Our father's story is simply amazing, greetings from Brazil, long live to the portuguese speaking countries.

Infelizmente há muitos brasileiros que só olham para a parte da escravatura... É verdade, mas naquela época a escravatura era praticada por todos os países com maior poder... Independentemente disso, Portugal foi dos 2 primeiros países a abolir a escravatura! Há muito para além da escravatura... Portugal tirou com uma mão, mas deu com outra... Muitos missionários a trazerem a língua, cultura, sabedoria, religião, etc aos nativos. Hoje nenhum português se orgulha de ter praticado escravatura, mas temos orgulho em ter contribuído para o desenvolvimento do Brasil e tê-lo como um país que nos é muito querido 🙂

we are not your father.

Very interesting, I´m a Brit that has made Portugal my home so this was a useful education for me. I believe that the contribution to world events by the Portuguese is rather under valued, there is a lot in Portuguese culture that I admire.

You ought to thank the Portuguese for introducing tea culture in Britain, all thanks to Catherine Braganza :)

What would I do without my Earl Grey in the morning? Thanks Catherine! :)

Hey bro! I am thinking of coming to Portugal for attending my uni . Can you give me some tips ? Should I or not bro ?

@@kaungkhanthein1054 Sure, you gonna love it. Such a small country has so many different sub-cultures and traditions. If you are a southernen and you go north you feel like a tourist. It's awesome.

I'm learning Portuguese Language. Examining their history I must say they were the most badass people of medieval era. If I'm not mistaken they held a fort in India with 40 men in the last against the Ottoman. Interesting their history I must say.

@@sumalx Thank you, I'll explore that topic of Portuguese history. As a history learner, Portuguese history really fascinate me.

@@masum_pori if you like *lies* portgee history is fascinating 😂

Yes, that battle you talked about is called "Siege of Diu", and it is indeed epic. Search for the "battle of Diu", the naval battle that gave Portuguese Dominance over the Indian Ocean, it was epic aswell. (To clarify, both battles happened in the same place but with years apart, and one was a naval battle and the other a siege)

@@masum_pori there was also the battle of cochin march were 150 portuguese soldiers defeated an army of around 80,000 ottoman and zamorin alliance, killin at least 20,000 of them and not losing a single man

I'm a brazilian but my ancestors were Portuguese I'm very proud of that. I love both countries and hope visit Portugal soon.

Good on you jock love to visit Scotland someday

Nice video, but just one clarification. Portugal was never made a province of Spain. The terms in 1580 allowed the empires to be managed separatily. Administrators of the Portuguese empire were Portuguese. of course, Portugal lost many elements of sovereignity, but not all, not by a long shot. Felipe I was a fair king, but his descendants started tearing the arrangement of 1580.

Yes, two kingdoms under one king

Unless you ask an American.

jorge6207 what interesting I always believe that Portugal in thousands yeasts only one region Iberia. Are the same people who came to Spain like Visigoth are the same people? The only complaint that Portugal should keep the monarchy or be unite with Spain. Two sisters nation One.

Agree. He was the rightfull heir. King Filipe de II of spain and King Filipe the I of Portugal. No invasion was performed but a simgle fight with the Prior of Crato

If y'all ain't been to Portugal, you're missing out. I moved here 6 years ago. I love it here: great people, great food, great scenery, and the best girls you've ever seen.

Then you don't know Brazil, speciily the part about "best girls"...

Go to the south of Brazil if you want stay safe and have a nice time, Florianópolis in Santa Catarina, is the place that rich brazilians go to spend their vacations, while foreigner turists go to Rio, and some do even worst than that, they go looking for favelas. You want a nice cozy citie, to go in the brazilian winter? Go to Gramado in Rio Grande do Sul, is there that happens the biggest Cinema festival of South America.

