EVENTNAME285180;Jesuits in Paraguay;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285180;In 1608, by royal charter, the Jesuits were asked to take the task of colonizing and converting the Guarani and Guaycuru Indians in a huge area including Paraguay, Uruguay, North of Argentina and South of Brazil. The Jesuits created a system of missions, called Reductions, because they reduced the dispersion of the natives. About half of the natives joined the Jesuit system. The Jesuits allowed the natives to maintain their culture and language, posession of the land and self-government, in exchange for abandoning polygamy and embracing Christianity and organized work. The system was very successful, and the 60 missions established greatly increased the wealth of the area. However the jesuit system also had enemies in the Indians that rejected any pact with the white men, the hacienda owners with whom the system competed, and the Portuguese slave traders. 23 Jesuits paid with their lives their missionary work, but not one of them was killed by the indians that voluntarily entered the Reductions system.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285180A;Send the soldiers of Christ;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285180B;They will bring trouble;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTNAME285181;Bandeirantes;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285181;The Bandeiras were armed expeditions privately funded by the Portuguese of Brazil to make incursions beyond the Treaty of Tordesillas line. Usually they went into the jungle and enslaved any Indian they could capture. With the union of the crowns of Spain and Portugal, the Bandeirantes started to attack also the Spanish possessions north of the Rio de la Plata, knowing that as an internal problem, the King would be more lenient. When the Dutch disrupted navigation in the coasts of Brazil during and after the 20 years truce with Spain, the slave traffic from Africa to the Brazilian plantations stopped. Suddenly the Bandeiras became much more profitable. The missions that the Jesuits had established in Paraguay had attracted tens of thousands of indians and owned hundreds of thousands of cattle and were an easy target. Between 1628 and 1638 the Bandeirantes destroyed ten missions, killing thousands of indians and taking over 25,000 captives of which only one quarter would reach Sao Paulo alive. The entire region of Guayrá was desolated. In 1638 the Superior of the Jesuits, Father Ruiz Montoya, travelled to Spain and submitted 12 petitions to Felipe IV to allow the Indians to be armed with firearms for their defense. Concerns about the safety of Rio de la Plata and Peru if Paraguay fell to the Portuguese, finally moved Felipe to agree. The military instruction of the Indians under three Jesuit ex-soldiers, and 11 Spaniards from Buenos Aires started that same year, and a Bandeirada was defeated at Caazapaguazú, but upon their surrender the Bandeirantes were allowed to retire. Their return to Sao Paulo coincided with the arrival of envoys with royal charters and Papal Bulls against the enslaving of Indians and caused much indignation. The municipal chamber (city council) expelled the Jesuits of Sao Paulo and organized an expedition of 450 Bandeirantes and 2700 Indians under command of Manuel Pires. Father Pedro Romero, the Jesuit commander, had 4200 Guaranies and 300 arquebuses. The Bandeirantes were coming down the River Uruguay and were surprised at the river bend at Mbororé on March 11, 1641. The fight was favorable to the Indians, who had also fortified both shores. The Bandeirantes retreated and dug in, and tried to surrender, but the Indians had had enough, and for days they pursued the fleeing Bandeirantes through the jungle. Few made it back to Sao Paulo. Slowly, the destroyed missions were rebuilt.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285181A;Give permission to arm the Indians;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285181B;No Indians with guns;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTNAME285182;The colony of Sacramento;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285182;The Portuguese had little respect for the Treaty of Tordesillas, and in 1680 the Governor of Rio, Manuel Lobo established the Nova Colônia del Santíssimo Sacramento just in front of Buenos Aires at the Northern shore of the Rio de la Plata in what is today Uruguay. This fragrant intrusion in the Spanish area was not kindly taken, specially since Sacramento engaged in a most damaging contraband against the Spanish monopoly through Lima. The Governor of Buenos Aires, José de Garro quickly seized the colony with the help of Guarani Indians and captured Lobo, but the colony was returned the next year by the Provisional Treaty of Lisbon of 1681. When Portugal entered the War of Spanish Succesion in 1705, the Governor of Buenos Aires, Valdez de Inclán, captured again Sacramento with Guarani soldiers, but it had to be returned to Portugal once more under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1715. In 1724 the Portuguese started to expand in the area, leading the Governor of Buenos Aires, Mauricio de Zabala, to found San Felipe y Santiago de Montevideo in 1726, strongly increasing Spanish control over the Banda Oriental region, or eastern shore of the Rio de la Plata.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285182A;Found Montevideo;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTNAME285183;Treaty of Madrid;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285183;After the Anglo-Spanish war of 1739-1748, known in England as War of Jenkin's ear, and in Spain as Guerra del Asiento, the Spanish King feared an English attack in the Rio de la Plata possessions. With a desire to solve the confrontation with Portugal over Sacramento, and on the advice of his Portuguese wife, Barbara de Braganza, he signed in 1750 an agreement to hand over all the lands East of the river Uruguay and North of the river Negro to Portugal in exchange for the colony of Sacramento. The vast region that was to become Portuguese was known as Seven Villages, for the seven Jesuit Reductions that exploited the area. The Jesuit Order obeyed, and the Indians were told to abandon their lands or become slaves to the Portuguese.