1531 - 1539 : refoundation
I) European policies
1) Edward VII Lancaster
In December 1532, the Regency ended when the young Edward VII Lancaster rose to the throne. The link between the Kingdoms was then recreated ! At last hope was back to keep the Union together.

2) The conquest of Nevers
The first decision made by Edward was to give a common goal to all the Kingdoms, and also give a feeling of friendship that the citizens of the Kingdoms did not had for a long time.
He brought together an army constituted of troops from Scotland, Ireland, England and France to conquer the long time claimed but never taken independant province of Nevers.
The war ended in October 1533.
France has never been more unified
3) The first attempt to create a Bill of rights
Even with the war on Nevers going on, Edward knew he had to do a lot more to assure peace inside the Kingdoms.
During the first six months of his reign, he spent lot of time in the four parliaments, and also with religious leaders from the three sides. He knew he could not impose a choice of religion as the parliaments were split two versus two.
In May 1533, he began to propose the idea of a "Bill of rights" that would assure religious freedom to every Christian in the Kingdoms. However he did not had the power to make it pass. That was the parliaments' job.
After weeks of work, the first Parliament to adopt its "Bill of rights" for his Kingdom was Scotland. In December, the four Kingdoms had their versions of their "Bill of rights" (which only assured a partial religious Freedom. However this was still revolutionary by this time !)
The Bill of Rights are accepted in 1533
II) Colonial policies
1) Foundation of the colonies of Virginia, North and South Carolina
In 1531, the UKs were strongly enough implanted in North America. It was now possible for them to begin to create brand new settlements.
The general put in charge of the Colonies of North America by the Congress (Geoffrey Clinton) considered that the first priority was open open more largely North America to Europe. With two ports, the UKs colonies there were only territories hold without real connextions with Europe. Trade was to be developped if settlers wanted to begin to live better and have stronger ties to civilized places.
That is why he decided to open the creation of three settlements in what are today Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
2) Foundation of the colony of South Africa
In 1532, the road was open to allow settlers to go in Africa.
As the Edward was about to take the power, he was begining to give early orders. It was on his order that three waves of settlers left the UKs to found the colony of South Africa.
3) The war against the Huron tribes
In October 1536, when the French Conquistador Robert Dampied discovered the Huron territories North of the Great Lakes, Edward immediatly sent the word : this was a perfect opportunity to extend quickly the UKs territories in America, which was very important since Castille had just conquered Central America three years ago.
In June 1537, the chief of the Huron tribes surrendered and accepted to obey to the UKs.

The UKs grow. Are you going to get into any colonial war? Looks like Castille planted a colony in Manhattan.
[Yes I'm back after a few days doing, well, mostly all the things you do at the start of a summer break, and, well, always excessively, hem, here we go for a new update ]
Welcome back students,
Today, we will focus entirely on colonial policies.
Colonial policies
1) Economical developpement
Those years were really good for UKs colonies by that time. Almost no wars, economical imputs from Europe, the developpment of the colonies during those years has been very impressive.
In 1547, almost ever province in North America had a church, a provincial court, a workshop and a fort !
2) The war with Aceh
In the 1540's, tensions were rising in the Malaysian peninsula. Five countries (the UKs, Aceh, Daï Viet, Majapahit and Brunei) were claiming the region, and especially the port of Malacca.
In January 1545, tensions were too high and a new war started between Aceh and the UKs.
The war started in April 1545
In August 1545, the war was over
3) The founding of Mississippi and Louisiana
In the 1540's, more and more people began to understand there were new, free lands to take in Northern America. Here was a strange but still clear division that happened in a particular area.
In 1546, two places that would become colonial states have been founded : Mississippi and Louisinia. Those two very close territories recieved entirely deifferent populations.
Mississippi reiceved English Protestants settlers, while Louisina recieved mostly French protestant settlers.
You can still se the difference today, as the cultures are quite close but stile they don't speak the same language and have clear differences.
Conclusion :
Colonial powers in 1547

Now you won't have any updates for some times : I'm moving out in a new house (which means in France two weeks to have a new internet connection created by the monopolistic partially public system we have).
So you soon guys
So you soon guys
Yes I'm back guys It was a real fight to have once again internet, as realy, definitely, to have a good "public service" in any country is just a stupid dream. Permit me to be a little political hear. You think you like socialism ? Please come to live in France for 2 or 3 years ... You will QUICKLY change your mind...
Hem sorry for that... it's time for AT LAST (thank you France Telecom for needing 3 weeks to change an internet contract) a new update about the great United Kingdoms
Colonial policies
1) The second war on Maduraï
In August 1547, the Two Kingdoms declared once again war on Maduraï. This Indian state was considered as overly pretentious. And this move came with the idea that if the UKs wanted to have a freedom of trade in India, they had to help the Indian major power in their war : Deccan.
As we already know, this idea totally changed when the UKs' leaders understood the complex policies in India. But this idea drove this aggressive move against the State of Maduraï
The second war against Madurai
In March 1548, Madurai was annexed
2) Taiwan
In January 1549, a real historical accomplishment arrived when the UKs successfully created a new colony on the island of Taiwan. As History stuends, you know how important this little success became for future history
Taiwan became a UKs colony in 1549
3) Indonesian war
In the late 1540's, tensions were rising around Malacca. This new UKs' conquest was badly seen by countries around. In particular, the powerfull country of Majapahit was seeing the presence of a country coming from so far away as a threat to their newly obtained power in this region.
In december 1550, a terrible event happened when a French ship was about to leave the port of Siak. Today, we still don't know what happened there, but the shipo had to flee while fighting the locals. Even if we don't know what happened there, it is common to consider the loser's side on this war. This is probably because the local general Guy Frobichet, considered that the captain of the ship, even if he was fench like the general, was responsible for the attack.
The fact is that on december the 8th 1550, this French ship La belle poule had to fire on the local port and local ships to be able to leave safely the port of Siak. Then happened the war.
The diplomatic situation at the start of the war
The war ended in august 1551, with a large victory for the UKs
Conclusion :
Colonial powers in december 1551

As long as it still is a good read
Well actually my short term plans of invasions were turned toward India. However there the situation is this one :
And this exact situation stays like that since at least 1525 IIRC !
So I will invade but I can't attack Deccan because they are controlled by others. But the invaders are not allied and each has too little of Deccan's territories so they can't negociate to get territories.
So I will have to invade some of those little states and fight them in deccan territories to only get a few provinces totally dispersed all across India's coasts. that's really not ideal but I don't have the choice now as I don't see this situation changing in the coming years.
