The classic alliance that gets broken in 99,9% of portuguese games in day 1, and instead favoring the french, due to british AI being unable to land any troops in the mainlaind despite having the strongest navy in the game. Just like real life..

@@irgendwer3610 it's because it's not a singular issue, AI in general is incredibly complex, and although i'm sure their programmers could solve the issue, the main reason why there are always going to be failings in the AI is that people with normal computers need to be capable of running it. this is basically true of any game, but more so of a complex game like EU4, it's actually pretty impressive how competent the EU4 AI is compared to most other video game AIs

@@bn56would I have to be honest with you, I'm a Portuguese that had to move to Switzerland and learn French from the scratch and the fact is there's very little pronunciation that the Portuguese and the French language share. That's probably the hardest challenge for a Portuguese to learn french: the pronunciation.
The Germans call us Tommies, We always call him Fritz, We call the Frenchman Froggy, Which sends him into fits, But our very oldest allies, You know who that means, Must never be referred to as, The good old Pork and Beans!
We, the portuguese, we are very proud to have this oldest Alliance in the World with England and we still take it seriously till today. England also takes it seriously and this is good for both parts. We consider English as our cousins. (our brothers are the ex-colonies such as Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, etc). Still, we are family connected through history! :)
British friends we will forever be Alliance since 1373 They named a borough after me We even taught them to drink tea Queens NY was named in honor of the Queen of Portugal at the time
Queens wasn't named after the "Queen of Portugal", it was named after former Portuguese princess Catherine of Braganza who was Queen of England after marrying King Charles II, as already noted in the video.
I was playing a hoi4 game and Britain declared war on the US then later Portugal declared war as well and the US said "wait why am i at war with Portugal" and without missing a beat Britain said "i enacted the treaty of 1147" we all laughed
Portugal: Gives England tea and makes the tradition through the Portuguese queen The world: England nice tradition you got there England: that was no..... America: YOUR TEA GO IN OCEAN NOW! England: but I didn’t America: idepedence noob

