>After placing the Portuguese vanguard in position, defending the shore from the Castilians, Nuno Álvares Pereira again crossed the river to reach his rearguard, which was under a rain of arrows launched from the Castilian side. The Constable of Portugal noticing that the Castilians had used all of their projectiles, ordered an attack.
>Nuno Álvares Pereira himself, seeing the banner of the Grand Master of Santiago, fought his way through the Castilian army until encountering him, and after a brief duel, the Grand Master fell mortally wounded. With his fall and the overthrow of his standard, the Castilian army demoralised and was soon broken and in disorder, and could not stop the Portuguese attack, being quickly and totally defeated.

Do you really think we care about a small village? That's really sad, you tried to conquer Portugal more than 2 times, and the only thing you conquered was a village, and yet you are proud of it!
Also, we have supeior complex, since you know, we took down 20k of you with only 3k :^)
>>61787942
They were legitimately our allies back then you mong.
They're still the reason we're not speaking Spanish today even though they took a lot of money for this help.
They started as legit allies but then gradually degenerated into mercenaries we could give a call to help.

>>61788058
No, because we have the money to pay them.
Also that doesn't make sense, if we were irrelevant we would have never been worthy of the English coming in the first place.
Keep getting assblasted about the fact that one of the major reasons for Spain being seen as the joke of W. Europe after Tercios was you trying and failing to conquer Portugal more than once. >>61787445

European swords vs katanas.
>>61788240
Katanas weren't used in battle if it could be avoided, they were mostly ceremonial swords.
>>61788117
Pretty sure that Portugal is the joke of W. europe though. I mean, you have to go back 500 years to even be relevant.
In the end, you're just West Spain but w/e make you sleep at night la
>>61788240
>>61788288
Yeah, despite the weaboos, katanas aren't worth shit. They only make them in that complicated way because their iron sucks. European broadswords wreck those little shits with no effort.

Never has a Spaniard done anything good that wasn't copied by the Portuguese before. Shit, you couldn't even have had your empire if it weren't for Portuguese ships.
>>61788328
The only thing that can beat Portuguese is more Portuguese. And the first ones have to be commanded by the French. Good job, Spain. Grow a fucking pair, for once.

It's amazing how no one discusses this.
It was the incorporation of Portuguese ships and Admiral expertise into their naval forces that first allowed them not to make complete fools of themselves at sea.
I believe half of the ships in the """""invincible""""" armada were portuguese. Too bad they were commanded by a spic

>>61788518
aye
>>61788540
that fucking disgusting central Europe
>>61788499
The ultimatum is Portuguese propaganda.
They were actually right when they said Portugal already got way more of African territory than what we could ever hope to develop, the reason for this was that every country but us at the Berlin Conference hated the Brits so they gave us masses of land that up until 1974 were mostly undeveloped.
>>61788540

This thread is dumb. Every country has had some sort of victory against impossible odds at some point in their history.
>>61789473
We had tonnes, though. I honestly don't think there's a lot of countries with a better Win/Loss Ratio than us, and we almost never had numeric superiority.
>>61789533
I'll go ahead and calculate our win rate
>>61789922
youll never be able to find all the battles, though.
We certainly haven't been conquered once since we've been Portugal. That's why we have the oldest borders in the world. We survived Napoleon and the Spaniards multiple times.

>Montfort divided his army into three squadrons, and then led them across the Garonne to meet the Aragonese forces. Peter's ally and brother-in-law, Count Raymond, advised a defensive posture in order to weaken the advancing enemy with bowshot and javelins. Peter rejected this suggestion as unknightly and dishonorable. King Peter rode to the front line, forsaking his royal armour for the plain armour of a common soldier. His army was disorderly and confused. When Montfort's first squadron charged the field, the Aragonese cavalry was crushed and Peter himself was unhorsed. He cried out, "I am the king!" but was killed regardless. With the realization that their king had been killed, the Aragonese forces broke in panic and fled, pursued by Montfort's Crusaders.
AHAHAHAHAH!!
>>61786776
>>61790172
In 102 battles and operations
We only lost 18.
Which gives a win rate of 82.35%
Source: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_batalhas_de_Portugal
Offcourse that probably doesn't have all the battles we fought.
>>61790053
No. For starters, we share more with Rome than with Lusitanians, genetically and culturally. They were different people that occupied the same territory. If you're going to count Portuguese battles, you should only count the ones that involved Portugal as a state. In other words, starting from its independence onward.
>>61790605
Yes, of course.
