How Portugal became Europe’s First Nation-State

[@SylvaHodracyrda]

«Portuguese Asia was not a purely mercantile venture like the British settlements in India. The Portuguese who discovered the sea-route to Asia, who established fortresses from the Persian Gulf to the Straits of Malacca & beyond, who built Goa [...], were a totally different class of people from the directors, the shareholders, & the employees of the East India Company. They were romantics, crusaders, conquistadors, as well as traders, while the members of the East India Company, coming on the scene a century later, were modern business men whose whole aim was dividends. Taking a broad view, the Portuguese irruption into Asia was the culmination of the long struggle against the Moors at home. From the tenth to the fifteenth century the Iberian peninsula was the scene of three thousand seven hundred battles, so it is computed, between its Christian tribes & the Arabian Emirs. In the course of those unending wars the Portuguese & the Spaniards emerged as nations. [...]. So lengthy a struggle, far from leaving the Iberians exhausted, seems to have invigorated them. When the Mohammedan power was overthrown in the Peninsula, instead of settling down & developing their country, they found themselves so overflowing with energy that they set sail across the oceans, [...]. [...] [Mr. Arnold Toynbee] sums up their place in history thus, referring, of course, to both Portuguese & Spaniards: “These Iberian pioneers of Western Christendom performed an unparalleled service for the civilization which they represented. They expanded the horizon, & thereby potentially the domain, of our Western Society from an obscure corner of the Old World until it came to embrace all the habitable lands & navigable seas on the surface of the planet. It is owing to this Iberian energy & enterprise that Western Christendom has grown, [...], until it has become ‘the Great Society’; a tree in which all the nations of the world have come & lodged. This latter-day Westernized World is the peculiar achievement of Western Christendom’s Iberian pioneers.” Portuguese Asia was the seed from which grew the British Dominion in Asia. Portuguese ascendancy lasted a century & a quarter, say, from 1500 to 1625. After a period when the Dutch, the British, & the French fought each other for first place, the British attained it after Plassey. Their dominion in turn is now passing away, possibly to be absorbed into a world dominion of a Western type. That the Portuguese conceived of their drive eastward as a continuation of the crusade against the Moors is very clear from the opening paragraph of Faria y Sousa’s ‘Portuguese Asia’; published in 1666: “Like an Impetuous Torrent did the Mohametans spread themselves over the Lesser Asia, after the Catholic arms had expelled them our Provinces,” he writes, referring to the taking of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453 & to their threatened invasion of Austria. “The Christian Princes, busied in destroying each other, looked on their Progress, without attempting to put any stop to this Current; when the Kings of Portugal, as the first who had shaken off themselves the Burthen of these Barbarians, & the first who passed over to crush them in Africk (obeying the Decrees of Heaven which required it) undertook to be the first to stop their proceedings in Asia.” In Asia all trade to Europe was under the control of the Muslim Sultans through whose kingdoms it passed. Europe’s imports from India, China, & the Islands came overland from the Persian Gulf & paid toll. The Turks, & Islam in general, would be harder hit by breaking that monopoly than they would be by a defeat in the field. That was the practical idea behind the Portuguese attempt to find a sea-route to India & the Far East. And, of course, while the loss of the monopoly of the eastern trade would damage Turkish finances, its transfer to Portugal would enormously increase the resources of that kingdom. [...]. To get the trade, the Portuguese would not only have to open the Cape route, but also fight the Mohammedans, who carried goods by sea to the Persian Gulf. But since the days of Roland & Roncesvalles, Islam had been the mortal enemy of the Christian Church. That now sufficed for a casus belli. Accordingly, King Dom Manuel I of Portugal was able to procure from Pope Alexander VI, the Borgia whose brutal face as depicted by Pinturicchio & carved by Caravaggio is so familiar to us, a Bull, dated 1494, granting him title to all the lands which might be discovered east of a line drawn north & south at a distance of 370 miles from the coast of Europe. Eight years later, after Vasco da Gama had returned from his voyage to India, the same Pope allowed the King to style himself ‘Lord of the Navigation, Conquest & Commerce of Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia, & India’. [...] The romantic or chivalric aspect of the Portuguese incursion was very notable. The leaders were all aristocrats. They considered themselves knights fighting in a grand emprise. In 1500, the year from which their eastern adventures may be roundly dated, knight-errantry was already somewhat old-fashioned. [...] Chivalry remained a factor in their policy after it had disappeared from France and England. [...]. [...] could not have happened had the Portuguese aristocrats not conceived of themselves as paladins. The characters in ‘Orlando Furioso’, published by Ariosto in 1516, were not unlike them. This romantic epic corresponded to a Renaissance tapestry, but in Portugal might well have seemed a transcript from contemporary life. Its hero, Roland, who had been dead seven hundred years, behaved as did the mad [Portuguese] knights who were to follow [...]. Its opening verse would have sounded like a trumpet for the men who sailed in 1497 against the Moors of Asia: “Of Loves & Ladies, Knights & Arms, I sing, Of Courtesies, & many a Daring Feat; And from those ancient days my story bring, When Moors from Africk passed in hostile fleet, And ravaged France, with Agramant their king, Flushed with his youthful rage & furious heat, Who on king Charles’, the Roman emperor’s head Had vowed due vengeance for Troyano dead.” This analogy between the ‘Orlando Furioso’ & the state of mind of the Portuguese who sailed to Asia is not fanciful, for their exploits were celebrated by Camoens in his epic ‘Os Lusíadas’, written in 1556, in a style not unlike that in which Ariosto describes the exploits of Roland. Take this verse from Canto X, where the poet hails Afonso de Albuquerque’s capture of Goa from the Mohammedans in 1510: “What glorious palms on Goa’s isle I see, Their blossoms spread, great Albuquerque, for thee! Through castled walls the hero breaks his way, And opens with his sword the dread array Of Moors & pagans; through their depth he rides, Through spears & show’ring fire the battle guides. As bulls enrag’d, or lions smear’d with gore, His bands sweep wide o’er Goa’s purpled shore.”» - Maurice Stewart Collis, 1942.

