As a Cuban-American living in the USA, my DNA is mostly from Spain and Portugal as everyone from my grandparents from both my mom and dad's side are from those countries. Also, I have always been fascinated with 15th to 18th century Galleons and have personally built about 20 of them. I have either sold them, or gave some away to good friends and co-workers through the years butIi don't make them any more. Hope to visit Spain and Portugal in the near future as I enjoy traveling and learning about different cultures! Thank you for your time! JC
Why do not talk about the templars that after the crusades they were given lands and property in Portugal. They were key to the development of Portugal.
Portugal was one of the richest and most developed nations in Europe at the time of D. Dinis (1261-1325), the vision and entrepreneurial capacity allowed the royal treasury to dispose of funds to make loans to its neighboring kings, as documented in the chronicles: ao rei of Aragon and the King of Castile. It also allowed him to be generous in the gifts he made whenever he went on diplomatic missions. Numerous Europeans, coming from France, England, Italy, Germany and other places, came to live in Portugal, taking advantage of the dynamism that the king gave and due to the more favorable and abundant situation in Portugal. The Iberian Peninsula was known for its abundant resources even before the Romans and grew more than the rest of the European areas. “It grows even more in the 9th-10th century, being the richest area in the 10th century and this growth is never stopped. Christian gains must be understood by this growth.” To this we must add a series of "favorable circumstances", among them their stable monarchies, with the kingdom of Castile and Aragon "very organized, composed of a warrior society with warriors who were created in the border struggle". Portugal, for its part, seeks above all “control of the Atlantic, where it has invested heavily, and allows it to conquer a position of global leadership, especially in what will later be called Brazil”. In the distribution of the new lands, other western European kingdoms are excluded for various reasons”, as can be seen by the thousands of famines in northern Europe, by the countless migrations from northern Europe to Portuguese territory over almost every century, in the last thousands of years and, finally, by the large number of monuments, documents, churches and castles that exist in much greater numbers in the Iberian Peninsula. The so-called Great Famine was restricted to northern Europe, including the British Isles, northern France, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Germany and western Poland. In the north, crops were very often destroyed by cold weather, rain, hail and frost. The famine was limited to the south by the Alps and the Pyrenees. Famines were familiar occurrences in medieval Europe. Localized famines occurred in the Kingdom of France during the 14th century in 1304, 1305, 1310, 1315-1317 (the Great Famine), 1330-1334, 1349-1351, 1358-1360, 1371, 1374-1375, and 1390. England, there were additional famines in 1321, 1351 and 1369. Even King Edward II himself in 1315 could not get bread. But it was in Scandinavia that famines were more intense and constant, the cold climate and low light made famines prevail over time. That's why they were forced to risk their lives in stormy seas to steal from other peoples in order to survive, living with the limitations and uncertainties that war always determines. Hence the lack of monuments and constructions of the time, because only a society with resources that guarantee food, with a stable agriculture, peace and confidence in the future, can achieve this. There is still great confusion about this, due to what was romanticized and fictionalized, or just built more recently, at the end of the 19th century but described as medieval. The truth of northern European reality has been transformed into fictional tales about princes and princesses wrapped in wealth, but the documentary and monumental truth is completely different. Furthermore, the Nazi office of falsification of historical facts, manipulated the Nordic weakness to appear as "superior to everything". Added to this is the poverty caused by the endless wars over territorial limits that destroyed and ruined the resources of European countries, but which in Portugal no longer existed (*with rare exceptions), as Portugal was the first country in Europe to have its border limits demarcated . Hence the Lusitanian nation, with a stable present, turned to the future and looked to the unknown world, to the sea beyond and how to create and develop the technological and scientific means to get there. There is positional and internal organization so that the countries of the peninsula have an undisputed hegemony. In Iberia, the climate was warm, mild, the region was diverse and crossed