Flores, from Portuguese which means "flower" is an island in the administrative area of ​​the Province of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The name Flores comes from the Portuguese language "cabo de flores" which means "Cape of flowers". The name was originally given by S.M. Cabot to refer to the eastern region of the island of Flores. Finally used officially since 1636 by the Governor of the Dutch East Indies Hendrik Brouwer. A quite in-depth study by Orinbao (1969) revealed that the real name of the island of Flores was Nusa Nipa (snake island) which, from an anthropological perspective, was more useful because it contained various philosophical, cultural, and ritual traditions of the Flores people.

That's why I'm proud to be portuguese they discovered new worlds new peoples and intermarried with them probably That's my favorite subject is geography

and now we also have an island called Flores in the Azores

England and Portugal have had a peace treaty since 1340 or something like that, and never broken it. It is a very long and friendly relationship we have had.

I am sorry to say that England only kept the treaty with Portugal for it own interest. England ships would attack the Spanish coast and run for safety to Portugal. England has undermined Portugal throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Portugal and England are friends because they both consider Spain as their enemy.

A relationship that for the most part profited England... as usual

@@arnauuu1 Bullshit. Portugal benefited from peace just as much.

J C G I do not agree with you. The anglo-portuguese treaty or alliance is much more important that a stricktly militar alliance - it is a trade alliance and a kingdom's alliance. And it has been good for both parts: the portuguese and the english. Nowadays it has helped to boost the portuguese economy. In the past it helped Portugal to survive as a nation and as an empire. The portuguese empire would surely last for quite shortlier if there was not the anglo-portuguese alliance. Remember the threats which could have resulted in the loss of portuguese independence: 1385 at Aljubarrota against the castilians 1639 at Montes Claros against the spaniards, over the years in the 17th century, against the dutch at Guararapes and at Luanda, the peninsular war (1807-1812) against the french and on November the 25th of 1975 against the russian communists. All the above threats were put off, thanks to this alliance (the last stated threat was also venquished under the protection of NATO and Portugal's american allies).

Just visited Portugal! Such a beautiful country with a rich history. Why do most of my history textbooks skip this country?

I am really proud for have Portuguese ancestry!

@Abd Noun I've met alot of people from Goa, immigrants in London. They all love Portugal and proudly hold Portuguese passports. All Religions are fake so I agree with you there. All Empires of the past comitted what he would view as horrendous crimes, but its in the past. Holding people responsible for things done hundreds of years ago is stupid and backwards. Remember History, don't repeat it.

Obrigado. Only about 100 people speak a version of Portuguese in Sri Lanka. My great great grand father was jose Maria Fernando. According to Sri Lankans our ancestors simply changed their surnames but I like to do a DNA test!

is it possible to hear this version of Portuguese? I really would like to hear and know more about it. I know that Portugal had been trading and some how ruled Sri Lanka or bits of the country in XVI century but didn´t know that there were remains of Portuguese language in Sri Lanka. Also I was surprised that there are still surnames in Sri Lankapeople with Portuguese names. can you speak more about it? thanks.

@@pedropereira33 o antigo Ceilão, agora siri Lanka.

Also old portuguese is spoken in Malaya, there is a community of christian Malaysian-portuguese, descendant from portuguese sailors and traders. They are called "kristang". Portuguese were good on mixing fast with other races, forging local alliances. This was the secret about controlling such a vast territory with just 1 million population

WOOOOw I would like to hear too!!! I sing Portuguese Early Music and so I have some contact with old portuguese but regarding language evolution it remains a mystery how words developed over time so this would be absolute gold.

Fantastic country with wonderful people, great architecture, marvilous food and a fascinating history and culture. There is something about the Portuguese attitude and outlook on life that is massively appealing to me. Try to go there as often as I can and would move there in a heartbeat if I could. As many posters have already said if you haven't been there just go and see this incredible place. Believe me you won't regret it.

You are allways welcome ;) we love to receive well and to be wee received in other countries

Orgulho de ser português

Very interesting, even if Portugal is usually forgotten in the entertainment media like Hollywood and even the country doesn't put much effort to make itself known, I must say that its history as a nation is very interesting and amazing, I hope it gets some more attention like the interesting country that it is

Attention is not necessarly a good thing.