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285183A;Sign the agreement;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285183B;It is a foolish pact;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTNAME285184;The Jesuit Republic;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285184;When by the Treaty of Madrid, the Guarani Indians were told by their Jesuit fathers to evacuate their lands or become Portuguese slaves, they refused and took the arms to resist. They were leaded by José Sepé Tiarayú. Against them a Spanish army under Gaspar de Monive, Marquis of Valdelirios, and a Portuguese army under Gomes Freire de Andrade. For two years both armies conducted an inefectual war against the guerrilla tactics of the Indians. Finally in 1756, both armies joined forces, and after the killing of José Sepé, they slaughtered 1300 Indians at Caibaté, suffering four casualties. Soon they took control of the region with a final death toll of about 6000 Indians. These events are narrated in the movie ''The Mission.'' After the campaign, Freire and Valdelirios, wrote letters blaming the Jesuit order for instigating the Indians, and arrested 11 fathers. The matters were investigated by the new Governor of Buenos Aires, Pedro de Ceballos, and by the Jesuit order, whose General Ignazio Visconti had given orders, under penalty of mortal sin, expulsion, and excommunication, of colaborating with the authorities. The investigations did not find any evidence to substantiate the accusations, and the case was superseded to the indignation of Freire and the Marquis of Pombal, Masons and enemies of the order. The Marquis of Pombal took matters into his own hands and wrote a pamphlet entitled ''Brief account of the Jesuit Republic and its war against Spain and Portugal.'' These events undermined the reputation of the Jesuits in Europe, laying the ground for their expulsion.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285184A;The Indians refuse to abandon their lands;;;;;;;;;;
Add to option B of SPA event 285073
EVENTNAME285185;The ruin of the Reductions of Paraguay;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285185;After the violent expulsion of the Guarani, in 1756, the Portuguese started occupaying the area awarded to them by the Treaty of Madrid, but they never surrendered Colonia de Sacramento to the Spaniards. When Fernando VI died in 1759, the new King, Carlos III, immediately rejected the Treaty as very detrimental for Spanish interests, as Spain had surrendered a big territory for a small settlement that was never paid. In 1761, he obtained from Portugal the annulment of the Treaty. But the next year Spain was forced to enter the Seven Years War in support of France against England. Since Portugal was allied to England, Pedro Ceballos once more conquered Colonia de Sacramento. However since France and Spain lost the war, at the Treaty of Paris in 1763, for the third time Sacramento had to be returned to Portugal, although the area of Seven Villages was recovered. The Indians once more started to return to their lands, but the prosperity of the region had been greatly affected. The final straw was the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. Although an attempt was made to preserve their system, the Crown administrators proved less capable and more corrupt than the Jesuits, and had troubles with the Indians, leading to the ruin of the former Jesuit Reductions system in Paraguay.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285185A;A pity;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTNAME260169;An exchange between two continents;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST260169;After a century of contention over the limits between Brazil and Rio de La Plata exacerbated by the Colônia del Sacramento that was conquered and returned three times by Spain, and in the midst of a Spanish offensive that constituted a serious menace over the recently settled San Pedro do Sul area, the removal of the Marquis of Pombal by Queen María allowed a peaceful settlement over the disputed borders with her uncle Carlos III of Spain. At the Treaty of San Ildefonso on October 1, 1777, confirmed in the Treaty of El Pardo in 1778, Portugal ceded Colônia del Sacramento to Spain, but retained Santa Catalina and San Pedro, adquiring rights beyond Tordesillas limits in exchange for the African island of Fernando Poo (now Bioko) and full commercial rights in the African coast between the Niger and the Ogoue rivers. Furthermore, for the first time since the independence of Portugal, relations between the Iberians became excellent until Napoleon interfered.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME260169A;Sign the agreement;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME260169B;Reject the agreement;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTNAME285186;An exchange between two continents;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285186;The return to the Status Quo Ante situation in the region between Rio de la Plata and Brazil imposed by the Treaty of Paris of 1763 was unsatisfactory to both parts. Colonia de Sacramento continuous contraband was a thorn in Spanish colonial monopoly, and Portugal ambitioned the San Pedro region, not recognizing the Spanish right to it. Spain blockaded Sacramento to reduce contraband, further infuriating the Luso-Brazilians. In 1767 they attacked Rio Grande de San Pedro, expelling the Spaniards from the area. Tensions mounted for several years as the Portuguese established numerous ranches in the seized area with stock stolen from the mission estancias. This lead to military build up in the region. But while Spain was trying to reach a diplomatic agreement, the Marquis of Pombal was betting on a military victory. While negotiations were being conducted in 1776, the Portuguese attacked and further pushed the Spaniards South at the disputed border. This deception was the last straw for Spain. A great fleet was assambled, formed by 116 ships and 19,000 men, under command of Pedro Ceballos. To better cope with Portuguese ambitions, the Viceroyalty of La Plata was created, and Pedro Ceballos named first Viceroy. The Ceballos campaign of 1777 was a complete success. He soon conquered the island of Santa Catalina and Colonia de Sacramento, where the Portuguese bastion was leveled. He was going to continue with the conquest of San Pedro when orders arrived from Madrid to stop the offensive. With the death of José I of Portugal, his daughter María had fired the Marquis of Pombal, and desired peace with her uncle, King Carlos III of Spain. The Spanish prime minister, Floridablanca, also wanted a free hand to take advantage of the American Revolution, so a peace treaty was signed at San Ildefonso on October 1, 1777, and confirmed in the Treaty of El Pardo in 1778. Portugal ceded Colonia del Sacramento to Spain, but retained Santa Catalina and San Pedro in exchange for the African island of Fernando Poo (now Bioko) and full commercial rights in the African coast between the Niger and Ogoue rivers. Furthermore, for the first time since the separation of Portugal, relations between the Iberians became excellent until Napoleon interfered.;;;;;;;;;;

