- This video takes a look at the Portuguese empire from explorers like Henry the navigator and Vasco Da Gama to territorial expansion. For the sake of simplicity and time i refereed the early Spanish kingdoms of Castile and Aragon to Spain.

Technically the Portuguese empire ended in 1999 because Timor and macau in China were “Portuguese cities”.
Timor was invaded in 1975 by Indonesia so it wasn’t Portuguese city by then
nao era timor mas sim macau

portugueesers were the most destructive colonialists of death the planet ever saw💀
Impressive that a country that was barely established in 1128 was one of the major powers - with colonies all over the world - just 400 years later.
Flash Point History 1128 was pretty early for centralised power in Europe, that’s why they did it so well and early... They centralised and also united when fighting the moors
Diplomacy was what won the day, The thing is without Moorish aggression Spain(formerly known as the kingdom of leon) and portugual woulda ripped each other apart, depending on what Aragon did, Spain being the European superpower of the day probably would have won, but that's not how it went down. They put aside their differences and enacted the Reconquista(god bless them all) against Moorish aggression, which lasted centuries. Of course that's not to say the Christian Iberian's haven't had their few skirmishes, few and far between compared to the cooperation against the moors though if you ask me.
Let's not even get started with the long standing alliance with Britain too, just think how invaluable that must have been when they both colonized the new world.,
Because as for the Old World the British took the lion's share. So dumb the Portuguese that they paid for the Molucas to Charles V when it was already in their side of the line. So dumb was the King Manuel I of Portugal that stripped Magellan of its Portuguese nationality, and forced him to seek refuge in Spain!
Spain wasn't really unified until 1492 and then Colombus discovered the New World that same year.
Henrique was not an explorer. He was an Infante (different form Infant but related). He was one of the sons of the King and he lived in Sagres where he was responsible for the explorations, not the one who actually was on the sea. He was a scholar, we might say.
But the rest was awesome. Finally a video about the Portuguese Empire. Thanks!
hmmmm Sagres, whos buying the first round ?
Small correction, he lived at Viseu, or. more frequently as Master of the Order of Christ, at Tomar.
Infante Henriques was the xv century Hitler.he was the criminal who made legal the slavery and selling of the africans.he was a monster,nothing else.
Slavery and indentured servitude have existed existed for centuries before the Portuguese got involved and it was the Africans themselves who were selling the slaves in the first place, as most of them were captured war prisoners from rival tribes.
Three brief notes on an outstanding video:
- Portugal was under Spanish ruling for 60 years (1580-1640) not 80;
- In 1640 Portugal elected John IV as king, not John VI;
- Brazil became independent in 1822, not 1882.
Obrigado and keep up the excellent work!
Está tudo muito bom nesse comentário menos o facto de teres chamado o rei de john e não joão
E não se elege um rei 😒
1. Os nomes dos monarcas são passíveis de tradução; nós falamos de Reis como Isabel II e Luís XIV, e não de Elizabeth II ou Louis XIV. Como o filme é inglês não me pareceu despropositado nem da parte do seu realizador mencionar assim um Rei de Portugal nem a minha resposta.
2. "Elected" em inglês tanto pode significar "eleito" como "escolhido"...
😸
Mais duas notas:
1- Existiram e existem Monarquias Electivas
2- Há um exemplo de reis eleitos em Portugal, D. João I na sequencia do Argumento de João das Regras que não havia qualquer herdeiro legitimo ao trono de Portugal em 1383.
Portugal was the first European state to capture territories in Africa and Asia and the last to leave. It left a substantial cultural footprint on many of those territories.
portugeezers raped, pilaged, destroyed and subverted their entire colonies in Africa - 5th world divided messes left today 🤣
not true. The Portuguese invaded, stole, raped and pillaged the African continent and they were thrown out commencing in 1974 after their brutal atrocities began to be uncovered by The Vatican and the Western Press.

