Hi Sam in 19.35 you say that Philip the second from Spain invaded Portugal. That was actually not the case, Portugal, due to some unfortunate events, had ni king and there were some candidates to the throne among them your spanish boy philip, philip then became king and the country was now in an "alliance" with Spain, both being ruled by spain, then came two more philips from spain (the son and the grandson of the first philip I mentioned) who also ruled Portugal and Spain but ech one repected portugal and its rights less, using their ships and military, wich they couldnt. That led to a revolution and Portugal was independent again.

[@thewitheredstriker]

Actually, several of these contenders were Portuguese, including António, Prior of Crato, whom most of the people recognized. Philip DID sweep in with Spanish armies, defeating Antonio at Alcântara and then seizing Lisbon. Tl;dr it does seem like there was indeed an invasion to kick things off.

[@Tusiriakest]

Some epic gamer boy they weren’t united. The Cortes de Tomar agreement maintain Portuguese independece, currency, language, even official office’s holders had to be Portuguese. Same king as Spain, diferent country. More like nowadays UK and Canada

[@Tusiriakest]

Some epic gamer boy colonies were still considered part of the portuguese empire. The king couldn’t raise taxes, for instance, without doing so at the Portuguese Cortes, with the approval of portuguese nobility, clergy and after the people’s representatives’ consultation. He couldn’t do it from Madrid, he has to summon the Portuguese Cortes to do so. That’s actually the reason for the rebellion against Filipe III of Portugal ( IV of Spain), because he decided to raise Portuguese taxes from Madrid.

[@Tusiriakest]

@Some epic gamer boy Monarchies back then (XVI and early XVII) weren't the absolute monarchies of the XVIII century m8. No king had complete control. The monarchy was bound, by treaty (Cortes de Tomar) to uphold the kingdom's independence and to respect the will of the Cortes (namely nobility and clergy). There was only one area where the king had complete power: Foreign Relations. All previous alliances (namely the Anglo-Portuguese alliance) were put on hold. (which add disastrous consequences for the Portuguese Empire during the Iberian Union... specially against the British and Netherlands). There's a case to be made whether this de juri independence was a de facto independence. In some fields, yes, in others, not much... and that is why the Union didn't work out. Loosing independence was always inadmissible by the Portuguese nobility and even common folk, that opposed the Union in the first place, while the nobility didn't.

You forgot that Magellan gave us the name of the Pacific Ocean, coming from the Portuguese word, Pacifico, meaning peaceful. The Portuguese were not only the first Europeans to reach India by sea, reach Brazil by sea, but they also gave us Labrador in Canada (named after João Fernandes Lavrador, who discovered it in 1498). This was the first European voyage to Canada (except for the Vikings from the 10th century). They were also the first Europeans to reach Indonesia, China, Japan and the Philippines by the sea.

A 19 de setembro de 1761, pela mão de Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, então conde de Oeiras e assinado por D. José, foi emitido um alvará libertando todos os escravos negros provenientes da América, África ou Ásia assim que cheguassem à metrópole (atual território de Portugal) após desembarque.[12] Esta lei, expandida posteriormente em novos alvarás, foi o primeiro passo para a abolição da escravatura no mundo.[13] No início do século XIX, por pressão da Grã-Bretanha, Portugal proibiu o comércio de escravos e, em 1854, por decreto, foram libertos todos os escravos que restavam. Dois anos mais tarde, também foram libertos todos os escravos da Igreja Católica nas colónias. A 25 de fevereiro de 1869, produziu-se finalmente a abolição "prática" e completa da escravatura em todo o Império Português. Em 1930 morreu a última escrava em Portugal com 120 anos de idade.

[@trinitylizz]

Actually slavery in Africa was different to what the west did. You kept your enemies has slaves for only a special time then they are let go. Many masters married their slaves. They also traded their slaves but the rules were commonly known. No one knew how the caucasians would deal with slaves. Please research your story. The Portuguese also acted as guards to many of the Kings in West Africa including the Benni and the Yorubas. The Africans liked the idea of having white guards as it was different to others.

Great! Obrigado! 3 things: 1 - saudade comes from soledade, feeling alone, missing something 2 - Spain (alias, Castilla) NEVER took Portugal. The Iberian Union was a Portuguese idea becoming stronger with the Portuguese king Manuel the 1st. It took place when there was a successors crisis, once the king Sebastian died young in a battle in Morocco and leaving no kids. 3 - bacalhau, cod fish. It is nacional dish, but we don't have the fish. It was 1stly introduced by the Vikings when they come to Lusitania coasts to take salt. 'Til the start of the 20th century, the way to preserve meat and fish, was precooking it, drying it under the sun with salt or at the entrance of a fire place. The Portuguese fished it at the Northern seas, including Terra Nova, which was a Portuguese possession even before Colombo reached America. Later, it was kind of given to the British which changed its name to Newfoundland. The city of St John was the village of São João and Lavrador, another village becoming a city, was the name of a Portuguese saylor. The British misspelled it writing Labrador and yes, it's the local dog's breed name :) Ah, forgot to tell a friendly joke about fish and chips, also made with codfish: we use to say that we cook it and the British spoil it :P :D

Thanks for the video 😉 I am a Portuguese and I loved it! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1005">16:45</a> The April 25th 1974 revolution (known as The Freedom Day) is the unique revolution without a single shot being fired at some one. Not a single shot fire, not a single drop of blood shed. It was a peaceful revolution, due to the people being tired of the lack of freedom and living in poverty enforced by the Estado Novo dictatorship. After all, Marcelo Caetano (the President which came after António de Oliveira Salazar) was in favour of a change, but people wanted it sooner - rather, the Military forces wanted it sooner, because it was those Military forces which commanded the revolution. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1113">18:33</a> Portugal was also the first country in the World to abolish slavery. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1192">19:52</a> It is important to note that the record was pursued to highlight the inauguration of the Vasco da Gama Bridge - right before the International Exposition of 1998. Which is then talked about at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1277">21:17</a> - The Vasco da Gama bridge is still today the longest bridge in the European Union, and the second longest in all of Europe - after the Crimean Bridge. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1336">22:16</a> Fado is somewhat equal to Saudade, in Portuguese, but Fado is the music genre, like Pop or Rock.

Despite being apparently similar, they are vastly different. Pasteís de Belém are those who tourist and Portuguese buy from the Belém district, in Lisbon. Pastéis de Nata are those which can be bought all across the country. The only words which were painful to understand were the ones referring to dishes (e.g. Carne de Vinho'd'alhos e Peixeinhos da horta). The other words were okay, and we understand that they are very difficult to pronounce. Portuguese is one of the toughest languages to learn, due to its complexity (due to having many irregular verbs, each person in a verb has a different way of writing and saying) and uncommon pronunciation - which differs from many other languages. Equatorial Guinea is not officially a recognized Portuguese-speaking country, because the CPLC (the organization which brings together all the Portuguese-speaking countries) recognizes that Equatorial Guinea violates The Human Rights.

So, Portuguese people from Angola and Mozambique knew far more about the outside world.

Been waiting for this one for a while.

Stop saying "I'M frOm pOrTuGal" or "wHo eLsE iS fRoM POrTuGal", because it's obviously that most of the people who saw this video are portugueses, incluindo eu :)

Sam! Portugal? What the hell? I live there, I already know this. Choose another theme. 😂😂 I watched the whole video. Very accurate. It's the first one I've seen in KZbin that I didn't to run away from. I just didn't understood half of the names, but you tried and it's a really good video. Maybe you should try to put subtitles when the names can't be said in English like... D. Manuel I, D. Afonso Henriques...

[@SleepyCat-yp9rq]

@@SleepyCat-yp9rq Não é assim tão certeiro o video, tem factos inuteis/repetidos, alguns errados e outros distorcidos.... em geral foi um video muito fraquito!!

if you "know" the facts he told in this video then you want to reeducate yourself as most of it is plainly wrong or outdated information which is weird since they've released this video this month

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Love Portugal, I have ancestry from the Azores and Lisbon. I was so happy when they won Eurovision in 2017 even though I was also rooting for Epic Sax Guy. Their cuisine is pretty good. We wouldn’t have peri-peri if it wasn’t for the Portuguese
