Don't worry m8, once the meme hits tipping point the 4chan effect will come into play and there will be a decent Portugal appreciation thread. Probably made by a Canadian or something.

None of them have created a global empire the size of Portugals. None of them have created a revolution like that of Portugal.

USA right now is more relevant than Portugal has ever been. Moortugal is so bad they even lost a war to poo-in-the-loos
Are you a genuine Lusophile or are you just an Alberto
>>52112147
The U.S did jack shit. The European scientists who fled Europe after WW2 did all of that.
>>52112163
Wew lad
>>52112194
All of the United State's success is owed to the fact that they took in all of Europe's greatest minds, and that the rest of the world was either in rubble or communist.
>>52112215
Lad you are completely ignoring the time period from 1870 to before the second war
>>52112215
And what does that change? All that matters is the outcome and now American culture is more prevalent than any other has been.
>>52111975
There is nothing wrong with Reddit.
>>52112230
Where you were an isolationist irrelevant shit hole with child workers? Destroying your environment with rapid industrialization like China? Ok.
You beat Mexico in a war, bought some land from France. Good job.

I'm going to ignore those and focus on the technological advances and the fact that we were a neutral mediator in geopolitical deals,

You were irrelevant. During that time period you were the Colonial Power's Canada.

The good thing about the Mexican war is it made France and the U.K think twice about outright invading us and the u.k rushed to settle land disputes peacefully.
>>52112339
Heard of the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars?
>>52112339
Lad we were the world's largest economy
>>52112362

>u.k rushed to settle land disputes peacefully.
No, they didn't. You weren't a threat to them, you just weren't the effort. India and Africa were cash cows, Australia was an empty continent. You were just not worth the effort to invade. If they wanted to invade you they could have.
>>52112379
The British Empire had the worlds largest economy John
>>52112408
I visit Reddit pretty frequently for subs like fatlogic and KotakuInAction, but you have to admit most subs, especially the large ones, are massive hugboxes and circlejerks.

The US became the world's largest economy after the Civil War, Kiwi Barbosa.
>>52112504
No shit. We're talking about before WW2
>>52112520
Yeah we became the world's largest economy in the late 1800's after the American civil war
>>52112520
The Civil War ended in 1865.
>>52112520
What
>>52112520
The Civil War ended in 1865. Do you even know what you're talking about, Barboso?

>The U.S has influenced international law more times than Portugal ever has.
Here's just one example
The scholar of international law John Bassett Moore called this treaty "the greatest treaty of actual and immediate arbitration the world has ever seen." The so-called rules of Washington agreed upon by the contracting parties for the guidance of the tribunal in the interpretation of certain terms used in the treaty, and of certain principles of international law governing the obligations of neutrals, are:
That due diligence "ought to be exercised by neutral governments in exact proportion to the risks to which either of the belligerents may be exposed, from a failure to fulfill the obligations of neutrality on their part."
"The effects of a violation of neutrality committed by means of the construction, equipment, and armament of a vessel are not done away with by any commission which the government of the belligerent power benefited by the violation of neutrality may afterward have granted to that vessel; and the ultimate step by which the offense is completed cannot be admissible as a ground for the absolution of the, nor can the consummation of his fraud become the means of establishing his innocence."
"The principle of extraterritoriality has been admitted into the laws of nations, not as an absolute right, but solely as a proceeding founded on the principle of courtesy and mutual deference between different nations, and therefore can never be appealed to for the protection of acts done in violation of neutrality."[1]
Those rules affected the 1878 Congress of Berlin. Also,this precedent grew into the League of Nations and the United Nations.
