Springtime of Empires - 1600

 

1632

North America

The Spanish re-capture more Dano-Norwegian settlements. They also counter attack against the French.

 

More settlers arrive in New Spain. It is hoped that the greater presence would allow them to resist any attempt at capture by their enemies.

 

The same occurs in New France. (Thousands more arrive.)

 

The Spanish push back against the French advance from New Orleans.

 

 

Caribbean

The Spanish fully recapture the Dominican Colony. Their forces continue into Haiti…

 

 

South America

The French expand their control of the northern areas of Brazil, despite attempts by the Iberians to resist.

 

Elsewhere in the Spanish ruled areas, there is discontent.

 

The Dano-Norwegian beachhead at Cumana remains stalemated.

 

But that is not so in La Platta.

 

 

Europe

United Republics of Albion officially established.

The Parliamentarians have the remaining Royalist forces on the ropes. But the same is not true of the various rebels in the Highlands, Western Wales and Cornwall. There are many redoubts in those regions (especially the many castles in Western Wales).

 

The French recapture some of the land captured by the Spanish the previous year.

 

The Triple Commonwealth begins covertly assisting the Cossacks…

 

 

Africa

The Spanish and Ottomans take advantage of the continued Moroccan collapse, signing another treaty to divide the region between them.

 

 

Asia

Incidents of unrest in Azeri lands increase.

 

The Persians push into Ottoman held lands. (Given the distractions in eastern Europe and near the Gibraltar Straight.)

 

Central Asian conflicts are stalemated.

 

As are the Chinese ones.

 

 

Oceania

A Dano-Norwegian fleet manages to land a force at a Spanish settlement in south-eastern Australia. The element of surprise allows them to seize the settlement and allow them to use it as a beachhead. Some Aboriginal tribes nearby hear of the incursion and use the distraction as a chance to rebel against the occupiers.

 

Dano-Norwegians establish a small settlement in southern Tasmania.

 

Their settlement on the South Island also expands.
