

The only thing I will update is the text and map.

I hope you know that Austro-Hungary, Courland and Poland didn't have any colony.
According to your scenario, the colonial nations were:
Britain
France
Netherlands
Russia
Spain
Portugal
the Ottomans controlled a very significant territory too, but i don't consider that their empire was a colonial empire.

Also, some historical inaccuracies:
1. The United States declared its independency in 1776.
2. Poland were controlled by Prussia.
3. Austria-Hungary was formed in 1867 by signing "the Compromise" between the rebellious Hungary and monstrous Habsburgs. The weak and powerless "alliance" was destroyed after WWI as Austria-Hungary lost the war.

BUT, you said it is fictional, so then, everything is okay.

Well, they ATTEMPTED to have colonies. This is showing what would have happened if they succeeded. Courland is Poland's vassal.

And the goal of the scenario is to show colonial empires with all of their colonies.

Well, no. The Habsburgs had so much troubles with Hungary, they didn't have time to colonize. Poland were occupied (just as we Hungarians were) so they couldn't attempt that too. Belgium wanted to, but hey, Kongo was Belgian colony until it was declared its independence.

And forgot to mention, that Italy formed in 1861, and only started to colonize after fully united (in 1870) but again, this mod is great, if you're suppose to be fictive.

2. Poland were controlled by Prussia. (...) Poland were occupied.

By Prussia, Austria and Russia - but that was only after 1795. I guess he meant times before that.

Also in 1795 Courland was annexed by Russia. Before that it was Poland's vassal.

Courland and Poland didn't have any colony.

Courland is Poland's vassal.

Courland had colonies - for example in Tobago island (but not only - also for example in Gambia, West Africa):

Spoiler :

Fort Casimir was named after Polish king John II Casimir (reign 1648 - 1668), I suppose.

Or after some other Pole (Casimir is a Polish name, anyway).

Great Courland Bay near Tobago:
