I actually don't know any history of Portugal, when we learn history of latino america and Iberia in school we only learn about Spain
>>53677415
They didn't destroy you
>>53677415
>what is napoleonic wars
>>53677584
Unlike they did to you.
>>53677666
If we weren't allied with the English we wouldn't have been dragged into that anyway
>>53677413
Do you realize how powerful 1 English bowman is? 100 English bowmen is the equivalent of 2000 regular bowmen and with artillery support. These men trained all their lives with bows, and could shoot three Spaniards in one quick flick of the wrist.
Their bows were made from the finest wood, but don't make the mistake of thinking that the bow made the man. These guys could shoot well with even subpar bows
>>53677666
they fought using our army you dumb ass

>>53677572
well thats really retarded
do your maps of south america just have a gigantic hole were brasil should be?
>>53678004
We didn't learn much of anything about Brazil.
>>53678082
so if i were to ask the average american what country started the age of sea exploration or what was the first colonial empire he would reply spain?
do they at least tech our navigator?
>>53677063
It's a little thing called democracy.
>>53676170
BTW why portugalese empire colapses?
they don't fight in ww2...
>>53678217
They would think Columbus and thus Spain
We learn a bit about Portuguese explorers and how they started it and how Spain was jelly, but I doubt most Americans remember that from history class
>>53678463
They had a dictator, and he lost control of his dictation.
Someone has to make high quality towels
They're a containment country. We do NOT need more Galicia-Extremadura-AlAndalusia.
>>53676170
their food is so much better than Spanish.
>>53678613
Their sausages are literal shit-tier compared to ours.
>>53678507
Why they have dictator ?
And how whole empire can fallen because of one guy?
Stop bullying Portugal, they're cute
>>53678463

>>53679043
alberto barbosa is just a think Australians imagined wile being raped by emus
no the dictator was dis classy mofo called Dr.Antonio Oliveira de Salazar
>>53678463
Americans and Soviets installed false propaganda and supplied them with weapons.
Salazar. Portuguese Dicator from 1928 to 1969.
Ruler of the Marine Provinces and considered by the people the greatest Portuguese to have lived.
His affiliation with the Catholic Church, Occult and FreeMansory would later make him a man of high gambles, the enough to be feared by Franco during the Second World War.
All, in the meantime, playing two sided with the Germans, who he provided ore and other minerals behind Britain's back. Just before two weeks the soviet union would reached Berlin and Hitler's defeat was iminent, that he declared him part of the allies, thus whitewashing any so Ideological, Eugenical driven research he so had with the Gestapo and SS, including fostering many German Officials.