#-#After the Esquilache riots, a comission was formed to investigate their instigators. It was considered that the populace could not produce the ellaborate pamphlets that had inflamated the masses. Probably the nobility was behind them, since they hated Esquilache for his fiscal policies of taxing the rich. However the comission found a more convenient scapegoat, the Society of Jesus. Already at a low point after their expulsion from Portugal in 1758, and France in 1764, the Jesuits were seeing as being more affect to the Pope than to the king, and had a fame of regicides after the assesination attempt at Jose I of Portugal of which they were accused of having prior knowledge. Secret orders were distributed to be opened at midnight on the first of April, and in the next morning, 6000 Jesuits were marched like convicts to the coast and embarked towards Papal States. The Spanish and Italian Bourbons, then used all their influence to have the order suppressed by the next Pope in 1673. The properties of the Jesuits in Spain and all her territories were seized, and the important void that the Jesuits left in higher education was used to reform it.

}EVENTHIST285185;After the violent expulsion of the Guarani, in 1756, the Portuguese started occupaying the area awarded to them by the Treaty of Madrid, but they never surrendered Colonia de Sacramento to the Spaniards. When Fernando VI died in 1759, the new King, Carlos III, immediately rejected the Treaty as very detrimental for Spanish interests, as Spain had surrendered a big territory for a small settlement that was never paid. In 1761, he obtained from Portugal the annulment of the Treaty. But the next year Spain was forced to enter the Seven Years War in support of France against England. Since Portugal was allied to England, Pedro Ceballos once more conquered Colonia de Sacramento. However since France and Spain lost the war, at the Treaty of Paris in 1763, for the third time Sacramento had to be returned to Portugal, although the area of Seven Villages was recovered. The Indians once more started to return to their lands, but the prosperity of the region had been greatly affected. The final straw was the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. Although an attempt was made to preserve their system, the Crown administrators proved less capable and more corrupt than the Jesuits, and had troubles with the Indians, leading to the ruin of the former Jesuit Reductions system in Paraguay.;;;;;;;;;;

EVENTNAME285180;Jesuits in Paraguay;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285180;In 1608, by royal charter, the Jesuits were asked to take the task of colonizing and converting the Guarani and Guaycuru Indians in a huge area including Paraguay, Uruguay, North of Argentina and South of Brazil. The Jesuits created a system of missions, called Reductions, because they reduced the dispersion of the natives. About half of the natives joined the Jesuit system. The Jesuits allowed the natives to maintain their culture and language, posession of the land and self-government, in exchange for abandoning polygamy and embracing Christianity and organized work. The system was very successful, and the 60 missions established greatly increased the wealth of the area. However the Jesuit system also had enemies in the Indians that rejected any pact with the white men, the hacienda owners with whom the system competed unfairly, and the Portuguese slave traders. 23 Jesuits paid with their lives their missionary work, but not one of them was killed by the indians that voluntarily entered the Reductions system.;;;;;;;;;;

EVENTNAME285181;Bandeirantes;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285181;The Bandeiras were armed expeditions privately funded by the Portuguese of Brazil to make incursions beyond the Treaty of Tordesillas line. Usually they went into the jungle and enslaved any Indian they could capture. With the union of the crowns of Spain and Portugal, the Bandeirantes started to attack also the Spanish possessions north of the Rio de la Plata, knowing that as an internal problem, the King would be more lenient. When the Dutch disrupted navigation in the coasts of Brazil during and after the 20 years truce with Spain, the slave traffic from Africa to the Brazilian plantations stopped. Suddenly the Bandeiras became much more profitable. The missions that the Jesuits had established in Paraguay had attracted tens of thousands of Indians and owned hundreds of thousands of cattle and were an easy target. Between 1628 and 1638 the Bandeirantes destroyed ten missions, killing thousands of indians and taking over 25,000 captives of which only one quarter would reach Sao Paulo alive. The entire region of Guayrá was devastated. In 1638 the Superior of the Jesuits, Father Ruiz Montoya, travelled to Spain and submitted 12 petitions to Felipe IV to allow the indians to be armed with firearms for their defense. Concerns about the safety of Rio de la Plata and Peru if Paraguay fell to the Portuguese, finally moved Felipe to agree. The military instruction of the Indians under three Jesuit ex-soldiers, and 11 Spaniards from Buenos Aires started that same year, and a Bandeirada was defeated at Caazapaguazú, but upon their surrender the Bandeirantes were allowed to retire. Their return to Sao Paulo coincided with the arrival of envoys with royal charters and Papal Bulls against the enslaving of Indians and caused much indignation. The municipal chamber (city council) expelled the Jesuits of Sao Paulo and organized an expedition of 450 Bandeirantes and 2700 Indians under command of Manuel Pires. Father Pedro Romero, the Jesuit commander, had 4200 Guaranies and 300 arquebuses. The Bandeirantes were coming down the River Uruguay and were surprised at the river bend at Mbororé on March 11, 1641. The fight was favorable to the Indians who had fortified both shores. The Bandeirantes retreated and dug in, and tried to surrender, but the Indians had had enough, and for days they pursued the fleeing Bandeirantes through the jungle. Few made it back to Sao Paulo. Slowly, the destroyed missions were rebuilt.;;;;;;;;;;

Thanks for the corrections. I have clearly not learn the rules for Capitalization in English, which are clearly different from Spanish and are making me commit mistakes in both languages now 
I have a question regarding desolated/devastated. What I want to say is that they captured all the people in the territory and those not captured abandoned the land so nobody lived there anymore, not that they looted and destroyed everything in the territory, so I am not sure devastated is appropriate.