The Portuguese are mistaken that they were the first navigators, because they reached Ceuta in Africa, in 1415, and Spain to America in 1492. They do not know that the Spanish conquered Sicily in 1282, Athens 1311, base of Djerba, Tunisia, Africa in 1380, the Canary Islands in 1404. Even invasions of southern England in 1377, 1380-81 and 1411. The Spanish sailed successfully before, and reached Africa first. Spain arrived first in America, in 1492. Even in Brazil, in 1500. That year of 1492, Spain is on 3 continents, and Portugal on 2 (but without European territories). Until almost 1500, the Portuguese had only explored the west African coast, Ceuta 1415, Madeira and the Azores after 1427.
The only time when Portugal overtakes Spain in exploration is in 1498, when it reached India, or rather Brazil after 1500 (then the Portuguese are on 4 continents. Spain on 3). During the period 1500-1520, Spain annexed the Netherlands and Franco-Condado in France in 1516 and the Spanish king became emperor of Germany in 1519, in addition to winning three wars against France in Italy (half of Italy is Spanish). The Portuguese created many colonies in Africa and Asia: Arabia, Iran, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Macau...
But the world has 5 continents or 6. Spain is the first country to reach the Pacific Ocean and explore it. The Pacific Ocean is half of the earth. GLOBAL. Discoveries Guam and the Philippines. So Spain is on 5 continents. The Portuguese always say: but Spain had no territories in Asia, only the Philippines. Spain was in Taiwan, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, China, Japan, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Kiribati, Taiti, Carolinas... Spanish map of Hawaii (16th century) and Spanish helmet in New Zealand (16th century). Spain discovered the geographical area of Antarctica in 1603. But there are previous stories about that cold region, in the archives of the 16th century.
It is a parallel exploration of the two Iberian countries. The first world empire is the empire of Philip II of Spain, which conquered Portugal in 1580, integrating all the colonies and possessions of the two countries into a single empire, with lands in more than 100 countries on the 5 continents and all the seas. , simultaneously. Philip II was even king of England and Ireland.
The Portuguese were highly impressive. Had a few high school colleagues of Portuguese descent and now I know why they are so proud. Thanks for discovering the world, Portugal ;)

Eu não tenho tanto orgulho de falar português mas fala sério ainda bem mesmo que não falamos espanhol
Os brasileiros são os descendentes dos portugueses que colonizaram/povoaram o Brasil e nao os portugueses que vivem em Portugal. Não me canso de explicar isto aos brasileiros. OS actuais portugueses são descendentes daqueles que não saíram de Portugal. Vocês são os descendentes os Portugueses que construiriam o Brasil. É difícil perceber...Bem haja ao povo brasileiro
J Kapello tens razão, no entanto, há um ponto no passado onde os primeiros povoadores do Brasil eram portugueses de Portugal!
Mais digo, a povoação do Brasil foi contínua, não foi somente uma leva de colonos. O que significa que é normal os brasileiros terem descendência portuguesa do séc. XVI até ao sex XIX.
J Kapello no meu caso eu sou descendente de Portugueses mesmo, de imigrante Portugueses, meu tataravô nasceu em Portugal e lutou na primeira guerra mundial, com o termino ele trouxe toda a familia para cá (Grande erro) , tenho Orgulho por ter sangue Português, e honro meus antepassado.

This glorious empire costed millions of lives
kevin da silva gonçalves those lives were the price for the spreading of civilization in places where tribal rullings were still in place. + it was the kickstarter of high see tecnology and all the trade that improved not only confort but also medicine saving millions of lifes.
Also, the colonial territories, after the bloody conquests, enjoyed long terms of peace and poppulation growth like never before.
In short, you can't make an omelett without breaking eggs.
STroB That's a good point of view, but doesn't apply to 5 million africans enslaved and the 300 years of slavery in Brazil. Do you think it justifies all that tragedy?? What a insensible mind. The past is the past, what is needed from today's people is respect.
It doesn't justify slavery, nothing does.
I'm just saying we shouldn't look at history from just one point of view.
We should learn with the bad, be glad with the good and acept it as it is.
Civilization took time to evolve, it took time to learn and understand the humanity it self, it made lots of mistakes, as a child does when learning to walk.
From the point of view of many people at the time, it was better to be a well treated slave (most hause slaves were) then a wildling having fights with the neighbour tribe. YES, it's a very flawed point of view, but it was what it was availabe to a civilization that young.
What I'm saying is, we should all stop hating the past. It wont change anyway. Accept it as it is.