by countless rivers that irrigated the land and served as transport routes, connecting and transporting the economy of this region full of varied resources, from the sea rich in fish, to to the interior of the Iberian Peninsula and vice versa. In addition, agriculture evolved a lot, with the introduction of new Arab cultivation and irrigation techniques, hitherto unknown in Europe. The great scientific, technical, maritime and human development that Portugal created to travel around the world and beyond, was prepared over the centuries and that is why Portugal made Europe rich and developed, changing its small, poor, closed, in the medieval era, on the continent that lead the world to this day. D. Dinis established a centralizing policy, articulated with important economic promotion actions, such as the creation of numerous municipalities and fairs. He ordered the exploitation of copper, silver, tin and iron mines and organized the export of surplus production to other European countries. Foreign trade - Cereal production soon surpasses domestic consumption and Portugal becomes an exporting kingdom, establishing commercial relations with ports in Catalonia, Brittany, Flanders and England, signing the first commercial treaty with Edward II of England in 1308. Wine, olive oil, salt, salted fish and dried fruit are also exported to these ports. Even abroad, Portuguese merchants began to gain privileges: Philip IV of France donated privileges to Portuguese merchants on two occasions, in 1290 and in 1310, on this date specifically to the merchants of Harfleur. Once the Reconquest was concluded, Dinis I of Portugal became interested in foreign trade, organizing exports to European countries. In 1293 he instituted the so-called Bolsa dos Mercadores, a maritime insurance fund for the numerous Portuguese merchants residing in the County of Flanders, who paid certain sums according to tonnage, which reverted to their benefit if necessary. Algarve wine and chestnuts were sold in Flanders and England, salt from the Lisbon, Setúbal and Aveiro regions were profitable exports to Northern Europe, as were leather and Kermes, a scarlet dye. Internal trade - This commercial increase resulted in an increase in the number of fairs. Dinis continues his father's impulse in this field: the regions of Entre Douro e Minho, Beira and Alentejo were covered with fairs, namely tax free fairs, that is, fairs with privileges and exemptions. To avoid dependence on neighboring states for the transport of goods, he ordered the construction of ships in the kingdom's shipyards. The country claims leadership in trade between the North Atlantic and the South and therefore, the king lays the foundations for the construction of innovative ships, which combine the characteristics of resistant Atlantic ships, with the lightness and versatility of navigability in the Mediterranean. Foreign sailors even came to combine specific knowledge of their maritime regions, with what Portuguese specialists and researchers were looking for and this is how the Genoese Manuel Pessanha is attributed the position of admiral as a privilege, founding a true Portuguese navy at the service of the Crown and the Kingdom. He pursued relevant judicial reforms, instituted the Portuguese language as the official language of the court, created one of the first European Universities, freed the Military Orders in the national territory from foreign influences and continued to systematically increase royal centralism. In a time of national affirmation of economic prosperity and peace led by a king with an administrative and economic vocation, it would confirm the continuation of the use of new money as opposed to old money. There is also a novelty in a silver alloy coin, with its name Tornes. This coin is a reflection of the success of the coin in France and a sign of growing trade in Europe. It was also a credibility mechanism showing that there was good silver currency in Portugal. A monarch more devoted to economics and the arts than to war, he developed a policy of monetary stability and boosted the economy, especially agriculture. He promoted the extraction of various minerals, the creation of fairs and the development of the navy. "In these lands, countless knights from France became residents, who integrated themselves into local life. Their descendants, already assumed themselves completely as Portuguese". During his reign, D. Dinis founded 44 villages throughout his kingdom, including the village of Atouguia. In them he built and repaired his castles. He created one of the top 3 universities in Europe, the University of Coimbra / Lisbon. Cultivated and curious about letters and science, he would have stimulated the translation into Portuguese of many important works, among them the treatises of his grandfather Afonso X, the Wise. In this way, his Court was one of the greatest literary centers in Europe.