Dinis) and the denomination simply dropped the latter part of the name and kept the first part The "new" order of Christ kept all the knights and personell existing before!

[@thebrocialist8300]

A lot of Portuguese I’ve known over the years spoke English with an accent that sounded almost akin to that of a native Ukrainian speaker (or some other such Slavic language). I always found it quite curious. Very different accent to those of other Iberians and nothing like the accent of Portuguese-speaking Brazilians. Wouldn’t have expected speakers of a language based upon Old Galician to speak English so differently.

[@greentuga691]

@@thebrocialist8300 Thats all come down to the phonetics of the native language. The truth is that, for some reason, the phonetics of european portuguese are almost identical to slavic ones and, by default, a lot diferent to other romance languages. What makes this quite remarkable is that Portuguese and Slavic are from completly seperate families, in fact, never in history they were even closely related, they just evolved into the same sounds for some reason.

Somos como um cubo de gelo dentro de uma garrafa de água....sentimo-nos separados do mundo, meditem e derretam essa barreira invisível e ficarão surpreendidos....."Um pássaro que nasce numa jaula, julga que voar é uma doença".

Tudo parece físico, quando estamos isolados, quando "re-ligamos", reconectamos, vemos que tudo é uma subtil e pura energia.

[@jeanlundi2141]

O maior serviço que podemos prestar às pessoas que querem "acordar" espiritualmente é desmistificar "o caminho" e comunicar o essencial com o menor nível de superstição ou mistério . Como bem disseste a igreja desvirtuou o ensinamento de Jesus cujo intuito era empoderar as pessoas e não adorá-lo. Da mesma forma, apesar de realmente sermos algo "antes da mente" muitos ensinamentos e informação espiritual disponível e associada a práticas meditativas, tambem cria vicios interpretativos, que criam uma aura de "mistério intocável" ao que, se realmente é a nossa natureza essencial, nada tem de intocável. As coisas não são tão dramáticas como, na minha percepção, o que escreveste, dá a entender. Isso só serve para conferir uma seriedade metafórica desnecessária às coisas. Aliás odeio metáforas. Somos essencialmente seres energéticos, mas a mente não é um obstáculo. As ideias e parte da cultura, e o que nós é ensinado sobre a natureza das coisas, é que é. Tenho 35. Aos 22/23 aprendi a meditar e a explorar tópicos espirituais. Olhando para trás, muita coisa que aprendi era desnecessária e só desacelarou o processo da busca daquilo que me levou a explorar a espiritulidade desde o começo - querer sentir-me bem, ter mais controlo sobre a minha vida e melhor entendimento do sentido da nossa/minha existência. Estamos aqui para sermos humanos e vivermos no corpo. E nunca podemos ser "ovelha perdida". Porque o pastor da nossa vida somos nós próprios. As pessoas precisam sim de perceber que tudo é energia neste mundo (incluindo o corpo e mente), precisam perceber que os seus pensamentos e emoções afectam tudo a seu redor, precisam perceber de que desta forma são co-criadores da sua própria experiência de vida (com a participação mais ou menos indireta dos outros 7 biliões de almas no planeta e todos as outras coisas) e precisam saber que podem ser felizes se quiserem trabalhar para fazer os ajustes a nivel mental e emocional necessários para que isso aconteça. Tudo o resto, desejos de Deus, reinos dos céus etc......são consequências de não terem as suas necessidades básicas satisfeitas (ondem incluo segurança, amor etc). Não há "ovelhas perdidas" se as ovelhas não ensinarem umas às outras que estão perdidas :) Ninguém tá perdido. Mas podems sim partilhar mais conhecimento sobre a realidade, sem mistérios e superstição....com vista a satisfazer as reais necessidades das pessoas, e não o que QUALQUER ensinamento dá a crer que é necessário.