Portugal is the first and longest-lived GLOBAL Empire (spanning all continents). The Portuguese have discovered 2/3 of the world we all live in these days. Portugese was the very first lingua franca this worls has known. All Europeans used Portuguese to trade with people on other continents.

All Europeans used the Portuguese, especially the British, that duped Portugal into a vassal state.
@@joselugo4536 Lmao Portugal was never vassal of England.
In the words of a British Ambassador to portugalize means bring a country under preponderance guidance from London, that defines Portugal!

Yeah, Henry was not sponsored to be an explorer... He was indeed a Son of the King, and it was HE who did much of the Sponsoring of his time=P
Ho ok
Fun fact (not so funny in it's time xD):
In 1890, the British Empire issued an ultimatum for Portugal to retreat from the newly colognised region between Angola and Mozambique (Portuguese colonies), a region now comprised of Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi, with the obvious threat of military retaliation if Portugal didn't comply.
The king at the time, agreed to the demands.
As a public response, an inspirational call-to-arms, the original version of the current national anthem was created.
(translated, obviously:)
Heroes of the sea, noble people,
Valiant and immortal nation,
Raise once again today,
The splendor of Portugal!
Among the haze of memory,
Oh Fatherland, one feels the voice
Of your distinguished forefathers,
That shall lead you to victory!
To arms, to arms!
Over land, over sea,
To arms, to arms!
For the Fatherland, fight!
Against the britons, march on, march on!
....
Except, when the republic took it as the official anthem, "britons" was changed by cannons... It's more diplomatic, I guess. xD

Henry the navigator wasn't an actual explorer/navigator. He was the son of a King, but never explored. He just ran the show.
Viva Portugal! Love from your brothers in Spain, may the sons of Hispania rise to glory again.
Let's just call it Iberia. No offense, but Hispania (the Roman name) sounds a bit.. ya know..
Gum Skyloard what you mean? You outsiders call it Iberia, we call it hispania lol
Actually.. Portugal calls it Iberia.
We don't call it Hispania because.. it sounds WAY too much like Espanha/España/Spain.
I have no brother in Spain!! we have low luck in some moments in our history, and Spain take advantage in this moments.. Spain is a weak nation, they conquer territories with no defenses, a lot of them.. and so Portugal in that bad moments.. because of that, they don´t deserve my respect..
Gum Skyloard that’s a linguistic phenomenon which is too long to explain, but I have heard Portuguese people call it hispania, some
People in Spain call it Iberia too but like it’s interchangeable, it’s an outside word.
But it was called hispania for generations, before the introduction of Iberia.
Telmo Prata, what you mean we attacked when everyone was weak? We conquered the world when everyone looked down at us, but it’s okay, I often find Portuguese people like you, rather being United they want to divide us. I mean if I wanted to be a dickhead, I could really make you shut up. But the glory of Spain, I believe is the glory of hispania, both Portugal and Spain, and that we defended our home together, even when we quarrelled.
Brothers fight within themselves but they are still brothers.
If you still think how you do, well I can’t help you, there’s no need to be jealous of the achievements of spain and believe the lies of others that are equally jealous. There is no need to be jealous, we share the achievements with Portugal and admire your achievements.
Regardless, whether it’s hispania or Iberia, the history is of our people, we are the same people, different culture and language but by blood we are the same.
And I prefer to call it hispania, if you want to call it Iberia, up to you, we are brothers regardless.
Dejima in Japan, was too, an Portuguese trading post
Bad Destiny the dutch stole that too XD
Tanegashima was also a portuguese trading port in Southern Japan. And the Dutch didnt took it
Portugal discovered two thirds of the world!
Mooncake - alright sir does it matter? He was just pointing out that Portugal owned that post, no need for an orangy guy to point out that the Dutch took it
Actually Dejima was an artificial island built to house the Dutch after the express removal of the Portuguese from Japan.🏝😂🤣
Other cool topics for Portugal: The Napoleonic Wars, WW1, post 1975-2018, The Reconquista, King Dinis, Afonso de Albuquerque, Fernão de Magalhães, Vasco da Gama, Pedro Álvares Cabral, Luís de Camões, Fernando Pessoa 😁. These last 2 were poets.
Dom Francisco de Almeida last stand in South Africa could be a bloody topic.
I'm well studied in British India. The Portuguese were over 100 years ahead of English, Dutch, & French in India & Indian Ocean. It seems Portuguese intolerance of Hinduism & Islam limited them in India. Militarily, the Portuguese had tactical superiority like British.