Fodoron,
I think your main problem is proper nouns, which should be capitalized and regular nouns, which aren't. For example Castilian Royal Council would be capitalized because it's the name of a particular royal council, not just any royal council. Indians will pretty much always be capitalized because its the name of a particular tribe or nation, just like Spanish or American. Bandeirante probably shouldn't be capitalized either but I decided to leave it alone because it's a novel term to see in English.
I thought that you might be trying for that meaning, but I've never seen that useage before although it's probably technically correct since desolation is used every once in a while. Feel free to leave it as is since it's not actually wrong!
This concludes our English grammar lesson for today, students. There will be a quiz next Wednesday, be prepared!

Thanks again. I guess my problem is to identify when a noun is proper or regular. In Spanish, "españoles" is a regular noun, not a proper noun, and hence not capitalized. That's why I see no difference between Bandeirantes and Indians, as they both refer to a group of people, and I have doubts about them both being capitalized or not. Anyway I am always eager to learn moresturmvogel said:
, so feel free to correct me anytime.
The Tordesillas distribution found in the game is not the original one, but the final result, with the Philippines in the Spanish area, and several Brazilian provinces that were theoretically in the Spanish side are actually in the Portuguese side.
One side effect is that there is some overlap, and Uruguay displays a Portuguese shield, yet it behaves as a mixed province, if walked over by either Portuguese or Spanish troops, it will be captured by any of those nations if ToT rules apply. The same case takes place in the Northernmost Brazilian province.
This is not a bug, but a feature. A feature that AGCEEP has not taken advantage until now. Those provinces were heavily contested. Uruguay between Spain and Portugal, and the Guyanna between France and Portugal. The next events should reflect the contest over Uruguay, and the tremendous impact that that contest had over the natives.
EVENTNAME285182;The colony of Sacramento;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285182;The Portuguese had little respect for the Treaty of Tordesillas, and in 1680 the Governor of Rio, Manuel Lobo established the Nova Colônia del Santíssimo Sacramento just in front of Buenos Aires at the Northern shore of the Rio de la Plata in what is today Uruguay. This fragrant intrusion in the Spanish area was not kindly taken, specially since Sacramento engaged in a most damaging contraband against the Spanish monopoly through Lima. The Governor of Buenos Aires, José de Garro quickly seized the colony with the help of Guarani Indians and captured Lobo, but the colony was returned the next year by the Provisional Treaty of Lisbon of 1681. When Portugal entered the War of Spanish Succesion in 1705, the Governor of Buenos Aires, Valdez de Inclán, captured again Sacramento with Guarani soldiers, but it had to be returned to Portugal once more under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1715. In 1724 the Portuguese started to expand in the area, leading the Governor of Buenos Aires, Mauricio de Zabala, to found San Felipe y Santiago de Montevideo in 1726, strongly increasing Spanish control over the Banda Oriental region, or eastern shore of the Rio de la Plata.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285182A;Found Montevideo;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTNAME285183;Treaty of Madrid;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285183;After the Anglo-Spanish war of 1739-1748, known in England as War of Jenkin's ear, and in Spain as Guerra del Asiento, the Spanish King feared an English attack in the Rio de la Plata possessions. With a desire to solve the confrontation with Portugal over Sacramento, and on the advice of his Portuguese wife, Barbara de Braganza, he signed in 1750 an agreement to hand over all the lands East of the river Uruguay and North of the river Negro to Portugal in exchange for the colony of Sacramento. The vast region that was to become Portuguese was known as Seven Villages, for the seven Jesuit Reductions that exploited the area. The Jesuit Order obeyed, and the Indians were told to abandon their lands or become slaves to the Portuguese.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285183A;Sign the agreement;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285183B;It is a foolish pact;;;;;;;;;;
If firearms were given to the Indians, now they have the capability to oppose their eviction. If not, this event will be sleeping.
EVENTNAME285184;The Jesuit Republic;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285184;When by the Treaty of Madrid, the Guarani Indians were told by their Jesuit fathers to evacuate their lands or become Portuguese slaves, they refused and took the arms to resist. They were leaded by José Sepé Tiarayú. Against them a Spanish army under Gaspar de Monive, Marquis of Valdelirios, and a Portuguese army under Gomes Freire de Andrade. For two years both armies conducted an ineffectual war against the guerrilla tactics of the Indians. Finally in 1756, both armies joined forces, and after the killing of José Sepé, they slaughtered 1300 Indians at Caibaté, suffering four casualties. Soon they took control of the region with a final death toll of about 6000 Indians. These events are narrated in the movie ''The Mission.'' After the campaign, Freire and Valdelirios, wrote letters blaming the Jesuit order for instigating the Indians, and arrested 11 fathers. The matters were investigated by the new Governor of Buenos Aires, Pedro de Ceballos, and by the Jesuit order, whose General, Ignazio Visconti, had given orders, under penalty of mortal sin, expulsion, and excommunication, of collaborating with the authorities. The investigations did not find any evidence to substantiate the accusations, and the case was superseded to the indignation of Freire and the Marquis of Pombal, the Portuguese Prime Minister, who were Masons and enemies of the order. The Marquis of Pombal took matters into his own hands and wrote a pamphlet entitled ''Brief account of the Jesuit Republic and its war against Spain and Portugal.'' These events undermined the reputation of the Jesuits in Europe, laying the ground for their expulsion.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285184A;The Indians refuse to abandon their lands;;;;;;;;;;
One side effect is that there is some overlap, and Uruguay displays a Portuguese shield, yet it behaves as a mixed province, if walked over by either Portuguese or Spanish troops, it will be captured by any of those nations if ToT rules apply. The same case takes place in the Northernmost Brazilian province.