[@kvatchyobiv8540]

Tudo muito bom não quero dizer que se pratique isso nessa religião , mas cuidado está escrito, em Revelação ou também conhecido como Apocalipse, palavras de Deus , naqueles tempos, "Voltarei o meu rosto contra quem consulta espíritos e contra quem procura médiuns para segui-los, prostituindo-se com eles. Eu o eliminarei do meio do seu povo." Levítico 20:6, "Os homens ou mulheres que, entre vocês, forem médiuns ou consultarem os espíritos, terão que ser executados. Serão apedrejados, pois merecem a morte". Levítico 20:27 Saul morreu dessa forma porque foi infiel ao Senhor, não foi obediente à palavra do Senhor e chegou a consultar uma médium em busca de orientação, em vez de consultar o Senhor. Por isso o Senhor o entregou à morte e deu o reino a Davi, filho de Jessé. 1 Crônicas 10:13-14 Quando disserem a vocês: "Procurem um médium ou alguém que consulte os espíritos e murmure encantamentos, pois todos recorrem a seus deuses e aos mortos em favor dos vivos", respondam: "À lei e aos mandamentos!" Se eles não falarem conforme esta palavra, vocês jamais verão a luz! Isaías 8:19-20 Lúcifer é também conhecido como Satanás, conhecido também como "anjo luz" ou a "luz que fere" o mesmo que "estrela da manhã" que adivinhem só senhor do "Vale do amanhecer", engana seres humanos alimentando o Egoísmo fazendo os acreditar que têm poderes por eles mesmos e que os espíritos lhes apoiam, mas o "anjo luz" faz se passar por verdade assim como se fez passar perante seus irmãos anjos e arcanjos levando a parte deles a pecar e serem expulsos do paraíso. Se anjos e arcanjos caem na sedução de lúcifer nós humanos é bem mais fácil manipular por ele por falta de conhecimento para com o criador.

This Portuguese fellow sort of looks like Ray Stevenson (played Titus Pullo on ‘Rome’). My family surname (De Acuña) actually is Portuguese in origin (da Chuna) - entering the Iberian social landscape during the Christian Reconquista (the name being a title derived from lands a knight was granted in the Da Cunha Alta highlands). Doubtful they had ties to the Templar Order but subsequent lines of ‘De Acuñas’ in Spain became prominent figures in the Orders of Santiago and Calatrava - military orders established in Spain in order to reduce the (hitherto unchecked) influence of the Templar Order in the courts of Christian Kingdoms throughout the peninsula.

[@SylvaHodracyrda]

Good evening. There was no Spain during the time period you speak of, the Order of Santiago is founded during these occurrences and after the formation of the Portuguese kingdom it remained active in Portugal, later being divided into two separate branches (orders), the Castilian & the Portuguese.

There is one point that if accepted will join more dots and make sense. The ornate buildings are not 19th century. They were acquired then, as a result of the previous "master builders" civilisation being buried during C1700 mud flood. Our history was re-written hence ornate buildings much older then we think. The Knights Templer symbols would be from a much earlier period. And we lost the art of building like this after that civilisation's demise.

Greetings. Galícia wasn’t a nation-state, it was a feudal-state. People must understand what a nation-state is.

