Description Part 3.10:

Starting in July of 1914, British and the remaining Portuguese forces in Brazil launched a strike into the Silver River, the French Guiana, and Venezuela. This invasion prompted many locals, who had long sought independence from French hegemony, to rise up in favor of the Brits. While the French and Spanish were prepared for the invasion, they weren’t prepared for the rebellion, simply known as the Great Rebellion. After trying to fight both the Brits and Rebels, they would have to retreat and dessert everything east of the Andes by 1915. Caracas is still split between Britain and Spain, with intense street-to-street fighting.

In these newly occupied areas, Britain set up puppet republics, known as the Republic of the Silver River, the Republic of the Orinoco, and the Dutch Republic in the Guianas. While many celebrate finally receiving their independent republic so many dreamed for, many others, such as the Loyalists, who never wished for a Republic and instead wish to remain part of the Spanish Empire, or the so-called “Gris”, whom say that they’ve just exchanged one master for another.
-------------------------------
People have complained (and by complain, I mean put forward legit problems with my TL so far) about how people in Spanish South America would want to break free from Spain, regardless whether or not Napoleon overthrew the rightful King (although that surely accelerated the process). So, as to correct that, I made this.

Do you have the ground battle icon? Can I borrow it?

Because of the fact I make each of the icons manually and individually, I can't say that I do.

Using GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program), I take ink and set the size of it down to 2, then using the path tool, make a path with only 2 nodes, from top right to bottom left/bottom right to top left, then stroke path. Window will pop up, then click on "stroke with paint tool, and then pick ink from the scroll-down menu and click the "emulate brush dynamics" option, then click stroke path button at the bottom of the window. Repeat 3 more times (although the options for the pop-up window will remain, so all you have to do is make a new path and click the "stroke path" buttons).

I hope I explained it well enough
