Portugese are colonizing the area that I wanted!...how do I stop them? I dont want them to colonize that area and their colonists are there and now establishing a colony in progress....WHAT DO I DO! I swear one of these in game-days I will destroy Portugal!

Declare war, occupy the colony and burn it/seize it.

You can burn it/seize it during the war(For some AE and Millitary power) if it's still a colony. If it's grown to a full province then you can't get rid of it, only take it in the peace deal.

Don't be surprised if they recolonize it fairly quickly even during the war. Look at the colony progress and try and play it so you destroy it near the end of the war.

Also, remember if you seize or take colonies in war it will increase your colony budget and you may be caught by surprise with a large mainatennce fee for awhile.

Why would you burn it tho? It's basically free land. YOu know, colonizing countries are like piggies, you wait till they grow, and then slaughter them. Easy British Canada strats.
