THE UNION LOSES D.C TO THE CONFEDERATE
The American Civil War has taken a turn of the worst as Washington D.C is burning and President Abe Lincoln was captured. The Civil War already declared the faith of the United States - which is death... The United States has lost the Civil War and even if they win it, they will forever remain a middle power and they will mean nothing to the rest of the world.

STATE OF WAR DECLARED BY THE KINGDOM OF PRUSSIA AND THE EMPIRE OF AUSTRIA
A state of war was declared by Wilhelm I of Prussia and Franz of Austria towards Frederick VII of Denmark. Later the week, Charles XV of Sweden and Norway declared war towards Prussia and Austria to defend Denmark. The Declaration of War was caused as Denmark refused to withdraw their forces from Schleswig-Holstein and refused to accept the claims of Prussia and Austria from Schleswig-Holstein... Will France and Great Britain join the Schleswig-Holstein Conflict allied or against Prussia and Austria?

Luís's Statement on Everything That Happened So Far in 1861
My people, my people. Today we are witnessing important chain of events, first the American Civil War and now the Taiping Rebellion. This means that the people are standing against their governments from moral or personal reasons. The governments of the world need to watch it's people before they also get ideas of revolution against their government. The Confederate States of America have won the right to become a nation, just like the United States of America did with Great Britain. Portugal gains the right to recognize the Confederate States of America's independence; even known they still have slavery, they will become great partners to Portugal and her people as we will do the same.
While the Schleswig-Holstein Conflict has started, Portugal will leave out of this conflict; but, we have the right to say that Schleswig-Holstein belongs to German Confederation due to the most of the population are Prussians. Yet, we understand it's Denmark's under The London Protocol and have every right to not withdraw it's forces from it. I hope that the war is fought fast and that one side comes out victorious.
- Translated and published by Rafael Almeida from The Eastern Azorean in October 20th, 1861.
