@@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!

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.....

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.

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.

[@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).

Pedro was a smart men and recognized in the entire Europe. Not only a hero for Brazil, but also for Portugal. 1) The elite wanted to rule Brazil their own way. 2) Pedro took the initiative to keep the territory in the Braganzas dynasty. 3) He became King of Portugal while being Emperor of Brazil and abdicated the title for his oldest daughter, Maria. His brother (Miguel) married her. 4) He abdicated the Emperor title of Brazil for his son and returned to Portugal to liberate the Kingdom from his brother and mother in a Civil War. 5) He also was invited to be the King of Spain and Greece. 6) He died young with tuberculosis and his heart is conserved in a glass. He died in the same palace where he was born. 7) He was an advocate for the human rights and his last letter was sent to the Brazilian government to serious considerate the abolition of the slavery.

Notice that I said "they were smart on the way they planned" because what really happen was just dumb, US decided to give the rebels an advantage and prohibited the use of NATO equipment in africa but the rebels still lost the fight, they would however win independence because of a coup, but that made the region become communist and the oil was nationalised.

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).

Well, depending on your idea of what a territory is, an area under direct control not allowing others to step in is territory none the less. For as long as a few hundred people live on an island and produce some economic activity, the island can have an EEZ, but as you said, if no one lives there, then there is no economic production, thus, no EEZ. I believe a minimum population must be set internationally so that an island can be considered to have EEZ. Greece and Turkey go back and forth with this. Because Greece extended the EEZ to 12 nautical miles within the Ionian sea, nor Italy, nor Albania nor Turkey can enter without asking for access first. In practice, this is what territory means.

[@gelmir7322]

@@emiliospowerballer1441 I don't think there is a confusion between the definition of "territory" and "EEZ" . As far as UNCLOS is concern, EEZ is well defined among it's signatories, and EEZ is not the same as a Sovereign territory. Countries cannot arbitrarily redefine EEZ and interchange it with "sovereign" territory whenever they think it is convenient. That's not how this thing works Unlike Soverign territories, EEZ doesn't invalidate freedom of navigation. So an opposing country could park their entire Navy on your EEZ and as long as they are not harvesting any "resources" they are free to be there. Also EEZ is only binding with UNCLOS signatory countries. US for example doesn't recognize other any other countries EEZ as they are not signatories of UNCLOS. (though US had establish their own exclusive economic zone for themselves). And as far as they are concern, EEZ are part of international waters and nobody owns any of it. Another problem is that UNCLOS has no enforcing ability whatsoever EEZ is a toothless law, unless you are like China or US or some country with potent naval force.

@L C ESA has Kourou, not France. France owns the land. The rocket parts are made in France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Switzerland and others.

EEZ's are not sovereign territory. They're international waters that a state has exclusive economic rights over (that's what EEZ means - exclusive economic zone). Sovereignty ends 12 nautical miles from habitable land. The 200nm EEZ radius does not count as 'territory '

[@zap3231]

It's still considered by the UN as a form of territorry. And tbh, a much more important one, since there isn't any real distiction between sovereign waters and EEZs other than the ability to bar passage, which is irrelevant given that a navy powerful enough to exploit these waters can probably also defend them.

I'm Portuguese so you might call me biased but I find it mind boggling the amount of energy the EU spends with fishing rights in UK waters but lets something much greater and presumably easier to accomplish go unnoticed. And with a Portuguese UN secretary general, the very same guy who started the process when he was PM in Portugal. The process is getting bogged down by having the US, Russia and other countries trying to question/poke holes in the scientific data to support the claim, not that there is anything wrong with it but that they always want more data, each time requiring months of data gathering. If it was signaled by the EU this is a political interest of the Union, pretty sure it would move along much quicker

If anything the numbers will stabilize even more because the "white population" is dying of old age, no..? Even if we are talking about "facing the colonial past", I do frankly know some people that may unironically say some overly nationalist crap and treat songs like "Angola é Nossa" as if it is some truth rather than history but I know there were expositions made on this topic, with some minor "museums" opening up to bring awareness to that, so it could have been worse. Plus I seriously doubt someone from any ethnicity would get harrassed in Portugal, even in the islands... I just can't imagine it happening, maybe I'm just too innocent, who knows? But...

Really good video. As a Portuguese myself, it is so great to be "noticed" by such a large channel. By the way, some curiosities to add to the Portuguese colonial decay: - The first sign that something was about to happen was actually in 1580, when the Iberian Union began. Portugal, being an autonomous part of Spain, kept its colonies, but that title was degrading as the Spanish kings went with planning the complete annexation. Fortunately, Portugal regained its independence in 1640. - The British Ultimatum in 1890 was really tough. For both parts! Let's recall that they still have the oldest alliance in the world, so, for the British, that sort of felt like betraying. But the United Kingdom went on with it due to the railroad they wanted to build. Portugal's decision to accept the ultimatum was influenced a lot because of the 648 year-long alliance.