It’s kinda sad that because history is written by the victors most of this knowledge is lost but my mission is to change that by showing the portuguese side of history 💪🏻
I've been to Lisbon, I visited the museum of the Portuguese navy - it is no coincidence that it was much larger and with better exhibitions than the army museum... In it I found a special presentation of a archaeological excavation of a ship which foundered in the Tejo estuary during the early 18th century. The greatest cost with sailing vessels wasn't the metal for cannons and fittings but the timber for the hull. It helped that ever since king Dennis (Diniz in Portuguese) the nation has been one of the most wooded country of all of southern Europe, he ordered extensive forest planting for expressed benefit of the navy. Portugal is nowadays one of the big exporters of wood product in the world. But there was more to it than availability of timber, studying the excavated shipwreck showed that there was something to the construction too. Ever since the Viking ship age ships in the Atlantic have been built with sturdy frames the board of the hull was nailed onto. In this ship though the frames were much thinner but also much tighter together, and nailed together with the neighbouring frames. Thus could Portuguese shipwrights use the valuable timber more sparingly and still build very seaworthy vessels. It is no coincidence that the navy Royal Navy had most respect for during the age of sails was the Portuguese one... As men-of-war went, the Portuguese vessels were less solid than British vessels but cheaper and faster to construct, and manned by sailors of expertise only matched but not exceeded by Royal Navy.
I never knew that the wood industry in Portugal was directly connected to the ancient kingdoms and ship construction, wow I might make a video about that as well in the future, thank you 🙏
@@Culturiosity i'll leave you a link to a great doc about the ships in the age of discoveries, you might get some ideas for new videos. ua-cam.com/video/ppjekjrFsYw/v-deo.html
Yes i remember this excavation. But The british learnd ship building, navigation and sea routes via mapes from the portuguese not the other way around.
Tenho muito orgulho da nossa História e da nossa Cultura. Hoje somos pequenos e os outros não sabem quem fomos, mas o sangue de aventureiros conquistadores correrá nas nossas veias para sempre. Viva Portugal!
After the crusades the templars moved to Portugal and were given land and property. Famous templars castles and temples ruins are all over Portugal. They help the rulers with knowledge and experience.
Portugal 🇵🇹 has protected persecuted Templar Knights and founded the Order of Christ (red cross with a white cross inside it as it insignia, wich is the real cross displayedon Portuguese Conqueror Ships) wich D. Henrique was a member. The Templar knights were protected by Portugal inside the Order of Christ and shared their knowledge among Portuguese Nobility, ones as D. Henrique. One of Portuguese project was to own South America, wich they did. While in a route to India, Pedro Alvares Cabral made an detour to take possession of Brazil (then named Vera Cruz Lands) leaving Portuguese Stones Landmarks all over Brazilian Cost before going into the sea to India 🇮🇳. I am Brazilian. DNA 45% Occidental Europe, 35% Portuguese, 10% Inca and Astec and 1% from various minor sources.
It wasnt England, it was Portugal who created the Galleon! In fact when English corsairs captured a Portuguese Galleon, when it was receiving water, they took it to England and everyone stayed astonished about how it was possible to build such a big ship. It took 100 years after Portugal, for England to make Galleons!
@@angelcamachodelsolar No it wasnt the Spanish. the Portuguese were in the ship avantguard in all the fields. That is why in the Battle of Tunez 1535, the king of Spain and Emperor of the Holy German Roman Empire Carlos V asked to the King of Portugal for the Galleon São João Baptista, known as Botafogo, the most powerful ship in the world of its time, which started the battle and was the one that managed to break the "insurmountable" iron chain that blocked the port of Tunez. In that battle, Botafogo was commanded by Infante D. Luís, brother of King D. João III of Portugal and brother-in-law of Emperor Carlos V. When Carlos V requested naval support from Portugal, he specifically mentioned Botafogo. The Portuguese galleon called S. João Baptista, in which the emperor of Germany, and king of Spain, Charles V, went with his brother-in-law, our infant Dom Luiz, called Delicias de Portugal, to the conquest of Tunis against the famous corsair Heredim Barba-Rôxa, not only is it celebrated for being the largest ship, which in the seas of Europe oppressed the waves, as it threw 366 bronze pieces, and being round it contained 600 musketeers, 400 sword and rodella soldiers, and 300 artillerymen; but it is also famous for the talhamar, or large saw made of very fine steel, which it had on its bow, to break the Goleta chain; which could not be achieved the first time, but rather the second time, in which Infante Dom Luiz ordered the pilot to put to sea with a wider turn, and with the sails all in the wind [prevention that had been lacking in the first] he invested the chain with such furious and vehement momentum that it tore it to pieces, raising a great saw of water. The galleon entered the river, like the horseman following good luck, and began to launch so much lightning on the fortifications of the infidels, that from here came the name, which the common people repeat [still today], calling it the galleon botafogo. With him, without a doubt, he made it easier, and managed to conquer Goleta, which seemed impregnable, on the 13th of July in the year 1535.