Yeah, I just want recognition in tv besides like 2 family guy clips :(

Portugal was only called Portugal and officially established as an independent country in 1143. Before that, it was called Condado Portucalense (roughly translats to Portucalian County), which was still technically under the rule of Leon-Castilla.

alguns dos momentos historicos de portugal, principalmente os belicos dariam excelentes filmes! D afonso henriques conquistou o castelo de santarem durante a noite com meia duzia de soldados subiu as muralhas pela calada, derrotou os guardas e abriu os portoes da cidade para que as tropas lusas pudessem entrar. Durante a batalha dos atoleiros, o exercito portugues com menos que metade que o exercito espanhol, atraves de inumeras armadilhas e uso do arco longo ingles conseguiu que as linhas espanholas ficassem de tal forma desordenadas que os espanhois fugiram ao pensar que o rei tinha morrido depois de verem o estandarte castelhano cair . No periodo das descobertas os portugueses lutaram contra os otomanos que dominavam o oceano indico e destruiram por completo a marinha turca de tal forma que este perderam por completo o controlo das rotas maritimas para a india. Penso que se hollywood fosse num pais lusofono teriamos uma serie de filmes epicos bem interessantes.

Se fosse no Brasil por exemplo acho que a história que eles contavam era que nós fomos ao Brasil roubar o ouro deles

FORÇA PORTUGAL, VIVA PORTUGAL! 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

Portugal benefited a lot from strategic geniuses who popped up throughout history, and also very hard blunders from the adversaries. You could call it luck, sure, but doesn't undermine what was achieved back then, but the luck ran out really fast after the death of D. Sebastião, empires don't last, but history remains.

Viriatus was murdered by 3 of his followers that were bribed by the Romans to do so, however, the Romans condemn treason and shamed the traitors even as that granted them victory over the Lusitanians. Great Video!

"Rome do not pay to traitors"

​@@rafaelmarques2920 Não tenha provas do contrário, mas não creio que um povo como os Romanos tenha declinado tais serviços ou sido tão...moralista. Mas suponho que isso que Viriato tenha sido um adversário formidável o suficiente para ser morto pelas costas.

@@fabioribeiro4627 era ironia, Roma era conhecida não só por pagar a traidores como por muito mais

*was murdered, not “has murdered”. Huuuuge difference.

Eles nunca foram subornados. Aliás já tinham a ideia na cabeça antes de irem terem com os Romanos e o pior é que eles nem eram Lusitanos, não percebo como pôde confiar neles. Quanto ao que fizeram aos traídores também tenho as minhas dúvidas mas por não me recordar bem dessa parte não desminto. Sei apenas que os romanos não eram propriamente como os descreve. Durante o tempo de Viriato e antes, foram registadas bastantes ações desonrosas por parte deles, umas que até considero traição.

Also Portuguese sailors were first Europeans to set foot on Taiwan (BEFORE EVEN Red Chinese claims!) They were the ones that called the island Formosa! I grew up on Taiwan--so I know its history better than Xi!!

I do not know where you heard that, I never did. When Portuguese reached Japan they found a rich culture, interesting people and a close society.

@@ricardorocha813 Não fomos "nós" (we), foram os nossos antepassados. Quanto às armas de fogo elas tecnicamente foram inventadas pelos chineses visto que foram eles que inventaram a pólvora. E quanto aos escravos houve escravos de quase todos os continentes até da europa. Embora a maioria fosse de àfrica e da zona da India.