Actually Brazil and Portugal formed the United Kingdom of Portugal and Brazil in 1808 , when Napoleon invaded Hiberian peninsula and the royal portuguese family moved to Rio de Janeiro where the capital of the Empire was established. In 1815 king D.John VI was crowned in Rio de Janeiro . So the Monarchy kept Brazil united before and after independence when our first Emperor , D Pedro I was crowned.

Good job, one note: Another reason they opted not to trade over land is because it was so much more expensive.
Some sources put the ratio at 10:1 or 15:1. Since it cost 15x more to go over land, it made economic sense to take a detour of 5x the normal distance.

Rui Azevedo muito obrigado pela a clarificação, admito que não sabia.
There are some inaccuracies in this video: the main motivation for exploration in the early 15th century was to dominate the lucrative spice trade not so much gold and slavery. Gold was discovered later and the slave trade only kicked off in the late 16th century. The 1640 restoration was led by John IV, not John VI which is the one shown in the video. Brazil became independent in 1822 not 1882.
Honest question, why do you translate their names? What's the logic behind that?
Press "F" to pay respect for the greatest explorer (and fighter) of all time, his name Vasco da Gama !

Neon Dawn it wasnt
@Neon Dawn Alright, get this straight: When someone says " the x empire discovered the x land", they really did...for the western world, it already existed and was populated but europeans had no information about its existance, so when they first find those places they really do discover them...for europe
California was discovered by a Portuguese - João Rodrigues. It's easier to ask what is that the Portuguese didn't discover. Impressive!

brazil declared independence in 1822*
Wollver thanks I had it down on paper messed up when recording
peter I wasn't the portuguese king yet. his father was. and there was an independence war which we won. then after the cisplatine war, he abdicated and fled to portugal to fight against his own brother (michel I) for the portuguese crown.
Dahmer, "he abdicated and fled to portugal to fight against his own brother (michel I) for the portuguese crown"
Just a small misconception, it wasn't only a fight for the Portuguese crown, it was a civil war between absolutism and liberalism.
Wollver, And Peter I of brazil (and he was peter IV of portugal and algarves) he was the king of brazil but he also became the king of portugal after 1822, In 1826 between March and May he was the king of portugal, so we can't say that Brazil was totally independent... we had the same king ruling both reigns once
Anúbis Brazil declared independence in 1822 and had to fight until 1825 to have his independence accepted.
well, sweet techno, peter I turned into peter IV of portugal after 1826, but abdicated his portuguese throne. and we didn't have a king after he invaded portugal, there was a regency 'till peter II was recognized as our new emperor. we were independent.
Henry the Navigator was part English -Portugal is Britain's oldest ally and intermarriage between their royal families were common -Catherine of Braganza, wife of Charles II of England, was Portuguese and she brought the Indian area of Bombay(Mumbai) as part of her dowry.
A very good analises!
England's longest and oldest ally
ASINUS ASINUM FRICAT
With allies like Britain who needs enemies. Remember the ultimatum of 1890 《contra os BRETÕES marchar.》
Y entre tu aliado, la pérfida Albión y Holanda (los pordioseros del mar) te desvalijaron el monopolio comercial en Asia. Hasta regalaron Bombay como dote y para colmo los ingleses exigieron todos los islotes y la comarca entera, los británicos mordieron hasta el codo de los portugueses.
Lord haw-haw, I don't know who is your Fernando II in 1589 but 70% of the Anglo-Dutch Armada was destroyed by Spain. John Hawkins was shot dead in front of the Fort of San Juan de Puerto Rico and Francis Drake died offshore of Panamá probably heart-sick of missing his lover. Sir Walter Raleigh was executed for piracy on Spanish property, and trespassing on land belonging to the Spanish Empire, that satisfied very much Spanish public opinion at the time.
Lord of the Flies, last chance for hegemony of Portugal over Spain was with Joanna of Castile, and remember Portugal LOST.