The Governor of Buenos Aires, José de Garro quickly seized the colony with the help of Guarani Indians and captured Lobo, but the colony was returned the next year by the Provisional Treaty of Lisbon of 1681. When Portugal entered the War of Spanish Succesion in 1705, the Governor of Buenos Aires, Valdez de Inclán, captured again Sacramento with Guarani soldiers, but it had to be returned to Portugal once more under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1715. In 1724 the Portuguese started to expand in the area, leading the Governor of Buenos Aires, Mauricio de Zabala, to found San Felipe y Santiago de Montevideo in 1726, strongly increasing Spanish control over the Banda Oriental region, or eastern shore of the Rio de la Plata.;;;;;;;;;;

With a desire to solve the confrontation with Portugal over Sacramento, and on the advice of his Portuguese wife, Barbara de Braganza, he signed in 1750 an agreement to hand over all the lands East of the river Uruguay and North of the river Negro to Portugal in exchange for the colony of Sacramento. The vast region that was to become Portuguese was known as Seven Villages, for the seven Jesuit Reductions that exploited the area. The Jesuit Order obeyed, and the Indians were told to abandon their lands or become slaves to the Portuguese.;;;;;;;;;;

}EVENTHIST285184;When by the Treaty of Madrid, the Guarani Indians were told by their Jesuit fathers to evacuate their lands or become Portuguese slaves, they refused and took the arms to resist. They were leaded by José Sepé Tiarayú. Against them a Spanish army under Gaspar de Monive, Marquis of Valdelirios, and a Portuguese army under Gomes Freire de Andrade. For two years both armies conducted an ineffectual war against the guerrilla tactics of the Indians. Finally in 1756, both armies joined forces, and after the killing of José Sepé, they slaughtered 1300 Indians at Caibaté, suffering four casualties. Soon they took control of the region with a final death toll of about 6000 Indians. These events are narrated in the movie ''The Mission.'' After the campaign, Freire and Valdelirios, wrote letters blaming the Jesuit order for instigating the Indians, and arrested 11 fathers. The matters were investigated by the new Governor of Buenos Aires, Pedro de Ceballos, and by the Jesuit order, whose General, Ignazio Visconti, had given orders, under penalty of mortal sin, expulsion, and excommunication, of collaborating with the authorities. The investigations did not find any evidence to substantiate the accusations, and the case was superseded to the indignation of Freire and the Marquis of Pombal, the Portuguese Prime Minister, who were Masons and enemies of the order. The Marquis of Pombal took matters into his own hands and wrote a pamphlet entitled ''Brief account of the Jesuit Republic and its war against Spain and Portugal.'' These events undermined the reputation of the Jesuits in Europe, laying the ground for their expulsion.;;;;;;;;;;

You are right. The treaty of Madrid requires Parana, but is 17 years before, so the colonies might have been lost.YodaMaster said:
The final set of events, refers to the important Treaty of San Ildefonso-El Pardo. This treaty represents a friendly solution between two family members to a problem that neither desired.
For Portugal it was very important that her right to trespass the Tordesillas line was legally recognized, and that the San Pedro do Sul area was preserved for Brazil. On the other hand the removal of Pombal eliminated the problem to return Colonia del Sacramento, which was of little importance in the new order of things.
Spain was toying with the idea of getting into the then extraordinarily profitable slave market, of which Spain had had no part for religious principles, as it was illegal to enslave people (not to buy or own slaves in certain areas, like Cuba). In the end the project came to nothing, as slavery was becoming very impopular, but this Treaty was the basis for the Spanish Guinea colony in Africa later on.
This treaty was also extremely important for the countries of the area after decolonization, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, and even Peru and Bolivia. As several of them based their rights into it, and probably Paraguay owes it her existance, as Brazil tried to downright annex her.

EVENTHIST260169;After a century of contention over the limits between Brazil and Rio de La Plata exacerbated by the Colônia del Sacramento that was conquered and returned three times by Spain, and in the midst of a Spanish offensive that constituted a serious menace over the recently settled San Pedro do Sul area, the removal of the Marquis of Pombal by Queen María allowed a peaceful settlement over the disputed borders with her uncle Carlos III of Spain. At the Treaty of San Ildefonso on October 1, 1777, confirmed in the Treaty of El Pardo in 1778, Portugal ceded Colônia del Sacramento to Spain, but retained Santa Catalina and San Pedro, adquiring rights beyond Tordesillas limits in exchange for the African island of Fernando Poo (now Bioko) and full commercial rights in the African coast between the Niger and the Ogoue rivers.

