[@fatkrab7556]

@@volgshtein Good Question... If i had to guess, since i cant quite seem to fully understand your question, it is because portugal is divided into several methods of division, being the least defined NUTS I and the most NUTS III. In the NUTS I, there is only 3 portuguese divisions: Continental Portugal, RAA(Região Autonoma dos Açores, Autonomous Region Of the Azores, AKA Islands in the middle of the northern atlantic ocean, amazing place), and the RAM(Região Autónoma da Madeira, Autonomous Region of the Madeira Islands, AKA Islands next to the Spanish Canary islands and birthplace of Cristiano Ronaldo). Since the Madeira Islands are a Huge part of the portuguese territory in what comes to a possible expansion, its clear the maps representing the Already-in-usage territory expansion would wish to detail the fact that portugal owns territory in the african continent, expanding their water borders by a huge landslide! Does this awnser your question?

So this is not shown on this maps and I don't know how is the real division on the water works.

Back when I was a student at university in the early 1980s, I took a legend and myth history course. One of the lectures involved her discussing Portugal's roll in the great age of discovery. The following class, the professor had mentioned that after the previous lecture, many students had come up to her to discuss what they had just learned. They were all astounded at the magnitude of Portugal's role in discovering the new world. As a result, the professor dedicated that day's lecture strictly to the influence of Portugal during those centuries of great exploration. Being of Portuguese background, I felt so proud that these students were finally understanding just how important role Portugal played in the centuries coming out of medieval Europe. Yes, Portugal kick started one of the most important periods in world history. Portugal is the sea.

its very hard to do that kind of infrastructure in portugal. the north sea is 20m deep on average, and the estuaries in the netherlands dont get much deeper than that. in portugal, the coast starts rigt at the depth 80m in the end of the tagus and 500 m just a few kilometers of the coast. this helps the upwelling and that's one reason why the portuguese beaches are extremely cold. in the canon of nazaré it can get to 2000 m even closer to the coast. even the duch cant polder this far... i mean... lets not give them ideas.....

I don't think most people would mind the extension of their EEG. Actually 2-3 decades ago they had found a large reserve of oil fields a few miles from the mainland coast. They held a referendum and the majority of people (like over 80% if I remember correctly), voted not to drill oil. The reason is that it would probably affect their coastline and tourism, a major part of Portugese economy. So yeah, they have a lot of resources in the sea but aren't using them to attain their countries beauty, and if you've ever visited Portugal it has a beautiful coast.

[@ericjohnson7234]

Yet the money that this EEG would assembly line in, would give Portugal the necessary funds to keep its prestine coastline prestine. Using the money revenue, and may even lead to another technology that environmentalists would love, liek clean coal, clean ocean gas. Could you imagine how many places around the world could benefit from something like this? Far reaching potential, that we would deny ourselves? Is just sad.

[@EchoesOfVoid]

The decision not to explore oil in Portuguese territory was probably one of the best decisions of the last 60 years in Portugal and the Portuguese who think otherwise are very stupid. The Portuguese state would only receive +- 45 thousand euros/month for all occupied land areas and 575 thousand euros/month for maritime areas. and royalties (value paid per barrel) 0.1% to 5% per barrel in maritime explorations and between 3% to 8% in land explorations depending on the production volume. To make matters even worse, all oil and gas discovered would belong entirely to the concessionaire with no obligation to stay in the country.

This E and É makes an enormous difference meanings in Portuguese language. É: Means affirmation: Portugal É (o) mar - Portugal is the Sea (which would be correct). E: Add something to the sentence: Portugal e Mar - Portugal and the Sea. This mistake is not the end of the world, just an observation.