France:What the hell?! He used to be your colony! Portugal:Now you now how I feel Japan:Yo
the last one is kind of true but only in the government, not the general population. the ww1 one is false because britain and france still had much tension despite being formal allies, and the first one is just wrong, the uk and japan's "friendship" was in reality strenuous at best.
As a pro-UK Brazilian-American man, I am delighted with the long lasting alliance of my Portuguese ancestors with England (and currently with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). Cheers!
@@SpanishDio why do you think Spanish people hates English people. Maybe that is your prejudice, I would say it is the other way around, even if they enjoy Spain, I can see despicable attitudes. Spanish people are mostly fine with tourism. Happy new year
I think you should have mentioned that at the start of WWII, Salazar and Churchill agreed that Portugal should remain neutral. By so doing, Germany had no reason to invade Madeira or the Azores, and thereby denying Germany access to a strategic base in the Atlantic. Portugal continued to trade with Germany so as not to provoke Germany. As you stated, Portugal's neutrality guaranteed Spain's neutrality. At the end of WWI, Churchill praised Portugal's role of neutrality declaring it a significant factor in the allies being able to win the war.
A couple of points: During the Napoleonic Wars the British did have a major military base in Portugal, but it was used for more than defending Portugal. It was the base from which the Anglo-Portuguese Army pushed the French out of Spain (with Spanish help), and then invaded France over the Pyrenees. Although Portugal offered to enter WWII on the side of the British, it was London considered it more advantageous politically to have Portugal as a friendly neutral. However, the British decided to invoke the treaty in 1942 by requesting airbases on the Azores, which Portugal agreed to (Fascist Spain was no longer considered a threat). When Churchill announced this in Parliament and the treaty under which the request was made, there were gasps in the House. In a dangerous world, it is good to know who your friends really are.
In the war against Napoleon on the peninsula, most of the British victories were in Portugal. It is amazing how Britain sent such a small army (35,000-70000 soldiers, half Portuguese). Spain had 400,000 soldiers in arms. Of course the British army was useful there. But at the end of the war the British had had 35,000 dead. Spain half a million dead. (more than all the British killed in WWII). If we look at the fact that Napoleon's army (the best in Europe) had 300,000 soldiers there, it is easy to understand that most of the fighting was between those who had the most deaths: Spain (500000) and France (300000) Britain was not invaded because it was an island. Hitler's army, which reached Russia, would have taken a week to conquer England. The Normandy landing was made because the Russians had 27 million dead on the eastern front, and because the Spanish spy Joan Pujol deceived Hitler about the landing site. Although the allies had great courage in the final victory. The so-called fascist Spain, existed, to stop a Soviet Spain. Franco had accepted the Spanish republic, and loyal. But before the war, thousands of priests, nuns, and peaceful people were murdered, because the Spanish socialists and communists wanted to make a Russian revolution in Western Europe. As is logical Franco did not leave power, because he knew that this would bring another civil war
you forgot about India, when another marriage between Catarina of Bragança and Charles gave british access to India when the Portuguese gave the city of Bombay (Mumbai) to them, and Catarina introduced the tea, marmalade, orange jam, porcelain and cutlery in British lands.
I’m half Portuguese and I was always interested about the history there, My Family moved from Portugal to Hawaii in the mid 1800s, there’s lots of Portuguese in Hawaii! We’re also called Podagee or Pocho in Hawaiian Pidgin, also a joking word to say we’re crazy and talk a lot 😆
I took a DNA test, and I'm 66.7% British and Irish, and 20.6% Portuguese. My mother's father's side of the family are Portuguese and the other 3 sides are British.
I've learned recently that during WW2, Portugal sold wolfram to both Britain and Germany in equal amounts, the difference was that Germany had to pay ahead while Britain paid when they could, the trade of wolfram stoped when Britain was no longer capable to afford the cost.
Nice video! However, there's one thing about the 1386 treaty of Windsor that not a lot of people know about. The military alliance actually went both ways. England sent a contingent of longbowmen to help fight the Spanish at the battle of Aljubarrota, and the Portuguese sent warships to the English which they used to fight the French, since at the time the English did not yet have a proper navy.
That alliance made the Portuguese King John VI move to Rio (because of Napoleon) in 1808. Rio became the capital of the United Kingdom of Brazil, Portugal and Algarves, and that's when Brazilians started to see their land as a country. Interesting how an alliance made so long ago and so far from here shaped my national identity.
There was no such thing as the "United Kingdom of Brazil, Portugal and Algarves". It was the "United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves". And it only lasted 10 years. King John VI was a coward and traitor to Portugal, just like his successor.
do you kwon the reason for calling TEA? Because the portuguese company that send tea for london put in the containers (T)ransporte de (E)rvas (A)romaticas (TEA)
@@melissasilva4493 Perhaps it was the spelling in the Roman alphabet that comes from the acronym, even if the spoken word derives from a Chinese dialect?
@@denmaroca2584 the word in every language that traded with coastal China is some variation of "te", while land trade (and portugal) got "chai" so i think its just a myth the acronym
Transport of aromatic herbs It has nothing to do with the origin of the word... Btw East India Company traded their own tea within the Empire so they didn't need a foreign country.
It was not just the Americans that liberated the west in the final years of WW2, do some research. Britain and Canada landed at Normandy too. ALL THREE did their part through France, Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Oh yes and it was NOT just the Americans vs the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge. The gap was closed by both the British and Americans.
@@jdlc903 that also due to the fact that English settle their enclaves in the South of spain and dont really expose themselves to spaniards because if and when you do you get the "unwelcoming" treatment. Brits dont move to spain because of the spaniards they do because its dirt cheap beach destinations just a couple of hours away from the UK.

I know but British don't have a very good relationship with Spain.
@@leonsanderson1959 We do have a good relationship with Spain. It's not as good as our relationship with the US or Canada but it's not a hostile relationship, we just have bones of contention with each other. By and large the population of the UK does not hate the Spanish.

Greetings to our oldest friends... love from Portugal🇵🇹
You spoke "Avish" with a very Portuguese accent. So authentic! Congratualations!
He is portugese
@@TheMajestic8 Retiro os meu parabéns. kkk
You mean congrajulashions right?
Isn't it more like Avizh rather than Avish?
Touchy Torchy Actually no. We write Avis with an S and he put with a Z to be more easily understandable for British
I am a Portuguese living in England. i feel as proud when im in England as when im in Portugal. All those English couples that retire in Portugal i hope u enjoy it and make it the most of what our ancestors built together. I see u there soon!
Europeans generally get on well with each other. If left to each other only.
The Portuguese even gave us one of the Nations favourite dish fish and chips 😋
Not to mention Port wine
And the tradition of tea!
I never knew that but it makes perfect sense
Ricky Grimshaw Well they have a liking for fish but it was actually a English Jew who invented it.
@@donbarzinitut Yeah you're both correct, it originated in Britain from Jewish immigrants from Spain and Portugal during the 16th Century.
The way he said Aljubarrota shows straight away that he is a fellow Portuguese 🇵🇹
Portuguese pronunciation of certain letters sounds French... Why is that? I thought it'd be more similar to French in that sense.
His English accent alone tells me that. Not only that, it tells me he loved in the UK for a while because he sounds exactly like me 😂
From Lisbon / south as well. He struggles to pronounce the L's. I'd wager Lisbon or the Tejo valley region
@@bn56would I have to be honest with you, I'm a Portuguese that had to move to Switzerland and learn French from the scratch and the fact is there's very little pronunciation that the Portuguese and the French language share. That's probably the hardest challenge for a Portuguese to learn french: the pronunciation.
The Germans call us Tommies,
We always call him Fritz,
We call the Frenchman Froggy,
Which sends him into fits,
But our very oldest allies,
You know who that means,
Must never be referred to as,
The good old Pork and Beans!
"Pork and Beans".. 😅
Damn it. I'm Portuguese and even i find it funny
My cousins in the US always asked this what kind of geese fly south ? Portuguese
"Pork and beans"? Ok... i guess...
Pork and Cheese sounds better, doesn't rhyme though

