What if, in an alternate timeline, the berlin conference of 1884 went completely different. Instead of the delegates discussing a fair way to divide Africa while preventing conflict between the European Great powers, they all decide that Portugal deserves the entire continent.

Why? Because Portugal has a claim on the entire continent of Africa, thanks to the treaty of Tordesillas all the way back from the 16th century. In our own timeline this treaty was quickly ignored by other great powers, but what if, in 1884, Portugal brought it up again. Realistically they would be laughed out of the room by the European great powers, but what if - for whatever reason - the delegates just agreed.

This would mean all other European powers retreat from the African continent, leaving it all up for Portuguese expansion, but Portugal is but a small nation. Can Portugal truly conquer and entire continent, one fifth of the Earth's landmass?
