Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'lagos'

Lagos is Nigeria's largest city and a major economic hub in West Africa, evolving from a Portuguese trading post in the 15th century to a British colonial capital and eventually Africa's most populous urban area. The city's historical significance stems from its role in transatlantic trade, colonial administration, and as the center of Nigerian independence movements. In alternate history scenarios, Lagos often features as a focal point for different colonial outcomes, Pan-African developments, or as a potential global megacity with different technological trajectories.