EVENTHIST285186;The return to the Status Quo Ante situation in the region between Rio de la Plata and Brazil imposed by the Treaty of Paris of 1763 was unsatisfactory to both parts. Colonia de Sacramento continuous contraband was a thorn in Spanish colonial monopoly, and Portugal ambitioned the San Pedro region, not recognizing the Spanish right to it. Spain blockaded Sacramento to reduce contraband, further infuriating the Luso-Brazilians. In 1767 they attacked Rio Grande de San Pedro, expelling the Spaniards from the area. Tensions mounted for several years as the Portuguese established numerous ranches in the seized area with stock stolen from the mission estancias. This lead to military build up in the region. But while Spain was trying to reach a diplomatic agreement, the Marquis of Pombal was betting on a military victory. While negotiations were being conducted in 1776, the Portuguese attacked and further pushed the Spaniards South at the disputed border. This deception was the last straw for Spain. A great fleet was assambled, formed by 116 ships and 19,000 men, under command of Pedro Ceballos. To better cope with Portuguese ambitions, the Viceroyalty of La Plata was created, and Pedro Ceballos named first Viceroy. The Ceballos campaign of 1777 was a complete success. He soon conquered the island of Santa Catalina and Colonia de Sacramento, where the Portuguese bastion was leveled. He was going to continue with the conquest of San Pedro when orders arrived from Madrid to stop the offensive. With the death of José I of Portugal, his daughter María had fired the Marquis of Pombal, and desired peace with her uncle, King Carlos III of Spain. The Spanish prime minister, Floridablanca, also wanted a free hand to take advantage of the American Revolution, so a peace treaty was signed at San Ildefonso on October 1, 1777, and confirmed in the Treaty of El Pardo in 1778.

Province Specific events 338070-338072
Spanish events 285193-285194
the first one is province specific to anyone that plants a colony in Talca
EVENTNAME338070;The Mapuches;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST338070;The Mapuches or Araucanians that inhabited the Central-South part of Chile proved to be one of the most difficult native nations to conquer, given their war prowess and the lack of resources of the Spanish army in this remote area of the empire. The war of Arauco started in 1544, after the city of Santiago had been destroyed by chieftain Michimaloco. In response Pedro de Valdivia initiated a campaign to pacify the region, and was attacked at Quilacura. Despite his victory, he saw that the Araucanians were of great courage. After returning from Peru in 1550, Valdivia continued his campaigns until 1553, when he was defeated and captured by Lautaro and killed in torment. The Araucanian offensive continued with the destruction of Concepción in 1556.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME338070A;Perhaps we shold have left the Mapuches alone;;;;;;;;;;
The second one reflects the Spanish reaction and therefore is for Spain. It is of great importance because La Araucana is considered the first great literary masterpiece produced in the New World.
EVENTNAME285193;La Araucana;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285193;The Spaniards reacted to the death of Valdivia and the Araucanian offensive with a military response. In 1557 Francisco de Villagra killed the Toqui (war leader) Lautaro, and the next year his successor Caupolicán was killed by the new governor, García Hurtado de Mendoza. Although the Spaniards suffered a few setbacks, for the most part of this phase of the war they were victorious and by 1570 the Arauco was apparently pacified by Pedro de Villagra and Rodrigo de Quiroga. One of García Hurtado's captains was the poet Alonso de Ercilla, who wrote his masterwork La Araucana based on these events. However the Araucanians were far from pacified but were only taking a respite from plagues and defeats.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285193A;Pacify the Mapuche;;;;;;;;;;
Anybody should have troubles keeping Talca, so another province specific event.
EVENTNAME338071;Araucanian raising;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST338071;In 1592 a new governor, Martín García Óñez de Loyola arrived an started offering peace treaties to the always rebellious Araucanians. They interpreted it as a sign of weakness and started a general rebellion. The governor was defeated at Curalaba and beheaded, and the Spaniards had to retreat North of the Bio-Bio River. The city of Valdivia was abandoned and burnt by the Araucanians. Alonso de Ribera, a veteran of the Tercios, took up the defense and established a fortified line of defense at the Bio-Bio River.;;;;;;;;;;
Again, a Spanish response to Araucanian resistance.