@@1individeo Todo o seu comentário é despropositado e errado. A pólvora foi inventada em vários locais diferentes, embora se conheça o seu mais antigo uso na pirotecnia Chinesa.!! Esta é um produto altamente inflamável, que arde com violência, e quando contida num recipiente fechado, explode, devido à elevada pressão, quase instantaneamente criada. Foram os Europeus os primeiros que a aplicaram em armas, COMO PROPELENTE, pois os Chineses só a usavam na ponta de lanças ou flechas, como meio incendiário. ( E fogo de artifício).!! Foram, na realidade, os Portugueses que introduziram as armas de fogo não só no isolado Japão, como quase por todas as partes do mundo, por onde andaram.... Quase que arriscaria a dizer, que a invenção da pólvora não tem nada a ver com a invenção das armas de fogo, mas, sim, que as armas de fogo foram inventadas por causa da existência da pólvora.!!! PS: Nunca os Portugueses tiveram escravos Japoneses.!!! Leia sobre a história do Japão, e saberá que isso seria impossível.!!!

in the end, about the revolution, you missed the part where portugal was at war with the colonies bcz they wanted independence for more than 10 years until the revolution that ended the dictatorship, but overall its a good video! :) and one other thing, Sebastião de Melo, is best know as The Marquis de Pombal.

The food is cheap like everything else, we're also one of the most pour countries of Western Europe

If you like a more low key and relaxing vacation, check out St. Michael (or any of the Azores Islands). Especially if you are an American... the islands are closer to the US and English is widely spoken (everyone there has family in the US, so they really like Americans). The scenery is beautiful — semi-tropical and volcanic, with a rugged coastline and fields that remind me of Ireland. If you go in May, the Hydrangeas are amazing — they form massive hedgerows diving fields and they just go on for miles.

I think that something should be said about the importance of the Knights Templar and how King Denis saved them to their mutual advantage by creating The Order of Christ which was a cover for the Knights Templar. Also their role in the Reconquista.

If you want to learn more about the knights templars visit the small village called Tomar with it presents it self as a Nights Templar town , just incredible place to visit.

@@rwhaller42 Sorry Rich I don't have Facebook account. But I visited Tomar last June , the hall village is incredibly visited the Castle and Convent just amazing.

Templars were taken by King Denis of Portugal and changed their name into Order of Christ. Prince Henry the Navigator was the leader of the Order of Christ, hence, the portuguese Kingdom was in fact a Templar Kingdom in secret! A lot of secrets about foreign lands, maps, routes, etc that once were in Jerusalem were brought to Portugal.

Did you hear about the templar tresure? Know what is it? I tell you, is a whole nation, and this nation is Brazil.

Hello. Nice. Just a small correction - Braga is a city which existed since the Celtic occupation. When the Romans got there, the city already existed

True, there are pre-Roman Celtic Ruins here.

@@FaithfulOfBrigantia you are absolutely right and in fact, even its name comes from its Celtic name, which means that the name Romans gave it was in fact actually an adaptation of its Celtic name

@Jean Jacque Lundi Braga derives from Bracara Augusta. The pre-Roman name would have been something approximate to Bracara.

E Braga significa cueca em espanhol. Isto é lindo hahahaha

Congratulations on this video! It is hard to find this kind of accurate content on YouTube Thank you só much ❤️

King Filipe II of Spain and I of Portugal did not invade Portugal, he was a legitimate claimant to the throne of Portugal.

Bom trabalho. Obrigado. 🇵🇹

My birthplace :D Viva Portugal!!

I heard that the treaty of Windsor came about when English crusaders stopped off to pick up some lemons and joined in fighting the hated Muslims. They set fire to Faro and got thanked for it. BFFEs! Also that Wellington was very popular for bringing his own food + more, and he got the Portuguese to go along with his scorched earth plan+ to stuff Napoleon.  & it worked. But my favourite (apocryphal?) story is about Salazar`s last years; when he thought he was still running the show, (from his sick-bed) No one told him, but all his declarations, decrees and documents etc were going in the bin.

Just a side note. King Philip II didn't merge the two kingdoms. He was the king of 2 kingdoms. The Iberian Union was a name given to the alliance and the fact that both were ruled by the same king, but they were still seperate kingdoms. 1 king, 2 kingdoms.

Love Portugal, thank you for the video.

