  • This video looks a the history of Portugal. From its first inhabitants to the premiership of Antonio Costa. It looks at how and why Portugal became one of the earliest European superpowers, why it had a long decline and why it fell into instability and then a dictatorship in the 20th century. It then looks at its transition to democracy in the 1970s and its consequences.

    Portugal was created by celts! Celts have been living in the far corner of South Western Europe for thousands of years but we have only existed as a nation since 1143.

      That's a bit of a generalization, Celtic culture has a huge impact in Portugal's roots, but it goes way back before that, even. Lisbon, for example, is older than Rome, it wasn't called Portugal back then, or course.
      Eventually, for nearly 700 years it was mostly occupied by Muslims and eventually taken over by the Christians.
      It's a large complicated history.

      Portugal wasn't founded by the celts it was founded by the romans in fact the portuguese aren't indo-european/celts they are early european farmers an group who arrived to the iberian peninsula from turkey or the caucasus thousands of years before the celts, they do have a minor indo-european ancestry doe to the indo-european (although they problay weren't related to the celts, but to the lusitanians since the celts only arrived 500 bc and were a minority) migration and western hunter gatherer who also arrived before the farmers but they no longer exist

      The level of ignorance in these comments is staggering... Portugal is found by the Romans? Celts? Ffs... go learn history both of you. Those are cultures or/and empires that settled or conquered the region and left their influence, many different cultures left their mark, the phoenicians were in today Lisbon way before Romans, and before that back to thousands of years.

      honestly, I don't know and I'm not sure if the experts know. I read all kinds of reasons (their policies, their record, the opposition policies etc.). It was not clear to me that there was a clear reason so I didn't include it. But what is true is that it was definitely a surprise.

    •  2 года назад +4

      I'll just say though, that the fact that a group in the armed forces stood up to a dictatorship with the specific goal of decolonizing and then getting massive (unexpected) public support really should be talked about more.

    Hi. Nice video. I noticed you've changed your accent from Castillian to Portuguese and started pronouncing words and names quite correctly in the middle of the video. Still, as Aljubarrota is in central Portugal you could have used the proper accent: It is spelled with a "J" sound, not an "R" sound. Ironic, considering it was a major Portuguese victory.

    •  10 месяцев назад +2

      I appreciate the comment.
      I pronounced it that way because I was using Brazilian Portuguese to say it. I forgot the rrr’s in European portuguese are basically the same as Castilian Spanish.

    The muslims did not dominate over the Iberian peninsula for 7 centuries, as the video says. Only around Granada did this domination last that long. So that cultural imprint is not as deep as the video says. The christians were a different culture, a different civilization. Al Anadalus disappeared, 85 to 90 % of the population was replaced. As the reconquered lands were emptied, they were populated by immigrants from the north, who broutgh their own culture.

    •  Год назад +2

      The video does not say that the Muslims dominated the entire Iberian peninsula for 7 centuries. What it actually says is:
      "The territory controlled by the Muslims would be under Islamic rule for slightly over seven centuries first as part of the caliphate of Damascus, and later in 756 as an independent kingdom with its capital in Córdoba, Spain."
      As to the deep imprint in culture. There are hundreds of words in Spanish and Portuguese that have roots in Arabic, then there's the use of arabic numbers and algebra which became universal, the spanish guitar, cotton manufacturing, the use of azulejo tiles, and countless other things. Muslims were expulsed yes, but the sustained interaction with christians for centuries meant that their ideas and technology did not just disappear because the people left.

I have nothing to criticize about the information provided, just asking if the narrator is Portuguese because he speaks the names of Portuguese people and with a strange accent he says hinriqui instead of Henrique... and I don't understand why! If you are not of Portuguese nationality, I understand and I take back what I said, immediately regretting it and asking for forgiveness for the inconvenience caused.

    Don't tell anyone. Antonio Salazar was secretly a Grand Master of the Ancient Order of the Holy Sardine in Coimbra.
    Rumours of an underground temple, built by Portuguese Templars, beneath the thousand year old Sé Velha where rituals of sorcery and alchemy were said to have taken place.
    The ancient Roman city of Conimbriga near by was destroyed by Germanic tribes for its ties to the magic cult of the suastica, proof of which is visible today in the well preserved mosaics of the Casa das Suasitcas.
    Other myths claim that Salazar and Fernando Pessoa, poet and well known occultist, would travel to Conimbriga and conjure Viriatus and other Lusitanian spirits under the full moon, dressed in black robes, the kind that would become the inspiration for a well known school of magic in popular children's books.
    In Portugal 🇵🇹, myths, secrets and lies are bigger than the monster waves of Nazaré.

      English is the preferred language to use, almost everybody knows it and will speak it with ease (you may even be able to get by with French in some places), we all more or less understand and can speak Spanish, however if you do decide to use Spanish you'll be met with the occasional eye-roll as we will perceive this as 'tourist ignorance' of somebody who did not bother to learn the place they intended to visit. Portugal and Spain share a deep rich heritage and ties but ultimately we have different language and costumes that not many people know of. Think of it as someone mistaking Mexico for Argentina or even Spain.
      Hope this clarifies it, hope you enjoyed your trip to Lisboa.