EVENTHIST285194;The strong defensive system of Alonso de Ribera was very effective in limiting the Araucanian attacks, and in 1608 the Araucanian Toqui Pelantaro accepted peace and, as a submission signal, returned the skulls of Valdivia and García Óñez that he used to drink chicha, the local beer. Meanwhile the Jesuits were trying to convince the government that Indian resistance was due to Spanish repressive methods. It was worth trying, so the mystic father Luis de Valdivia was authorized in 1612 to promise the Araucanians peace and Spanish retreat from their lands in exchange for accepting missionaries. Obviously as soon as the military left, the missionaries were cruelly put to death. By 1626, it was clear that the defensive war proposed by the Jesuits was a complete failure and was abandoned. However plagues and racial mixing were slowly reducing the Araucanian resistance.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285194A;Retreat from Mapuche territory;;;;;;;;;;
Finally the province is pacified for all (province specific)
EVENTNAME338072;The end of the Arauco war;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST338072;The rebellion of 1655 was the last serious attempt to expel the Spaniards from the Arauco, but the risk came mostly from corruption and ineptitude by the Spanish governor. When Pedro Porter Casanate was named new governor, he quickly defeated the Araucanians. He still had some problems with one of his soldiers, the mestizo (mixed-blood) Alejandro de Vivar, whose mother had been kidnapped by the Mapuche and bore him with a chieftain before being rescued. Due to discrimination, the mestizo Alejo deserted to the Mapuche and became a successful war leader until he was killed, allegedly by his own wives, in 1660. In 1645 Valdivia had been repopulated, and in 1657 Concepción was rebuilt after an earthquake. Spanish presence became permanent and the Araucanians, although not totally submitted, became only a minor nuisance.;;;;;;;;;;

La guerra del Arauco 1550-1656
Province Specific events 338070-338072
Spanish events 285193-285194
the first one is province specific to anyone that plants a colony in Talca
Code:
# The Mapuches
# by Fodoron
event = {
id = 338070
trigger = {
NOT = {
provincereligion = { province = 176 data = pagan } # Talca
}
}
random = no
province = 176
name = "EVENTNAME338070" # The Mapuches
desc = "EVENTHIST338070"
date = { year = 1544 }
offset = 100
deathdate = { year = 1556 }
action_a = {
name = "ACTIONNAME338070A" # Perhaps we shold have left the Mapuches alone
command = { type = revolt which = 176 } # Talca
command = { type = revolt which = 176 } # Talca
command = { type = province_revoltrisk which = 176 value = 4 } # Talca
}
}EVENTHIST338070;The Mapuches or Araucanians that inhabited the Central-South part of Chile proved to be one of the most difficult native nations to conquer, given their war prowess and the lack of resources of the Spanish army in this remote area of the empire. The war of Arauco started in 1544, after the city of Santiago had been destroyed by chieftain Michimaloco. In response Pedro de Valdivia initiated a campaign to pacify the region, and was attacked at Quilacura. Despite his victory, he saw that the Araucanians were of great courage. After returning from Peru in 1550, Valdivia continued his campaigns until 1553, when he was defeated and captured by Lautaro and killed in torment. The Araucanian offensive continued with the destruction of Concepción in 1556.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME338070A;Perhaps we shold have left the Mapuches alone;;;;;;;;;;
The second one reflects the Spanish reaction and therefore is for Spain. It is of great importance because La Araucana is considered the first great literary masterpiece produced in the New World.
Code:
# La Araucana
# by Fodoron
event = {
id = 285193
trigger = {
owned = { province = 176 data = -1 } # Talca
}
random = no
country = SPA
name = "EVENTNAME285193" # La Araucana
desc = "EVENTHIST285193"
date = { year = 1553 }
offset = 100
deathdate = { year = 1575 }
action_a = {
name = "ACTIONNAME285193A" # Pacify the Mapuche
command = { type = INF which = 176 value = 4000 } # Talca
command = { type = province_revoltrisk which = 176 value = 3 } # Talca
}
}EVENTHIST285193;The Spaniards reacted to the death of Valdivia and the Araucanian offensive with a military response. In 1557 Francisco de Villagra killed the Toqui (war leader) Lautaro, and the next year his successor Caupolicán was killed by the new governor, García Hurtado de Mendoza. Although the Spaniards suffered a few setbacks, for the most part of this phase of the war they were victorious and by 1570 the Arauco was apparently pacified by Pedro de Villagra and Rodrigo de Quiroga. One of García Hurtado's captains was the poet Alonso de Ercilla, who wrote his masterwork La Araucana based on these events. However the Araucanians were far from pacified but were only taking a respite from plagues and defeats.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285193A;Pacify the Mapuche;;;;;;;;;;
Anybody should have troubles keeping Talca, so another province specific event.
Code:
# Araucanian raising
# by Fodoron
event = {
id = 338071
trigger = {
NOT = {
provincereligion = { province = 176 data = pagan } # Talca

}
random = no
province = 176
name = "EVENTNAME338071" # Araucanian raising
desc = "EVENTHIST338071"
date = { year = 1592 }
offset = 100
deathdate = { year = 1605 }
action_a = {
name = "ACTIONNAME338070A" # Perhaps we shold have left the Mapuches alone
command = { type = revolt which = 176 } # Talca
command = { type = revolt which = 176 } # Talca
command = { type = province_revoltrisk which = 176 value = 3 } # Talca
}
}EVENTHIST338071;In 1592 a new governor, Martín García Óñez de Loyola arrived an started offering peace treaties to the always rebellious Araucanians. They interpreted it as a sign of weakness and started a general rebellion. The governor was defeated at Curalaba and beheaded, and the Spaniards had to retreat North of the Bio-Bio River. The city of Valdivia was abandoned and burnt by the Araucanians. Alonso de Ribera, a veteran of the Tercios, took up the defense and established a fortified line of defense at the Bio-Bio River.;;;;;;;;;;
Again, a Spanish response to Araucanian resistance.
Code:
# Defensive war in Arauco

command = { type = INF which = 176 value = -2000 } # Talca
command = { type = province_revoltrisk which = 176 value = -2 } # Talca
}
}EVENTHIST285194;The strong defensive system of Alonso de Ribera was very effective in limiting the Araucanian attacks, and in 1608 the Araucanian Toqui Pelantaro accepted peace and, as a submission signal, returned the skulls of Valdivia and García Óñez that he used to drink chicha, the local beer.