Thanks for watching felt it was one of the most underrated European countries so deserved a video

@@AJMerrick Oh certainly and you definitely did it justice.

I'm from Goa. A state in India which was discovered by Vasco da Gama and ruled for over 450 years by the Portuguese. It was so much better back then. Now Goa is a part of India which in my opinion sucks.

Now you have people who moved in from other regions pooping all over the streets in Goa it was much cleaner back then. I hope you keep your culture and food and continue to speak Portuguese I find your culture including the architecture fascinating but sorry I can't visit I don't like to see and smell poop everywhere. From people who have been there before independence and recently it's also getting too crowed with non Goans. What makes Goa special was that mixing of cultures that occurred. Fight to keep your culture it is special.

Hi Rachel I am from India...

Why do you feel Goa was better under the colonists rather than your own people? What changed in how the area is run, or the faith, or general society?

@@gandalfthegrey6575 when goa back in 1800 catholic were 60% of pop there...it was more western and Portuguese...now goa catholic are only 25% pop of goa...there is a Hindu conspiracy to reduce catholic pop in Goa to marginalize Christian in Goa...they want to create a Hindu India and goa is their one of main target since it is one of the area where there are large non hindu population in india...along with Punjab Jammu Kashmir Mizoram Nagaland Meghalaya Kerela Arunachal Assam and Manipur...

@@gandalfthegrey6575 There's people from other parts of India are flooding Goa...the problem is these people have a very different culture, beliefs, lifestyle etc.. also, there's a lot of corruption and the true identity of Goa is lost being a part of India. I wish the Portuguese had never left.

Both sides of my family came from the mainland and azores in the 1860s. My grandparents were the last gen to teach the language, one day when I can speak fluently I hope to visit.

Portugal has a their share in the history and discovery of the Philippines ( Filipina speaking here...), it is because of that Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan... Who named the Philippines it's name, as a gift to King Felipe of Spain.

this is what? you're 20th account you created just to say portgee crap??

His name is Fernão de Magalhães .Altough he was portuguese and half the crue in that expedition were portuguese , he was working for Spain , wich makes it spanish and phillipine history.

This video is an extremely summarised account of my national history, and regarding it as such I think it is not bad. However, I would like to make the following criticisms: - The Alans were not Germans but Aryans from the Eurasian Steppe (most likely some kind of Scythian)! (BIG BLUNDER!) - The narrator says "Portugal remained an independent state under the first few Spanish kings, until king Philip IV...". This is misleading as Portugal had only 3 Spanish kings in total, who comprise its 3rd dynasty, the Philippine Dynasty. They were Philip II and Philip III before Philip IV of Spain. Furthermore, though not as evidently tyrannical nor severely unjust as their successor, the first two Philips also oppressed Portugal through neglect, mismanagement and occasionally blatant appropriation and allocation into Spain of institutions, people and assets that represented Portugal's superiority over Spain in many areas like finance, science, seafaring and horse breeding. To end with a positive note: Thank you for acknowledging that Portuguese colonisation was strikingly less oppressive than that of its contemporary empires!

To be fair, King Filipe II of Spain didn't just invade and annexed Portugal because he wanted a Iberian Union, he had legitimate rights to the Portuguese crown being that he was King Sebastian cousin, and he died with no heir. Most Portuguese aristocracy supported Filipe's claim at the time. Also the Carnation Revolution being pacific and happening without shots being fired it's largely a myth. 5 people died when the secret police of the State opened fire on a crowd of people protesting in front of their HQ. Otherwise great video!

I love Portugal, Lisbon has such a nice vibe and is stunning.. Then I went to Porto and was even more blown away. Such a gem! Great video, I hope for history of Norway which is very interesting until the black death arrived.

🇵🇹❤️

Thank you for this amazing video about my country!

