Portuguese Conflict
During the founding of the United States of America, New York City was controlled by the Portuguese Empire. Portugal offered to sell the colony to the United States for a large sum of $10,000. The United States government under President Aethelmod declined the offer and instead countered with a sum of $5,000. Portugal countered once more with an offer of $9,000. After several attempts to purchase the land ended in failure, the U.S. government backed away from negotiations and began preparing for war.

The conflict was ultimately resolved on July 16, 2019 when an American citizen offered $5,700 to the Portuguese government for the land. During the conflict, the United States managed to convince both France and the Dutch to terminate their alliances with Portugal. An alliance was subsequently formed between the United States and France.

The Berlin Accord
The Berlin Accord, an idea originally created by Assyria came into effect after an alliance was forged between the German Empire and United States. This alliance soon spread to include France after the Portuguese Conflict.

The Signing of the Monroe Doctrine
The Monroe Doctrine was issued on July 16, 2019 by President Aethelmod after the acquisition of New York City. This document was in full opposition to European and non-European colonialism in North and South America. As of July 16, 2019, however, the Monroe Doctrine remained simply to protect American interests in the contiguous United States region, while all of South America, Canada, and Mexico went largely unprotected.
