        The borders in Africa, middle east and west asia would not exist like they do if it wasn’t for all of europe’s imperialism. So I think the premise here is that imperialism stopped right before the discovery of the Americas.

      First, Salazar was in some ways similar to the regimes in Germany and Spain enough that he wouldn’t get outright annexed.
