 The British had influence, but I think it was under Portuguese rule. 🤔 I believe this map isn't very accurate, but it's pretty close. 😂 
 Yep it was Portuguese rule indeed.


DIRECT RULE FROM LISBON 😉 
 There is something very fascinating about a small group of people conquering the entire world. 
 It was called "The Divide And Rule policy". 
 Conquered by merchants and financiers. Brits were just the mercenaries for hire. 
 .Every place the British had influence" is a low bar for most nations 😂
