The year is 1640.  The Dutch defeat of the Spanish navy in 1639
has just ended that country's reign as a seafaring nation, 
opening the door for English, Dutch, and French settlements 
that had established a foothold in the New World.  Meanwhile,
The Thirty Year's War continued to drag on through Europe, 
leaving the newly formed colonies on their own against each
other and the primitive, but plentiful natives.  You have until 
1899, the end of the Spanish-American War, which was the last territorial 
war involving the area of the map.

@end -- this line must be here!
