Only a few islands in the Caribbean and the northern colonies in OTL Canada and New England stay loyal to king Henry VI. 1629: In Atlantis, the French-Spanish border is moved south, giving Virginia (OTL Georgia - named after the Virgin Mary) to France now. 1631: Sea battle of Jamaica. Castillians occupy English colonies in the Caribbean. England falls into financial crisis. 1632: France's ally Denmark-Braunschweig defeats the Dutch in Atlantis in the battle of Nieuw Brugge (OTL Easton, PA - later renamed Neubrück). 1633: University of Tenochtitlan founded. Sweden fears that France might grab the former English colony of Braseal, so they occupy it instead. 1634: The former king Henry VI disappears in Atlantis, and in the following decades, many men will appear (in England, Atlantis and other places) claiming to be king Henry. 1637: Dissenter's Revolt in New England.

Denmark-Braunschweig gets Haraldsborg back, plus becomes protector of the Commonwealth of New England (the dissenters prefer "the papist German king in Europe to the papist English governor in Markland"). German immigration now also goes to New England, where many new settlements are founded. English loyalists emigrate to Markland. 1642: The colonies of Denmark-Braunschweig (Martinsburg, Waldstätten, Nieuw-Nederland, Haraldsborg and Anderland) are united under a common administration. 1645: In the castle of Fontainebleau, the first "Mexican Garden" is made. Mexican gardens are influenced by the Aztec way of gardening / planting crops, putting many different colorful plants next to each other, forming geometrical patterns, with colors matching of course. Since 1650: The settlements in the colonies of Denmark-Braunschweig and Florence, plus the New English Commonwealth, meanwhile have reached the official border to the French-claimed territory, which is still mostly settled by native Atlanteans.
