    Cuzco September 29, 1826

    For many moons, we hid upon the mountaintops awaiting the day we may strike against the beast. For many moons, we suffered and prayed that our oppression may finally come to an end. For many moons, we have dreamed our return to greatness under a renewed Sapa Inca. After many, many moons, our prayers were finally answered. The unyielding wave of revolution had finally made its way ashore, crashing against the old order to likes never before seen.

    It started with the Americans, led from near destruction by Thomas Paine. Now, the four corners of the continent are engulfed in the flames of liberation. Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla tolls the bells of uprising across Mexico. Toussaint Louverture has captivated not just his home of Haiti, but the Caribbean to join him in arms against their crowns. Your people of Columbia are rising up against the Spanish crown, no less, under your own leadership!

    For us, our revolution predates all known before, yet we feared that it would too be the first to crumble. Many times, we were on the run, hiding out in the highest peaks until we were able to find an opening, an escape. Had the Sapa Inca engaged directly with the Spanish, it would have all been for not. Thankfully, after heeding my word, he decided guerilla warfare may be what carries us to light at the end of a long, grueling tunnel, yet we wondered if we'd ever make it to that end.

    I speak for all of us when we give the utmost gratitude for your unconditional aid in these trying times, great Bolivar. Without your valiant offensive against the Spanish authorities, we would have never rebounded from the hill and renewed the liberation of our lands. We wish to humbly invite you and your cohort in the official coordination of my dearest, Túpac Amaru II, as Sapa Inca of Tawantinsuyu at our newly established parliament in Cuzco. We would be elated towards your arrival, where we wish to begin forming diplomatic relations between Gran Colombia and ourselves, discussing how we may support Mexico and the Caribbean in these trying times.

    We look forward to having you as our admired guest.

    Yours Truly,
    Micaela Bastidas Puyucahua

    To the esteemed Micaela Bastidas Puyucahua,

    It is with great joy to receive such a heart filled letter. I must extend such gratitude towards you and your efforts within Peru, for the people of the lost empire look to you not only as leaders of a rising Phoenix, but as a rising bastion of democracy across the new world.

    Indeed, such efforts within Granada have been tumultuous at times, not too dissimilar to your own struggles. So many times have we've been beaten to a bloody pulp, licking our wounds in seclusion. Why, I often wondered if such a cause could survive against the insurmountable beast of Spanish rule, let alone stand as a united force against it.

    Fate, however, has smiled upon us. Not only have we rebounded, you and I, but the downtrodden across this new world are finally breaking themselves free from the chains of tyranny. It is my hope that our efforts may prove fruitful once Liberty, after all this time, washes away the filth that has poisoned our souls and dampened our resolve.

    On the subject, I received correspondence that our brothers and sisters to the north are facing great success. The Haitian Patriots inspired Insurrection across the whole of the Caribbean. The Mexican front, too, forced the Spanish on the retreat, with some nobles fleeing en masse to uncharted waters. The Americans have struck into the British Beast to its south, making gains throughout the rivers that flow towards liberation.

    However, it comes with great sadness, as I am sure your regency informed you prior, that our allies to the south were not so fortunate. The Argentinians have faced a crushing defeat by the British, now occupying Buenos Aries. I worry that such a blow could pose a significant threat to your realm, if not for the whole of South American democracy. We must be alert for what is to come.

    In the meanwhile, it would be an honor to accept such a generous invitation to your coronation as empress of the Inca. I look forward to our reunion.

    Sincerely,
    Simon Bolivar

    • Simon Bolivar attends the coronation of the Restored Inca Emperor.

    I kind of wonder what happens to Simon Bolivar's popularity in America here. Several things were named after him, up to and including people (Simon Bolivar Buckner was a Confederate general), and my hometown, even though it was built late in the grand scheme of things still has a Bolivar Street.

    I believe, and don't quote me on this, that Bolivar will still be a major figure in South American politics but there will be other figures that he may play second fiddle to.

    HAITIAN LEAD DECOLONIZATION OF THE CARIBBEAN!🇭🇹
    And wow, I expected the Dominion of America to get their teeth kicked in by the United States of America, but I didn't expect it in the 1820s! ☠️
     
    Guessing whatever is going on up north with the US vs the Dominion I'm guessing is an TTLs version of 1812 but going way better for the US?