@@binalcensored2104 I already knew the story of "Botafogo", thank you. But it has nothing to do with the fact that the galleon was actually invented by the Spanish.
@@angelcamachodelsolar The Spanish all try to steal everything from Portugal, even picked up an insignificant subaltern and try to make him an heroe. I am glad being independent!
@@angelcamachodelsolar Portugal has Galleons since 1518, Spain only built Galleons after 70 years, that is, only after the Iberian Union and the union of the Spanish Portuguese fleet did Spain begin to build galleons in large numbers. It was only 100 years after the Portuguese that the English built galleons. Despite Cristovao Columbo. Fernando Magalhaes sailed on Portuguese ships and even faced the fact that Portugal alone conquered the Indian Ocean. Winning battles against the Arab and Ottoman armadas, against Chinese, Indian and Asian pirates and corsairs and defeating them alone, all European countries despise the enormous scientific technical evolution of the Portuguese and create fictions to only masturbate their ultranationalist ego. However, only the truth allows us to evolve, while lies make us regress.
The Galleon was a ship invented from 1518, by the Portuguese as a weapon to give a proper answer to the Indias Career, to the big ships coming from India full of very valuable cargo. There are records of the powerful Portuguese Galleon Sao Joao Baptista in 1535 leading the attack of the Christian Armada to Tunez, which proves that only the Portuguese has such a powerful ships on that date. In a leaflet written in the time of King D. João III, it is said that its keel was the length and a half of the largest ship in India. The number of people he transported to the capture of Goleta could also be used to judge the extraordinary dimensions of this ship, truly extraordinary for that time. In addition to the crew, which would have been very numerous to be able to sail a similar ship, it took on board 600 musketeers, 400 men with swords and rodelas, and 300 artillerymen. In addition to including 366 bronze pieces. As historians point out, this galleon had a steel tackle on the beck, with which, in the second attack, it broke the iron chain with which the moors closed the entrance to the port of Goleta. There is even Tapestry of the series The Conquest of Tunis designed by Jan Cornelis Vermeyen & woven by Wilhelm de Pannemaker in 1549-1551, in there we can see the Galleon St John Baptist nicknamed Bota Fogo "Set Fire". It is undeniable that the aforementioned galleon, to which the people gave the name "Bota Fogo" due to the great amount of fire vomited from itself, rendered great service in that memorable action, not only due to the activity of its fire, but also because it was directed in a superior position, which was the cavalier of the other ships of the fleet and of the port's own batteries. This galleon was built in Portas do Mar, one of the navy arsenals in Lisbon, by master João Gallego; which began on August 29, 1533, and which, employing 230 workers in its construction, launched into the sea on June 24 of the following year. In other words, at least since 1534 we have evidence that galleons were already being built in Portugal. The fact that Charles V of Habsburg, the emperor of Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, part of France and Italy, as well as king of Spain, specifically asked the king of Portugal for the Galleon St John Baptist to lead the attack to Tunez in 1535, demonstrates that only Portugal had such a powerful ship and only Portugal had galleons. There are reports of the construction of Portuguese galleons since 1518 and in Spain just seven decades later. England only built its first galleon 100 years later.
The Portuguese invented naos and carracks, the galleon is an Spanish invention. The first reference to the "Botafogo" mentions the "great galleon São João" sailing in a convoy to Guinea, under the command of Duarte Coelho in 1532. According to you, it was built in 1534, so we can see how bad your data is. The fact that in its time it was the largest ship of its type does not automatically mean that the Portuguese invented the galleon. Furthermore, many experts describe the Botafogo as a carrack, not a galleon.
I quote your words: " There are reports of the construction of Portuguese galleons since 1518 and in Spain just seven decades later. England only built its first galleon 100 years later." end of the quote.
