The Four Exploradores of 1741
In the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty One,
four Seperate Expeditions Lead by four Honourable Individuals,
Left their Respective Home Ports,
Commissioned and Blessed by King Jose V of Portugal,
to Explore the Ocean Sea,
to Find Unchartered Lands,
and to Claim these Lands for the Crown.
Their Names will Forever be Reminded in Portugal,
and their Deeds will now Be Written Down,
so that they will never be forgotten.
---------
Rodrigo da Costa
the Ambassador
A cavalheiro of greastest intellect, Rodrigo da Costa set sail to claim the Gulf of Guinea for King Jose. If it wasn't for his efforts, two European nations might have filled the grande Niger river with their red blood. Soon upon his arrival da Costa built a large fort at the Eastern bank of the Niger to act as base of operations for his expeditions.
Meanwhile his forces explored large parts of the coastline. However after two months an espanhol force arrived at the western bank of the Niger River. Their intentions were unknown and many people feared that a war would distrubt the growth of the Portugese colonies. At once the great Rodrigo da Costa arranged a meeting with the espanhol leader.
After long and hard negotiations they came to an agreement. All lands west of the Niger river would be given to Spain and all lands east of the river would be Portugese. Now da Costa was free to march to coastline southwards, claiming much valuable land for the crown.

Lourenço de Almeida
the Merchant
In the far south another grande cavalheiro had been issued by King Jose V to lead an expedition into the unexplored lands of Namibia. Lourenço de Almeida, an famous and successfull empreendedor, imediatamente assembled an expedition of adventurers to change the bushland into a profitable colony of the crown. He had ambitious plans and being a courageous man he even risked to invest his very own wealth into this expedition.
On his journey through the wild lands of Namibia he met many dangers, but even though he was able to build not less then three forts to protect the newly acquired lands from the dangers of Africa.
Lourenço de Almeida was a fierce believer in a principle invented together with his friend Diogo Botelho. The ultimate goal to bring prosperty to the black continent would be achieved with the three C's: Commerce, followed by Christianity leads to Civilization. Therefore de Almeida tried at every opportunity to etablish friendly relations with the savage barbarians which populate the Namibian lands.
-------------
Diogo Botelho
the Christian
A man of grande belief was Diogo Botelho. He had allready been spreading the word of Jesus all throughout the Black Continent for years, when the King assinged him in his wisdom to spread Christianity in lands were the people still prayed to idols and sacrified their children! Botelho was more then happy to leave Arabia, where the muslims had given him a hard time. Faster then anybody else he assembled a large force, including at least one dozen missionaries. His designation was the Horn of Africa. Maybe one of the most backward places on the entire continent. With the cross in his right hand and the sword in the left hand he was able to convert large parts of the area to Portugal.
Unlike his mercantile friend Lourenço de Almeida, Diogo believed in a different assingment of the three C's, Firstly Christianity, then Commerce and Civilisation. Diogo disliked the idea of Portugese traders comming into contact with savage idol-whorshippers.
On his route along the Horn, Diogo built a large number of monastaries and supplied the Holy Book to many infidel tribes. Most importantly were the four fortified monastries, which would also act as a bases of operations for later expeditions
--------------
Francisco de Sousa
the Conquerer
The fourth of the cavalheiros of 1741 was Francisco de Sousa. Surely a person of grande courage and força de Sousa also had a certain adventurous trait of character.
Nevertheless he conquered large parts of the Windward Coast for the crown. His expedition was the only one to start from Lisbon. Upon reaching his designation de Sousa built several forts. After months of living together with his companheiros he had developed a special relationsship for them. This might explain the unfortunate course that his expedition took.

How would you feel about a free-trade agreement between our countries, and the opening of a trade line directly from Abyssinia to the Portuguese holdings in Africa? We feel this would allow for a quicker exchange of commodities, not to mention a boost in economic productivity on both sides.

As you are aware our nations were once allies in struggle and though tensions have been rising in the last years we have not forgotten this. We suggest a treaty valid for 10 years during which we do not attack each other no matter what else might happen in the world.
Will you sign a NAP with us and help preserve stability in our corner of the world? We might even be open to an alliance though we will need to discuss it further.

We agree completely. A 10-year NAP to preserve stability in our little corner of Europe is fine with us. We are also keeping the possibility of an alliance open, but we will need some more time to consider.

If they weren't on my side before, they will be now.
Athens was once the jewel of Hellas, capital of an empire that spanned the Aegean and rivaled the alliance of Sparta and Thebes. Even during the Roman and Byzantine times, Athens was a great city. In the Ottoman era, it has been somewhat passed over. The Piraeus lies devoid of shipping, the Acropolis is garrisoned with more Ottoman troops in light of the janissary revolt. Greeks and Turks walk about the city in a slightly oppressed mood.
The demonstration was scheduled to be held on the second of January, 1742. This would be the fifth in two months in the largest city in Hellas. The Turks were getting uneasy. In the past month, the Ottoman governor had cracked down more on the Greeks. Illegal alcohol (this is a Muslim country, after all) was confiscated in more raids. Conspiracy theories flew around the offices of the local constabulary. The rebellious sentiments of the people are being fomented by the pope! This is part of a secret Christian plot to destroy the servants of Mohammed!
When the march started, the governor was alarmed. Sixty thousand Greeks were assembling in the Piraeus and marching toward the governor's lodgings on the Acropolis. Apparently they had some sort of petition, asking for his support in allowing the Greeks their own nation. And his police were all at prayer at the mosque on the other side of the city! Allah will understand. Better that I help save His servants and have some good Muslims miss the morning prayers, than the nation that He smile upon be overcome by Satan's followers. ahl al-Kitab or not, they threaten to destroy us!
The chief of police was promptly kicked in the rump while on his knees toward Mecca by the governor's aide-de-camp, and they went about rousing the constabulary to stop the marchers, who were already at Omona Square. Police came boiling out of the alleys and side streets, blocking off the Greek marchers. One young Greek tried to push past a Turkish constabularian. The Turk beat him with his nightstick (OOC: Find a better word, guys?) and the teenager dropped like a stone.
The rest of the marchers near him quieted and stared at the policeman. In ten minutes, the entire city center went to hell.
By the end of the day, Athens burned.

You have six months to withdraw all troops from Greece and recognize the independance of the Orthodox Greece. Failure to do so will lead to very serious consequences for your country.
