## **Pago History**

Patagonian Welsh gained a high of 30,000 speakers in the 1870s to 12,000 in 1920 and 5000 today.

The British first settled Patagonia in 1775, with prior expansions in 1766 into the Falklands, eventually culminating in the British Invasion of the River Plate in 1806 that saw a border between the Spanish Empire and the British at the Rio Colorado.

The British did not take the River Plate as they experienced defeats there and it was believed they could not hold it. Instead the British supported the Mayo Revolution and kept Argentina closely aligned to British policies

Patagonian Welsh became widely spoken as a Welsh writer Sir something bought land along the Camwys(Chubut) from the Patagonian Company to establish a New Wales, and subsequently a large amount of immigration came from Wales that Welsh became the predominant language of large parts of New Wales or Y Wladfa

The language eventually gradually disappeared, as British attitudes to the Welsh language became apparent in Patagonia as even in New Wales British settlers began to come in and the authorities continued to outlaw monolingual Welsh speakers from office. Welsh was eventually even banned from schools upon the unification of the Patagonian colonies into the Dominion of Patagonia, especially in the early 20th century which resulted in only 5000 people today speaking Welsh, with some bilingual education beginning to be offered.

## **The Colorado War**

The Colorado War was a war by Argentine Dictator Galtieri where they aimed to take on Argentine claims to the lands north of the Rio Negro to the Colorado as well as the Falklands and South Georgia, as they claimed that the UK’s Invasion of River Plate(they did not annex the River Plate north of the Colorado as it was more populated in this timeline and already home to populations seething under distant foreign rule, so the UK preferred a puppet government aligned to their interests) was an unlawful seizure of rightful Argentine territory(lands north of the Negro) as well as the expulsion of the Argentine forces from the Falklands which had sought to reoccupy the Spanish Puerto Soledad, but the British claimed the islands were rightfully under British sovereignty

The junta assumed the UK would not act upon their defense treaty with Patagonia, and that Patagonia’s military was too weak and would easily be crushed.

They were wrong and Galtieri was ousted three days after a devastating defeat.

Patagonia and Argentina still maintain territorial disputes and like the UK and Spain are fairly cordial under Mercosur, but sometimes Spain brings up Gibraltar and Argentina brings up its claims for UN consultation and protests, but Patagonia refuses to acknowledge them