We, the portuguese, we are very proud to have this oldest Alliance in the World with England and we still take it seriously till today. England also takes it seriously and this is good for both parts. We consider English as our cousins. (our brothers are the ex-colonies such as Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, etc). Still, we are family connected through history! :)
I am English, I am also proud to have friends in Portugal, you have a beautiful country, obrigado
Greetings cousin.

Alliance since 1373
They named a borough after me
We even taught them to drink tea
Queens NY was named in honor of the Queen of Portugal at the time
Wow didn't know that :)
Catarina de Bragança , Quenn of England.
Princesa de Portugal not Quenn.
Queens wasn't named after the "Queen of Portugal", it was named after former Portuguese princess Catherine of Braganza who was Queen of England after marrying King Charles II, as already noted in the video.
She was Queen Of England married to Charles II
Hearing the Portuguese hymn in the background gave me chills... I’m proud of being part of this wonderful country
Portuguese people are cool, I'm English

Stop making things up.
the last one is kind of true but only in the government, not the general population. the ww1 one is false because britain and france still had much tension despite being formal allies, and the first one is just wrong, the uk and japan's "friendship" was in reality strenuous at best.
As a pro-UK Brazilian-American man, I am delighted with the long lasting alliance of my Portuguese ancestors with England (and currently with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). Cheers!
Disgusting.

@@SpanishDio why do you think Spanish people hates English people. Maybe that is your prejudice, I would say it is the other way around, even if they enjoy Spain, I can see despicable attitudes. Spanish people are mostly fine with tourism. Happy new year
I think you should have mentioned that at the start of WWII, Salazar and Churchill agreed that Portugal should remain neutral. By so doing, Germany had no reason to invade Madeira or the Azores, and thereby denying Germany access to a strategic base in the Atlantic. Portugal continued to trade with Germany so as not to provoke Germany. As you stated, Portugal's neutrality guaranteed Spain's neutrality. At the end of WWI, Churchill praised Portugal's role of neutrality declaring it a significant factor in the allies being able to win the war.
Portuguese living in England
I'm hoping it will still be possible to spend time there and even move there.
@@chrisamies2141 I'm sure it will. Where in Portugal would you consider moving to?
@@redking8585 probably Porto, though I'm open to other suggestions!
@@chrisamies2141 Porto sounds great. Good luck if you decide to move.
I don't know if this is true or not, but during WW2 alot of British refugees fled Europe on Portuguese ships becasue of the neutrality
The true History - Portugal and England 6000 people Win Spanish and France 30.000 people - Battle Aljubarrota
Portugal is a fantasic place,
love UK.
A couple of points:
During the Napoleonic Wars the British did have a major military base in Portugal, but it was used for more than defending Portugal. It was the base from which the Anglo-Portuguese Army pushed the French out of Spain (with Spanish help), and then invaded France over the Pyrenees.
Although Portugal offered to enter WWII on the side of the British, it was London considered it more advantageous politically to have Portugal as a friendly neutral. However, the British decided to invoke the treaty in 1942 by requesting airbases on the Azores, which Portugal agreed to (Fascist Spain was no longer considered a threat). When Churchill announced this in Parliament and the treaty under which the request was made, there were gasps in the House.
In a dangerous world, it is good to know who your friends really are.
In the war against Napoleon on the peninsula, most of the British victories were in Portugal. It is amazing how Britain sent such a small army (35,000-70000 soldiers, half Portuguese). Spain had 400,000 soldiers in arms. Of course the British army was useful there. But at the end of the war the British had had 35,000 dead. Spain half a million dead. (more than all the British killed in WWII). If we look at the fact that Napoleon's army (the best in Europe) had 300,000 soldiers there, it is easy to understand that most of the fighting was between those who had the most deaths: Spain (500000) and France (300000)
Britain was not invaded because it was an island. Hitler's army, which reached Russia, would have taken a week to conquer England. The Normandy landing was made because the Russians had 27 million dead on the eastern front, and because the Spanish spy Joan Pujol deceived Hitler about the landing site. Although the allies had great courage in the final victory.
The so-called fascist Spain, existed, to stop a Soviet Spain. Franco had accepted the Spanish republic, and loyal. But before the war, thousands of priests, nuns, and peaceful people were murdered, because the Spanish socialists and communists wanted to make a Russian revolution in Western Europe. As is logical Franco did not leave power, because he knew that this would bring another civil war
To any of my Portuguese bros, if you need any help, to honour this alliance, as a brit, I will be there for you !
you forgot about India, when another marriage between Catarina of Bragança and Charles gave british access to India when the Portuguese gave the city of Bombay (Mumbai) to them, and Catarina introduced the tea, marmalade, orange jam, porcelain and cutlery in British lands.
I’m pretty sure even the fish and chips is Portugeese influenced!
We dont have that in Portugal,but we eat a lot fish..
João Teixeira I meant the deep frying technique probably was Portugal influenced
@@taxol2 yes you are correct but we have similar foods
João Teixeira Yes you have wonderful cuisine. I was in Portugal November 2018 and I’ll be visiting Portugal again April 2019.