@@javierslytherin9898 shut up, you jealous moron. Columbus was Portuguese and the entire world knows the Portuguese are the best explorers of all time. There was no Spain back then and the losing Castile lived off Portugal's genius.
off course not, Magellan, Vasco da Gama, Pedro Alvares Cabral, Bartolomeu Dias where much, much better than any Spanish navigator..
@@javierslytherin9898 c'mon, the Portuguese were the nasa of those times, they were the first to reach the indian ocean by sea, the first to reach china and japan, they knew america long after the colombus voyage, even colombo got his navigation skills learning with the portuguese. There's no comparison, the portuguese dominated the indian ocean for more than 100 years fighting the muslins not stone age indians. The portuguese ship were the fatest ships if those times. The spanish were good land explorers but the sea was portuguese
Javier Navarro Fornês, ahah not even in your wildest dreams. The first circumnavigation of the world was made by the Portuguese Fernão de Magalhães (the Basque Elcano just followed orders after Magalhães died and btw used the routes discovered by Portugal), the Pacific Ocean was also named after Portugal. America was also discovered by Portugal (João Vaz Corte-Real), Columbus was Portuguese, as proved by scientific investigation (read Manuel Rosa, biggest expert on Columbus and teacher in the US). Spain didn't even exist at that time. You can ask everyone everywhere about the greatest explorers of all time...the answer will always be the Portuguese.
Javier Navarro Fornés The 1st circumnavigation was lead by a Portuguese sailor that we all know, Magellan. Spanish finished it because Magellan was killed, they learned with Magellean all the skills. The Spanish did not discovered America. The vikings were there long before and the Portuguese discoverd 1st the Canada, Newfounfland, several years before the Spanish reach America. The Portuguese knew America before the Spanish thats why the line dividing the world between Portugal and Spain, the Treaty of Tordesillas, passes right next to Brasil. Portuguese didn´t care about America at that time, the objective was the spice world, India. Columbus was a joke because we was trying to reach India folowing the wrong path, lol. Has i said Portuguese were the Nasa of those times and were the 1st to start the age of discoveries, not Spain. The spanish were so bad at sea that they didn´t managed to win England despite of the advantage in the munber of ships with the invencible armada. Guess who survived with the least damaged ships, the Portuguese....Things would be diferent if Portugueses were leading the armada...
It's really funny how you pronounce some king's names xD