Grateful for these Ancestors, may we all be reunited❤️🔥🌿

Im a simple man I hear Batalha de Aljubarrota...i click like

Same as i get hype once columbus is mentioned..😂

Same happends to me every time I hear 25 de Abril

No! 😂

Alcazarquibir is the beast one hell of a Battle with the Portuguese gunpowder blowing everything into smithereens, too.💣💥😂🤣

@@joselugo4536 That Battle was 23,000 Portuguese, 2,000 Castilians, 600 Italians, 3,000 German mercenaries and 6,000 moors. Do you really think that legitimate of numbers can defeat 53,000 Moroccans with the help of ottomans?

I Live in Portugal and I Love it .

loving poverty in portgeeland is a negative not a +🤣

Portuguese may not be the biggest language, but its legacy is the hundreds of loanwords in modern Asian languages. Every major Asian language has a collection of Portuguese words.

Traces of a glorious past made by outstanding people that were able to survive in small numbers all across Asia by learning local customers, languages and... Mixing with other races

Porto even has a nickname: A Cidade Invicta ("The Undefeated City") :)

It was defeated multiple times though.

@@gabkoost Invicta means invincible in Portuguese. This nickname is coming from the 19th Century Portuguese civil war, when Porto was never conquered and even survived a siege that lasted more than a year :) Source Internet :D

@@as._dea1599 But it was conquered multiple times across it's history. Therefore, it's not invicta technically.

One of the BEST videos on Portuguese history thank you From a half-portuguese person

I love being Portuguese My Pops Was Born In Coimbra Portugal🇵🇹🇵🇹

@@goncalooguine Yeah always I saw my pops family when he passed. An yeah it's sad to Coimbra go like dat needs more respect

Gods of Oceans 🇵🇹

Portugal é avô de nós Brasileiros !!

Como dizemos em Portugal: " O Brasil foi dos grandes presentes que Portugal deu ao mundo"

Olá netinho!

"avô de nós"?? Essa fase não existe em português.

A maioria dos portugueses prefer dizer que somos irmãos.

O certo não seria pais? Não é como se tivesse algum intermediário entre Portugal e Brasil

I wouldn't say King Philip the second from Spain "invaded" Portugal. He was named true King of Portugal by the portuguese in 1581, at the Convent of Cristo, in the city of Tomar. The King's mother was princess Isabel from Portugal.

Now I have a bit of understanding as to how a nation of small population made so much contribution as to navigation and cultural diversity. No wonder spain employed Ferdinand Magellan, he was Portuguese a great navigator. Portugal is simply amazing. And I always thought Japan was first "discovered" by the Dutch.

Colombo was also portuguese, it is a long history, we have lots of provs but of course our neighbors and other influents countries don't like the idea. One day the true will be revealed.

First Europeans to arrive to Japan and Thailand =Portuguese Caralho!

Filipe didnt invade, he was heir to the portuguese crown. but even under them portugal ddnt become spain. portugal and spain were two diferent countries that shared the same king but never become one country. when the Fellipe the third try do make portugal spain he ended the with a rebelion and lost the portuguese crown

In the beginning was county and the real name or first name, was Portucale 👍good video 👍🇵🇹

Love 🇵🇹 from 🇬🇧

Great round up over centuries!

My parents still say Hong Kong and Macao were better under the UK and Portugal.

Henning Gu they will be better without the communists, not with us(Portugal) because they deserve their right to their own history and country

Strongest people of the world CARALHO !!!!

Hey, thanks for the video. I would love if someone would watch that comment. I am having a paper and I was wondering more things about the transition of Portugal from a drepublic to a dictatorship in the beginning of 20th century. More extended reasons, also how come Estado Novo, lasted that much? Thank you

Maybe it's too late for an answer but here it goes (summarized): The transition to the dictatorship happened because the first Republic was very bad in terms of managing the country and governments were unstable. The dictatorship "Estado Novo" lasted so long because it included brainwashing the people from infants, teaching them to obey the President Salazar. Also there was a very powerful secret police called PIDE with a huge network of informants that was able to suppress dissidents by putting them to prison, torturing them and killing them. The dictatorship only ended after Salazar died.