If my maths don't fool me that would be in 1588... According to the history that you can easily check: The galleon is an early 16th century Spanish invention consisting of an armed transport, which will eventually evolve into the war galleon. The first mention of the galleon was given in Spain in 1509, when in an account of the conquest of Oran the galleon of Count Pedro Navarro is mentioned. The second in 1516 when Bernal Brunet's galleon of 100 tons is mentioned in the Navy for Oran.
The first fleet of the "Carrera de Indias" is formed in 1542 to defend against pirate attacks. In 1550 the Spanish admiral don Álvaro de Bazan begins the development of the Transport Galleon to War Galleon. In the first "Flota de Indias" (1564) the escort was formed by 8 war galleons. The first Manila Galleon was in 1565.
And here they still lack, according to you, 23 years (1588) for the Spanish to have their first galleon … By the way, in order not to build galleons until 1618 (as you say), Francis Drake (english) circumnavigated the world in his galleon Golden Hind between 1577 and 1580. Even the English Wikipedia says that the galleon is a Spanish invention. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galleon Stop making things up.
@@angelcamachodelsolar Can hardly call it a Spanish invention my man. Also keep in mind the destruction of Portuguese history after 1755 when they were losing territories. It was Spain Vs Portugal back then. Spain won in time, wrote the history. The only ones who really care about the separation in cultures are the Spanish and the Portuguese which is why we have our modern confusion. You are confident in the very vague and ambiguous picture that is painted due to what little survived. Just keep in mind: What empires were controlling everything? Who were allied up? Who REALLY did what first? And who won in the end? Also, FYI, nothing you mentioned actually points to Spain inventing it lol.
@@Gomgo22 Unlike you, I provide data. You simply deny it, you do not provide anything to confirm your denial, so it is hollow and useless. Neither you nor I were there to find out, but the documents that, as you say, have survived, say that it was a Spanish invention. If you have discovered a document that says otherwise, you should share it with the community of historians. It wouldn't be the first time something like this happens. Until then, and I feel very sorry for you, the galleon was invented by the Spanish
@@angelcamachodelsolar Like I said, nothing you showed points to it being a Spanish invention. Spain mass produced it along with everyone else. Portugal created that platform that allowed the galeão to exist. Botafogo was the firat Galeão that we know. One big issue with this is the name. Galleon, Galeão, Man-at-War. They're all the same thing called different names by different people in different countries. Each country added their own details to the technology Portugal laid out for them. Also, you bash me for my lack of sources. My friend history is my life. The history changes with different primary sources depending on what country you are in. I know this because I went to different places, saw these things first hand. I was almost insulted in finding out just how little wikipedia has. Back then this wouldn't even be an argument. If it were, it would probably be this: Portuguese man: "Portugal made the Galeão!!" Spanish man: "Yeah but Spain made it better." You don't see the Italians trying to claim they invented noodles. It's super relevant to their cultural history, but they know it came from China. It doesn't change history man. The end result is the same.
@@Luzitanium a lot smaller than Russia, Canada, USA, China, India, Australia, etc... heck even significantly smaller than smaller countries like France, Germany or its neighboring Spain. It just is what it is. But size means little. The quality of lifer for its inhabitants, that's what matters. There's a difference between being "big" and being "great". Portugal may not be big but it certainly has its greatness.