Portugal Loves the United Kingdom.
I’m half Portuguese and I was always interested about the history there, My Family moved from Portugal to Hawaii in the mid 1800s, there’s lots of Portuguese in Hawaii! We’re also called Podagee or Pocho in Hawaiian Pidgin, also a joking word to say we’re crazy and talk a lot 😆
Love to our Portuguese friends 🏴❤️🇵🇹
I took a DNA test, and I'm 66.7% British and Irish, and 20.6% Portuguese. My mother's father's side of the family are Portuguese and the other 3 sides are British.
I've learned recently that during WW2, Portugal sold wolfram to both Britain and Germany in equal amounts, the difference was that Germany had to pay ahead while Britain paid when they could, the trade of wolfram stoped when Britain was no longer capable to afford the cost.
im from azores thanks for saying the facts that even some portuguese dont know and not butchering many words, great video
🇬🇧+🇵🇹=♥️
Love Portugal 🇵🇹
from 🇬🇧
Nice video! However, there's one thing about the 1386 treaty of Windsor that not a lot of people know about. The military alliance actually went both ways. England sent a contingent of longbowmen to help fight the Spanish at the battle of Aljubarrota, and the Portuguese sent warships to the English which they used to fight the French, since at the time the English did not yet have a proper navy.
Wow I didn't know that
quite true, what England had at the time was was mostly commercial ships, not war ships
Long live the Portuguese People|! From your faithful ally, UK :)
Thank you for all the brits that helped us in wars and being our friends for so long.
-From a portuguese person.
Worked with Portuguese folks at Stansted Airport, lovely people. 👍🇵🇹🇬🇧♥️
Love this alliance.this is our special relationship.this has been unbroken even before the Americas where discovered.
That alliance made the Portuguese King John VI move to Rio (because of Napoleon) in 1808. Rio became the capital of the United Kingdom of Brazil, Portugal and Algarves, and that's when Brazilians started to see their land as a country. Interesting how an alliance made so long ago and so far from here shaped my national identity.
There was no such thing as the "United Kingdom of Brazil, Portugal and Algarves". It was the "United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves". And it only lasted 10 years. King John VI was a coward and traitor to Portugal, just like his successor.
Spain: Lets take Gibraltar back!
UK and Portugal: Negatory good buddy not gonna happen!

do you kwon the reason for calling TEA?
Because the portuguese company that send tea for london put in the containers (T)ransporte de (E)rvas (A)romaticas (TEA)
Actually it comes from the Min Nam chinese "Te"
@@melissasilva4493 Perhaps it was the spelling in the Roman alphabet that comes from the acronym, even if the spoken word derives from a Chinese dialect?
@@denmaroca2584 the word in every language that traded with coastal China is some variation of "te", while land trade (and portugal) got "chai" so i think its just a myth the acronym
Transport of aromatic herbs
It has nothing to do with the origin of the word... Btw East India Company traded their own tea within the Empire so they didn't need a foreign country.
Wow
I love my British brothers 🇬🇧
Orgulhoso de ser Português!!

It was not just the Americans that liberated the west in the final years of WW2, do some research. Britain and Canada landed at Normandy too. ALL THREE did their part through France, Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Oh yes and it was NOT just the Americans vs the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge. The gap was closed by both the British and Americans.
Love Portugal. Beautiful country and people. Glad we have this alliance of sorts.

@@jdlc903 that also due to the fact that English settle their enclaves in the South of spain and dont really expose themselves to spaniards because if and when you do you get the "unwelcoming" treatment.