However plagues and racial mixing were slowly reducing the Araucanian resistance.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285194A;Retreat from Mapuche territory;;;;;;;;;;
Finally the province is pacified for all (province specific)

NOT = {

The myth of El Dorado was a powerful one. It also ties with the little known German exploration of Venezuela.

Spanish events 285195-285198
EVENTNAME285195;Klein-Venedig;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285195;In debt with his German bankers, Emperor Carlos decided to grant Bartholomäus Welser a concession to exploit Venezuela, or as they called it, Klein-Venedig. Trying to quickly recoup the money, the Welser hired several young Germans to conduct expeditions to find one of those mountains of gold and treasures that the Spaniards were finding everywhere. They were Nikolaus Federmann (Nicolás Federman), Georg von Speyer (Jorge de la Espira) and Philipp von Hutten (Felipe de Utre). They conducted several German explorations departing from Santa Ana de Coro (Tocuvo) and became embroiled in the myth of El Dorado, but found no riches, and many of the Germans found death in the jungle. The Welser then turned to squeeze Venezuela as much as possible to try to recover their money, leading to complaints, and a lengthy trial, 1541-56, that ended in the revocking of the concession to the Welser.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285195A;Give concession to the Welser;;;;;;;;;;

EVENTNAME285196;The legend of El Dorado;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285196;The great riches of the Aztecs and Inca excited the imagination of the Spanish conquistadors, that dreamed of finding another of such treasures. Sebastián de Benalcázar was one of the captains of Pizarro, in charge of conquering Quito, but when he arrived he found the place burnt to the ground by the Inca general Rumiñavi, and no hint of the supposed riches. Rumiñavi died without saying a word, but one of the captives spoke of a region towards the North, where a very rich chieftain used to cover himself in gold powder before bathing in a sacred lake to which gold offerings were also thrown. The name of the chieftain was El Dorado, or the gilded one. Soon the name was applied to his supposedly fabulously rich kingdom, and Benalcázar started to prepare his expedition in search of El Dorado.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285196A;We shall find it;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285196B;It is just a myth;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTNAME285197;Chibcha treasure;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285197;The legend of El Dorado became the personal obsession of Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, a lawyer turned into conquistador, that in 1536 departed Santa Marta in the Northern coast of Colombia with 900 men towards the interior. The expedition was epic due to the difficulties found, and finally 178 men under his command reached the valleys inhabited by the Muisca, also called the Chibcha. They were one of the most advanced cultures in América, and extremely rich due to their mining of emeralds, copper and salt, that traded for gold to other tribes. In one year Quesada and his band had conquered the estimated one million Muiscas using the tipical conquistador tactics of using internal divisions and seizing the zipa (ruler) and using him as a puppet before putting him to trial and executing him. The treasure seized was amazing, and third only to the Aztec and Inca treasures. The royal fifth amounted to 70 kg of gold and 576 emeralds. However Quesada, now inmensely rich but with troubles with the authorities due to his mistreatment of the Indians, was convinced that this treasure was only a small part of what he could get if he was capable of finding El Dorado.;;;;;;;;;;
ACTIONNAME285197A;This is not El Dorado;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTNAME285198;The end of El Dorado;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285198;In search of El Dorado departed Pedro de Ursúa from Peru in 1560, down the rivers Marañón, Amazon and Orinocco, but he was killed by his second Lope de Aguirre and the expedition went rogue, commiting all kind of crimes until they were all killed in Venezuela. The obsession of Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada with El Dorado led him to obtain permission for a new expedition in 1569, putting his huge personal fortune in the line to finance it. The expedition departed with 400 Spaniards, 1500 Indians and 8 priests, and returned empty-handed in December 1572 with 64 Spaniards, 4 Indians and 2 priests, being one of the most expensive disasters in the Spanish conquest, almost ruining Quesada. But these two disastrous expeditions did not kill the myth. When it became evident that El Dorado was not to be found in Nueva Granada (Colombia), it was simply moved to the last unexplored part of the continent, the Guiana, where the last person to look for it was Sir Walter Raleigh who conducted two failed expeditions in 1595 and 1616. After that, the myth was finally put to rest, but in 1856, the drainage of the Siecha lake, in Muisca territory, allowed the discovery of a gold boat with ten figures, one of which was a chieftain. The gold boat, now in the Bogotá museum, proved that the ceremony that gave origen to the myth was authentic, and that Quesada found El Dorado without knowing it.;;;;;;;;;;

about EVENTNAME81008;The Death Of Huayna Capac
Hej!
I have noticed some strange features about the event81008 "The Death Of Huayna Capac" and the following events.
Historically, it was Huascar who became an emperor after Huayna Capac's death. Then Athahuallpa revolted against Huascar. Athahuallpa won and became a new (but the last) emperor....
But AI would choose Atahuallpa rather than Huascar as a successor in event81008. Why?
(And there is the same sentence both EVENTHIST81009 and 81010. It's also strange.)
