Portuguese Empire

In 1492 Portugal already had possessions in Africa, like Arguin and Gold Coast. But congratulations this is a great work.Câmara 11:31, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

United States

a: The United States didn't exist as an independent country for the vast majority of the timeline in this piece but was itself a colony of England [Great Britain] and should be listed as such to avoid distasteful historical revisionism.

b: The 'United Kingdom' itself didn't exist until 1801.