Scotland, for instance, was already around as well, & yet its population was divided into clans & chieftains; there was no unifying factor between them other than the name used for the land they all separately shared. Here’s another, during the 16th century Italy was a geographical name that comprised several separate city-states, a designation similarly used to describe Europe as a continent, or Arabia & Iberia as peninsulas. It was only in the 2nd half of the 19th century that Italy was unified as a single class/faction, when «Italian» finally became a national attribution, whereas before it was a geographical/regional one. To put it in a way anyone can understand, the role of faction evolution usually goes like this: - 1st: Small communities form tribes, with the purpose of better standing against the elements, the well-being of its members is the priority, so as to accomplish the main intent, survival. - 2nd: A new problem arises, the need for a leader who can make the difficult decisions. The best hunters, best fighters, or the wisest among the tribes are often elected for that position. - 3rd: These over time often evolve into feudal-states as the tribes grow much larger, the hereditary privilege frequently passes onto the children, which is the prototype for titles of nobility found all over the world. In Japan, we see the worldly known example with the Samurai, its feudal lords. In Medieval Europe, these were its Knights (not always though). - 4th: The survival of the community against the elements ensured - to the best ability of the circumstances involved of course - & the issue of a lack of leadership resolved, yet another comes up. Suddenly, it’s no longer about the community’s survival, but the rulers’ interests alone. - 5th/Last: This is fixed by the creation of a Nation-State, where the purpose of said class/faction/kingdom is no longer exclusively focused on the service of one specific entity alone, such as the sovereign, but the contributions of the nation as whole to itself, without disrespecting however the hierarchical ladders. More importantly, where the sense of Nationhood is already intrinsic within its main population, united under a single or main language. This goes without mentioning the matter of its centralized power, which is required, the establishment of stable borders & the acknowledgement of sovereignty & independence by its neighbors. This is something that obviously takes countless generations for it to happen. Resumed: Tribes -» Feudal-States -» Nation-States. (City-States before in some cases, such as Greece) A nation-state can be a kingdom or a republic, or others for that matter; that’s just its governmental system, it doesn’t mean there is, again, a sense of National identity. With my best regards. Edit: Added a correction.

@djsngolossy6237 I offered a very, very detailed description of what a nation-state is on that comment. The presence of a noble class has nothing to do with it necessarily. In fact, there are many nations, to this day, that still have it. What makes the difference, in that case, is the centralization of power: when feudal lords (nobles) dictate the rule of law for the piece of land they own independently, something that never happened in Portugal, whose inhabitants already then (12th century) were bound to obey one single creed: that of the king's. Besides, let's not pretend there are no "noble classes" currently going about, they just changed their surnames & logos (if you take my meaning).

Hello Travis. I read your coment and i am very interested in all you wrote here. I know you are talking the truth. Burgher Ethnicity is one of the several comunities founded by Portugal. And i am researching that. I think Portugal my country, should officially get in touch with you, as well, with the other portuguese origin comunities. Please contact me!! Saudações de Portugal!!

Scotland was established in the 9th century and Denmark in the 8th. both were nationstates by the 10th century.

[@SylvaHodracyrda]

Good evening. In respects to Scotland, it was during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, more specifically primarily during the reign of David I, that we began to see a large part of its current borders under the control of a single ruler and unified by the Gaelic language, even though English would become more influential during his time ironically - with its population still very much divided into clans & chieftains. Denmark in the 8th century was hardly a state, let alone one with a sense of national identity so much as more of a tribal one (as well). Kingdoms and nation-states are not necessarily the same, even if the latter happens to be a kingdom - defined borders are something to consider as well. The definition of nation-state meets the standards of the current modern system of states, in which the balance of power depends on its effectiveness upon defined, this includes borders, centrally controlled, independent entities, whichever they are, recognize each other's sovereignty and territory, something it was far from happening in the places you have mentioned, where feudalism was the creed.

[@memyself345]

@@SylvaHodracyrda From what I was taugh and understand, it was still regarded as a kingdom, the borders expanded and in the infact contacted as well, with the loss of cumbria, though under david it did extend into county durham, there was syb kingdoms in scotland and the north and west were occupied by scandinavians but the merging of Pictland and Dal'Riata and the movement of the national church to central scotland meant that in effect it was, maybe not a feudal state in the mid medieval period, but it had it's processes, customs and laws but a nation state, it did expand to absorb strathclyde and retake the lothians back from northumbria and with strathclyde got cumbria as well but the kingdom of alba had become the premier kingdom from what I learnt at university anyway. The process of gaelicisation in the south and east of the country had begun from the 7th and 8th century at least if not before. In fact many kings of Northumbria could speak gaelic it like French in the future being a lingua franca. Certainly Denmark with the reign of Harald bluetooth and the christianization of the kingdom there also cemented the process in the 10th century, and were known externaly as a kingdom from the 9th if not 8th century.

@@memyself345 Good friend, kingdoms & nation-states are not necessarily the same thing, even if the latter happens to be a kingdom. Both too often are presumed as the equivalent, reason why the confusion frequently emerges.