Just found your channel I'm already in love can you make a video about the empire of Netherland
Nem bons ventos, nem boms casamentos, greetings from a portuguese born in germany. Good luck Spain with the "unity" of your country.
people nowadays often see Portugal as some sort of irrelevant second grade post empire country but they forget that Portugal was such a small nation we had 4 times less the man power of Spain to give you an example, our population at that time was approximately the same of Sweden and Norway combined together (around 1 million) but instead of turning into mere coastal city raiders (the vikings) we we able to do so much more and spread our civilization to every continent in the world making our language one of the most spoken in the world, and our footprint will always be in human history books. So if you ask me if I'm proud to be portuguese, yeah I'm pretty proud of the accomplishment my ancestors did in the past but I'm not very proud about how the current state of my country is in the present
what type of sail rig did the Portuguese invent specifically, cause in the drawing it looks like a lateen rig which is pre-roman. If anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated thanks.
the portuguese DIDNT invent new technologies ... being located in the neeting point o mediterranean (greek) and northern atlantic (celtic) cultures it was basicaly the only place with sufficient infirmation to go to the next level
people also neglect the fact that there was a very important thing in portugal/castllla ... the first universities were located here (and in northern italy)
the combination of very diferent sails and shipbuilding techbiques in the same construction created the "caravela" ... navigation knowledge (also from everiwhere) did the rest! :)
@@sotabaka i did look it up. While the lateen rig had been around since roman times the carvel was probably one of the first to have multiple sails. This combined with a different hull shape allowed it to be more manoeuverable than Lateen rigs usually are. If you want the specifics that is. Thanks though
Fantástico 👏
Hey man. It was King John IV that restored the Portuguese independece in 1640. John VI was the one that established the portuguese court at Brazil to escape the Napoleonic invasions
Rogério Cruz you failed to 1640
But i know your intention was to write 1640
Sim, enganei-me. Já editei
Não sei porquê, mas acho que o Tratado de Tordesilhas nunca foi retirado...
Claro que não, por isso o mundo ainda é nosso
Por acaso até foi, não me lembro muito bem mas acho que foi entre 1700 e 1800 com as novas politicas colonialistas de inglaterra
Nice video. Just a few things: Brazil became an officially independent state (as a Monarchy) in 1822 under Emperor Peter I (King John VI’s son), yes. But in 1808, King John VI of Portugal fled Portugal due to the napoleonic wars, and Rio de Janeiro became the capital of what would become known as the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. So, technically Portugal was the first and only european empire ever to have its capital not only outside of its territory, but inside its biggest colony, which in turn, made Brazil officially not a colony anymore. When John VI was called back to Portugal after Napoleon was defeated, Brazil was supposed to be downgraded back to the status of colony, which was one of the biggest kick starters for our independence.
portugueesers were the most destructive colonialists of death the planet ever saw💀
This is a great video and almost everything is true to our history! With is a remarkable achievement, since few people now just how important we, Portuguese, were and are.

Nice video but why did you use the Vichy french flag instead of the actual one ?
Thanks for the video. Just subscribed to the channel because of this.
Portugal was really something else,from a kid(Don Afonso Henriques, portuguese first king) having a scrap with his mom to this 😂🤠
Not one of the first, but THE FIRST.
now its the time of dreaming about bigger things.... we made it in the past and we can make it once again but now it will be about the space exploration
AHAHAHAHAHA e Onde está o dinheiro para isso? Tens nem a TAP conseguimos ter quanto mais exploração espacial
Portugal já descobriu mais de metade do mundo, já deu tanto ao mundo. Há que ter noção disso e apostar no país.
Actually Portugal need a lot of investments as parents in Portugal have to work multiple jobs to get even, a lot of families are forced to live in shacks.
@@joselugo4536 ...What?
Quid est?
possibly their greatest achievement early on was capturing Ottoman allies in Indian ocean Arabian gulf, firstly they checked the Ottoman and killed their Eastern expansion, Ottoman caliph had close ties to Muslim Indonesia and E Africa!. If Portugal still held these territories in Arabia they would probably hold like 20% of world oil. Without Portugal, I don't know if Europeans could have easily colonized Indian ocean region as Portugal pretty much did all the hard work. Great video!!!!
Rock Shock they couldnt conquer east africa and had a hard time with turk soo..
@@mri127 whaaattt? Portugal did conquer East Africa and discovered most of the world, having made the first Globalization.
If Cristóbal de Gama was as successful as Pizarro by conquering a mountainous civilization, and perhaps, Portugal kept control of the Red Sea, it would have dealt a deathly blow to the Islamic troublemakers.
Not many even know Portugal exists, they just think it is Spain or that it belongs to spain, but I am quite impressed about this video. Very good, We deserve to be known. Força Portugal
Viva Portugal!
How could you forgert about United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and Algarves in 1815?
Henry never left Portugal but he was one of the driving forces behind the Portuguese Descobrimentos.

