The Madeirans were brought there by the British who took an important role in the Madeira, better than the portuguese! Calling portuguese to Madeirans is quite an offense the same way calling you a British or, maybe, American. In hawaii there were also some Azorians but Madeirans were far numerous than them.

Portugal not only was the first to establish a navy but also became the first global super power. And only due to the fact that UK had an alliance with Portugal did the UK became the next one. If it wouldn't be for the treaty, Portugal would had crushed every britsh attempt to became so powerfull, because at this time we ruled the whole sea and all the coast from ceuta down to cape of good hope over to bermuz and india and japan. Not only that but we actually helped the british, gave them they're first colonie in india, maps and telled them how to build ship's. If it wasn't for that, no british ship would had ever reachd india. Keep in mind that the portuguese, kept the mamluks, the ottomans, venicia and genova in check, fought many wars to protect and controll the sea routes before UK had even joined the game.

[@billmcgubbins1476]

Happily, in general, pine forests are fairly well adapted to wildfires. In fact some species require fire to reproduce. As long as loggers didn't go in and clear out all the remnants (exposing the soil and leaching out nutrients) the forest will recover quickly. Where I live there has been examples of both, and wherever the forest was left alone after a fire, fresh growth is almost impenetrably dense. Areas where crews went in and "salvaged" (aka completely remove any timber remaining, from blackened stumps to intact trees) nothing but sand remains.

Another striking tech from our Navy was the breech loaded naval guns as an upmost upgrade towards the nozzle loaded ones. After each one has fired, the recoil forces the gun to move backwards and then needed to be rearmed again, taking perhaps more than a minute; also with the danger of getting to much high temperature that might cause premature gunpowder deflagration. Carrying two or more breeches per wapon, they could be cooled, dried out and reloaded for the next shot at a higher rate of fire. Thanks a lot for this video :)

Loved the video mate evryone talks about the royal navy or the US navy good to see we are not forgoten

[@svchineeljunk-riggedschoon4038]

4:45 Wrong, a square rigged ship is better downwind, but worse upwind. So I would not say it was "more maneuverable" It is the triangular foresail that gives upwind ability, and I am guessing that the ship you mentioned had more of those than former designs. An improved hull could have also helped.

Portugal! A military detail that only north americans have recently is the military officer patent (capitão mar e guerra) that can operate in land and sea joining two military branches.

Man I loved this! Great patriotism, but I've always thought the Portuguese narrative was never given its proper due in the wider world. Well done for such a good job in redressing it all.

[@xpaisana]

This video is actually one of the fews on KZbin quite accurate. During a time where everything was kept secret so the other countries didn't know about anything, it's interesting how the portuguese manage to mislead many people for a century and then lost most of the control to other major powers (Spain, Britain, and after the Dutch and French)... but that was a result of a small population, expeling the Jews and other bad decisions. It's still amazing how a small country was the first (or one of the first) in so many things... The first navy, the first to be in every continent, the first to abolish slavery (even though we started the trades to America), and others... We traded all over the world and we're the pioneers of globalization. Unfortunately since the 19th century our fame quickly disapeared and now we're famous thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo which is kind of sad...

The remains of Antiquities being in the Azores makes sense geologically because the Azores themselves are the peaks of the Azores plateau that are above sea level.

Botafogo was the nickname it was given to the ship and to the artillery commander, he later adopted it as a family name. Later the king gave him lands in Brazil, and those lands are still called Botafogo today.. the real name of the ship was S. João Baptista

I believe the Portuguese also have the oldest submarine navy. Not sure. All the best to everyone, Portugal rules!

[@joaosousa1966]

Haven't heard about that bro.

[@vicentecarmo1964]

No, we don't, we have two submarines that our former minister of foreign affairs bought that are permanently stationed in one of our ports because we have n true use for them and he didn't buy torpedoes or much fuel because the budget dried up shortly after so all they were used for was in a soap opera once

[@richardpatton2502]

Vicente Carmo I don’t mean the oldest submarines. I mean one of the first official submarine fleet and school. I’m not talking about the age of the equipment, I’m talking about the age of the unit itself.

[@vicentecarmo1964]

@@richardpatton2502 we got the subs in about 2011 and that was when a sub school was founded, nothing before the 2000's

[@richardpatton2502]

Yes, very unfortunate that our people continue to elect those buffoons. The quicker the people learn to say enough, the faster we can rebuild and not be a joke.