Respect should be used when we talk about countries and cultures and historical events, in this specific case Portugal is an ancient and historically relevant country and culture, and when we criticize it you are potentially offending millions of persons, why the condescending tone? In the video he comments that Portugal has a tendency to try to be bigger that it is, if this not condescending I don't know what is. I'm not earing the narrator criticizing Rome, a single city state was able to grow to be the largest empire at the time in the west, isn't that trying to be bigger that it is? No critique there? It's obvious that any bully enjoys kicking the one lying on the ground, and Portugal once big is now small and poor, so appetizing isn't it? go for it, kick it once more.

I wonder how the transition into "modern times" of the French colonial empire compare to Portugal's. I have the impression Britain just gave up on it, knowing it was a lost battle, so it created the Common Wealth instead. Portugal was arguably on the other side of it: inflexible, lost it all. But France seems to have maintenained a lot of its old empire worldwide, using a similar strategy to the Portuguese: making those territories (somewhat) integral to the "European France".

[@DanielHowardIRE]

Exactly. I'm from Ireland which used to be a part of the British empire. All that remains here is Northern Ireland which will likely unify with the rest of Ireland in the near future. Britain, more specifically England, has rendered itself to being a small, nationalistic, small-minded and increasingly isolated nation. It's quite embarrassing and sad to see how much they've fucked themselves up with Brexit. Very few countries want to trade with them as they're seen as unstable and untrustworthy. That's how many former colonial powers end up. One needs only to look at Russia...

[@randalthor1955]

the country that begun integrating the overseas lands into the territory into equal terms was Spain, and if not the anglosaxon influence in the elites, and the napoleon invasion, very probably Spain would have stayed a unified nation, maybe divided in 3-4 pieces maximum(with american territories as main powers and spain as a side province) Still today you can see how succesfull that interrupted model was mixing and bringing to the world a new kind of people: the hispanoamericans. (no matter how badly the history has treated them). France and Portugal arrived a bit late, and coulndt get it. this model is known as the "roman empire model" a generator empire, in oposition to the british empire that was a predator model only.(only where they could exterminate the natives, they would generate).

That is something that the UK or Ireland, the USA or Canada, which have large continetal shelves, will never be able to do. That is also why, few countries actually resquested to expand their territories, because few can find a reason to do so. Portugal's very proposal is in fact open. The project "Mar Portugal" leaves the door open for further expansions under the permission that there is a continum between the land being claim and the land beyond those bounderies.

2:13 the translation isn't entirely correct because what is in Portuguese says "Portugal and Sea!" if it was "Portugal is the sea!" it needed t be written like this: "Portugal é o mar!"

Its actually portugal is sea because "portugal **é**mar" I mean if we were the sea

@@geometryjumpfl2784 I know but makes more sense, the defined determinant isn't in English but in Portuguese needs, because it's not a sea it's *THE* sea What RLL wrote as the translation is "Portugal is *the* sea" "Portugal é o mar" Portugal translates to Portugal Is translates to "é" The translates to "o" Sea translates to "Mar" I am not wrong, you are And you are forgetting RLL is a English channel, not a Portuguese one, so there might have some mistakes if he writes something in another language, nobody is perfect

8:23 this is kinda interesting. Portugal is a part of NATO, and Portugal considered Goa as their own territory(not a colony), so when India invaded Goa, it was literally invading Portugal, and thus that was an attack on all of the nato countries. Portugal and Nato actually issued warnings to India but India invaded anyways making India probably the only country ever actually waging war against nato and defeating them.

[@l23722]

Actually that is false. Indeed India was warned to not do it, but Portugal never got assistance and was told from the start that NATO would not stand on it's side. By that time Portugal was already on the verge of the so called "Proudly Alone" policy. As the video itself showed, the USA (a NATO member), helped the rebels in every colony, effectively proving you wrong. India never waged or won a war against NATO, it won against Portugal which was "Proudly Alone".

[@RogersMgmtGroup]

The NATO charter specified what territory is covered and it excludes non-Euro and North American parts of any NATO members (this is roughly, but not the exact deal). This is why the UK was pretty much on its own in the Falklands War.
