What has Portugal ever done for us? A brief history of Portugal.

A brief history of Portugal and the discovery of the world. Portugal was one of the main players in the European Age of Discovery and Exploration. At the beginning of the 16th century, Portugal was the most prosperous nation in the world, thanks to its exploits in navigation, exploration and conquest. It was the first European power to start building a colonial empire and dominated two oceans, the Atlantic and the Indian. #history #portugalhistory

Let’s be honest we discovered the world first, the unknown. The others followed our routes! We did all of this to spread Christianity all over the world to save all the lost souls, that was the main purpose then we found interest in trade along the way! Who will put their lives at risk to the unknown if not for an higher purpose like faith and religion? So there you go...lusitanian navigators were some brave stubborn type of human beings...Real men with HUGE balls...they had a vision and courage to do it and they got the job done the rest is history! 💪🏻🇵🇹

Yes, God loves slavery. Thank you, Portugal. You are God's people. You built churches and then enslaved the people. Well done! Maybe that's why Portugal is poor today. God's punishment for centuries of malice.

True in with Afonso of Albuquerque, Administration the portuguese had in that time not just ship tecnology most advanced but also in architecture of Fortresses, and guns the best were portuguese, First imported from Nuremberg, and from Bohemia, in Lisbon upgraded with own developers that mixed both advantages from each places in Germany, When arrival at India in Goa portuguese recognized Indians from Goa as great gunsmiths aswell and send many to Lisbon and the king gave them privileges and prizes for them to join portuguese gunsmiths and both create new tecnology hybrid, same tecnology continuously was upgraded, untill arrival at the shores of the Japanese Ottomo clan shores where portuguese created deep cooperation and latter Oda Nobunaga and Mr. Hideyoshi used portuguese guns to unify Japan putting an end to civil war and Japan began industrializing portuguese guns leading to having more guns Japan alone than all Europe combined.

As most people nowdays dont know portuguese didnt fought against Subsaarian kingdoms to get slaves to trade, but bought from kings in Africa slaves, marfim, pelts etc... in exchange for European clothes, wine, spices from India in return and of course guns, portuguese in that era were the best europeans holding gunpowder weaponry, so the African kings acknoledged the portuguese as an advanced civilization and compared to christianism the chronicles speaks for example for more than a century of Friendly trade and diplomatic relations between the king of Portugal and the King of Congo, and how the trade rules were made by Congo and Portuguese respected that, latter centuries when portuguese and Brasilian wanted to end the acquisition of slaves for industry the kingdom of Congo were deeply against the end of slave trade because was the life blood of his kingdom in XVII and XVIII century aswell.

Prezado propagandista da lenda branca do lusotropicalismo não-escravocrata e "emancipador" dos povos incivilizados, é escusado que pessoas como você escolham enveredar pelo caminho jingoista e ufanista que recorre a malabarismos argumentativos repletos das velhas, habituais e fajutas falacias da logica informal, tais como a mais que batida falacia 'cherry picking'. Comprar escravos perpetuando o ciclo de escravatura nos locais de destino equivale do ponto de vista moral e etico aos atos de escravatura original que culminavam na subsequente venda aos portugueses. É como diz o ditado: "Tão ladrão é o que vai à horta como aquele que fica à porta". Além disso, foi esse o tipo de "cristianismo" que Jesus Cristo ensinou aos seus apostolos e seguidores: comprar escravos aos reinos tribais da africa ocidental para fazerem trabalho forçado e não remunerado nas fazendas no brasil, uma vez que os nativos ou indígenas se recusavam a fazê-lo e preferiam morrer a submeterem-se ao trabalho escravo????!!! Haja decencia moral em nome de incontaveis escravos que morreram nos porões dos navios acorrentados e mais tarde quando chegaram ao Brasil!!!

It was the Dutch and Germans who introduced slavery in Americas. STOP repeating lies and study who had the first license to trade slaves to Americas, because it wss a Flemish called Laurense Gauvenot in 1518. This document still exists. Portugal was the first in the all world to forbid slavery!

[@vitorcandido100]

When the Portuguese arrived in Africa to trade first time, one of the trading goods from the African tribes, was Slaves, African tribes and Kingdoms had slaves to sell. Roman, Greeks, Egypt had slaves… But until the Portuguese arrive was not possible to cross the continents with goods (salves included). So this ideia who started to have slaves is quite distant from the perspective. The Portuguese were the first to move slaves between continents by sea.

[@teddydavis2339]

You Portuguese need to stop with your lies. They were the first Europeans to enslave and traffic Africans across the world, and they took the most slaves. They started kidnapping Africans in 1445. So,accept your brutal history. They didn't abolish slavery until 1888.

It should be noted that although the sea exploration brought a lot of wealth to Portugal, much of it was gold and other goods that were of natural extraction, creating inflation and also corruption in the royalty, which is one of the reasons Portugal fell off.

18:25 - A small correction: the Pastel de Nata was not invented by the Jerónimos' monastery monks, that would be the Pastel de Belém. No one knows for sure who created the Pastel de Nata, all we know is that it was created to try to replicate the Pastel de Belém but since the latter has a secret recipe, it made the Pastel de Nata just a look-alike pastry made with different ingredients.

@@whodidwhatforus - Well, whoever "they" are, they're spreading a misconception. There's a reason why only the ones sold in Belém are called Pastéis de Belém (trademarked name) and all the "other ones" are called Pastéis de Nata, if they were created by the monks they would also be called Pastéis de Belém.

[@LouisMota]
