Motto -

-due to rise of Goan Republic a lot of Goans fuck off to Mozambique and form their own prazos

-results in system expanding over the Zambesi river with Portuguese trying to keep ahold of it

-most of them go native too and intermarry with black Africans

-however, it's only after France's Wars > Franco-Portuguese War (1871-2) that there are solid attempts to impose control over this

-stuttering, also this causes prazeiros to migrate elsewhere with their armies

-nevertheless, it does succeed in this long-term

-also, helps create an assimilado class which merges with prazeiros

-gold rush in Mthwakazi in 1904 sees prazeiros with relatively modern militias storm in

-after securing a concession, they pry the state open with overwhelming force and conquer it

-with Spain's Wars > Spanish Revolution (1912-24) and invasion of Mexico this refuses to sign on

-instead a prazeiro Cortes declares loyalty to the king in exile

-then Heads of Zanzibar > 1891-1923 Ali bin Majid invades Mozambique, successfully conquers island and coast up to Angoche

-but the new state defeats it

-then in the resulting exuberance a kingdom is declared, with a local aristocrat a new king

-new Kingdom is nominally a constitutional state

-but in practice aristocratic elites who have semi-gone native rule as oligarchy

-also Republic of Mthwakazi successfully declares independence in this era

-the new Kingdom successfully gets a great-power patron in the form of Empire of the German Nation