As a portuguese myself I "approve" this video (even knowing that the empire just actually ended in 1975 with the April revolution, were a decolonization program was initiated, and you should also had covered the colonial war that ended in 1974 (the year of the revolution) that liberated all of the African colonies), but overall I'm really glad that someone did a actually good video of Portugal.
I really like your content, keep working on that.
Actually, it was in 1999, with the devolution of Macau to China.
yeap definitely 1999

He ended in 1999, when Macau is ceded to China

Nice informative video about the Past Colonial links of Portugal all over the world. Found your video interesting as GOA in South of India was a Portuguese Colony for more than 400 plus years.

You covered Brazil with pine trees !!! Aaaaarrrrghhh !!
(A minor mistake on a great video. Thank you)
It is not a mistake at all. Early Portuguese maps of Brazil show a lot of Araucaria trees that were probably chopped down to build ships and houses due to it's wood quality. The Coconut trees , Mango trees , Sugar cane , a lot of wood trees , Coffee trees , Acacia trees , etc were all introduced in Brazil by the Portuguese , not to mention species that had no commercial value but the seeds were , accidentally , aboard the ships. Brazil flora and fauna like in the rest of the world were very different at those days. Before the Portuguese and Spanish arrival the Indians had never seen a Coconut or a Mango and Europeans had never seen a Tomato or a Potato.
not pine. eucaliptos lol.
One of the first empires? No. One of the first colonial empires? Yes.
The first and longest-lived global empire.
And lucrative by the wealth generated from slave labor. As late as 1947 in Angola; "only the dead are really exempt from forced labor."
Spain was the first Global Empire, Portugal followed Spain's steps afterward😘
John VI was a later king, in the XIX century. John VI moved the royal house to Brasil, propitiating the split of the royal house into the Brazilian and European branches. The 1st king of thr Bragança dinasty was John IV, duke of Bragança and patrilinear heir of the 1st king of Avis dinasty and the 1st king of the Borgonha dinasty. About the dutch, it was the Brazilian proto-army that defeated them in Brasil and Africa. The Portuguese like to omit this fact. Congratulations for your video, it s really good.
Great breakdown, although I would have liked to see you linked some sources for further reading
Portugal apenas partilhava o rei com espanha ... nunca foi dependente de Espanha. Os portugueses queriam o seu Rei a viver em Lisboa e escreviam cartas aos responsaveis espanhois enviando lhes dinheiro para pagamento da viagem de Filipe a Lisboa. Mas os filipes nunca mostraram interesse em residir em Portugal.
Essa história de união Ibérica é tudo inventado pelos historiadores espanhóis do século XIX, nunca houve nenhuma união Ibérica . Simplesmente o Filipe II herdou a coroa de Portugal, por ser neto de Manuel I. Um Rei com três coroas.
I'm a simple man, i see Portugal, i go CARALHOOOO!
i see 🇵🇹 🏳🌈 (‿|‿) and i ❤ CARALHOOOO!
Thanks for the video. One mistake, however. The portuguese king during restoration - 1640 - was not John VI, it was John IV. Cheers.
That was the first chapter of Portugal's comonization... The second chapter started in mid 1900, when portuguese people started the migration into the main europeen countries like France , England , Germany and others.
This second phase is a silent take over ... where wherever you go, there is portuguese people.
Me personaly i live in Paris, France and the whole street is owned by portuguese people.
It is a different way of take over ... but as we get to strategic places in the industrie , we start getting the control back.
