You what Ghostavo?

[Ghostavo]

So when did this ilusionary thing you say happened?

Go get yourself a nice kicking in the arse by a scizo french girl.

[vyper]

Here we go...

[an0n]

Firstly: Schizo

Secondly: French?

Thirdly: Name me one successful venture Portugal has ever undertaken, aside from breaking from Spain.

[Ghostavo]

We had the biggest, most powerful empire in the world by far in the 15th century. We mantained the longest lived colonial empire in the world. We explored the world... etc... etc... etc...

Yeah... little stuff...

[vyper]

And we had the biggest. Suck on that son.

[an0n]

You empire got it's ass kicked, the colonies all fell to superior foes and the world had already been explored.

[Ghostavo]

So was yours... and to inferior foes might I say...

And our later colonies were granted independence in 1974 after a certain revolution. Brazil was grated theirs by a Portuguese king, etc...

[vyper]

Not really, bar America, it was the democratic systems we built and the same ideas we instilled in the populations of those colonies that helped them break away. It was a natural evolution, if somewhat expedited by the Yanks doing everything during and post ww2 to weaken our hold on it.

[an0n]

Yup.

Britain realised the colonies were more trouble then they were worth and let them go, they weren't conquered.

And we still control a ****load of territory.

[Ghostavo]

Tell me a portuguese colony that was conquered.

[an0n]

Portuguese colonies started to be attacked by Spain's opponents. Still, Portugal maintained an independent law, currency and government. The third Spanish king, Philip III tried to make Portugal a Spanish province. Because of this, in December 1, 1640, a native king, John IV, was acclaimed, and a Restoration war against Spain was made. Other new empires had emerged and started to assaulted all the Portuguese Empire; Portugal regained some, but much was lost especially in Asia.

The population massively immigrated to Brazil. In 1709, King John V prohibited emigration, since Portugal had lost a very sizable amount of population. Lisbon was destroyed in 1755 earthquake. From 1801, the country was occupied during the Napoleonic Wars, and lost Olivença (part of the national territory) to Spain (ally of France). Shortly after, the Kingdom of Brazil proclaimed its independence in 1822.