Meu irmão, os Galeões também foram inventados pelos Portugueses, está historicamente comprovado que os tugas tinham embarcações iguais e ainda mais impressionantes
There are no Portuguese conquests before 1415. Spain sailed before Portugal, and we had more naval experience in war. A Spanish fleet conquered Sicily in 1282 (1282-1759). Another fleet of Spanish conquered Athens in 1311 (1311-1379). Also Corsica and Sardinia in 1326. We defeated the English fleet at La Rochelle 1372, sinking 48 ships. Spanish invasion of southern England in 1377, 1380-81 and 1411. Before Henry the Navigator was born, Spain already had lands in Africa: Djerba, Tunisia, 1380. When Henry the Navigator was 10 years old, the Spanish were already in the Canary Islands , 1404 (but there were Spanish settlers before, in 1341). The only thing Portugal did in the entire 15th century was reach Ceuta in 1415, Madeira in 1419, Azores in 1427. And explore the west African coast. That is important, but it is not a European power nor is it a global empire nor is it the beginning of exploration navigation in Africa. In 1442, the Spanish of the Aragon empire defeated the French in Italy, conquering the entire kingdom of Naples and Sardinia. Spain arrived in America in 1492. It was the first time that a power crossed the Ocean at the time of the discoveries. Spain is on 3 continents. Portugal in Portugal and Africa. Portugal was never a greater power than Spain. The great moment of Portugal begins in 1500, when they arrived in India in 1498 and Brazil in 1500. These are the 20 years in which Portugal is on 4 continents and Spain on 3. But Spain annexes the Netherlands and Franche-Comté in 1519, and The Spanish king, Carlos I, is also named emperor of Germany. In 1520 Spain reached the fourth and fifth continents, crossing the entire Pacific Ocean for the first time, which is half of the earth. But Portugal did have, as you say, a good tradition of sailors, and they expanded throughout Africa and Asia, with multiple colonies: Mozambique, Kenya, Arabia, Oman, China, India, Indonesia, Ceylon, Japan. Spain did it in the Philippines, then Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Taiwan and almost all the archipelagos of the deep Pacific Ocean, including Hawaii (16th century Spanish map) and New Zealand (16th century Spanish helmet there) But I consider that it was a parallel expansion of the two Iberian countries. Only 1 in 7 Jews left Spain in 1492. The rest became Catholic. And they did not choose Portugal especially, but went to the Turkish empire or Italy, where there are still tens of thousands of Sephardim who speak ancient Spanish. The Jews of Portugal were also forced to become Christians in 1496
Pelo amor de deus nem era espanha e sim varios reinos separados sabes tanto a espanha tinha medo de portugal no seculo 16 portugal emitiu um aviso de guerra à espanha e ela se cagou de medo e foi contar ao papa porque o territorio que colombo descobriu na verdade estava na zona de portugal e os portugueses queriam reinvidicar e a espnha foi fazer quixinhas po papa e assim o papa junto com os dois reino criaram o tratado de tordesilhas mas fds espanha n era nd tinha medo de portugal espanhois filhos da puta
You ignorant FOOL. The Spanish State did not exist until Isabella and Fernado married at the end of 15th Century. It was not Spain, not even Castile, but the Catalans from the Aragonese State (Kingdom) which took Sicily and even Athens, you fool. If you are not a doctor in History, better SHUT YOUR MOUTH and STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION.
AHAHAAH I can feel your sweat as you type this comment, you've typed literal Bibles in other persons comments aswell Spain didn't even exist in 1282 and had little to no influence in north Africa besides some raids here and there Your spanish Ceuta still has the portuguese flag A true global empire is having land all over the world, not conquering or raiding the neighboor - hence GLOBAL "...the only thing Portugal did in the entire 15th century..." that "only thing" was and still is more impressive than the moon landing "Portugal was never a greater power than Spain" depends, what are you comparing and your definition of Spain? Because if it is naval power then it was BY A LONG SHOT, hence the treaty of Tordesillas was made, otherwise Castille *could* defeat Portugal on land (did try decades before with french help but failed miserably, see Battle of Aljubarrota) but it could never win on the sea Your "Spain" had to hire outsiders to sail the unknown world - discover America (Columbus, possibly portuguese) and circumnavigate the world (Magalhães, a portuguese) Iberian Union was only possible because the Portuguese king died in Morocco and the Spanish king also had portuguese blood and was the best successor in line. Spain has never conquered Portugal. Not before, not now and never will. Don't bother in writing another bible, I won't read.
hola amigo tienes razón en lo que dices es verdad pero España tuvo un impacto global muy importante hoy hablan español más de 625 millones de personas osea es muchísimo hay hispanos por todo el mundo saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷🇪🇦🙋
You are telling HALF TRUTHS, KID. Before the union of Castile and Aragon SPAIN DID NOT EXIST AS A STATE. The conquest of Athens and the Italian island in the mediterranean was made by CATALONIA, not Castile, YOU FOOL BAMBINO. I just read the first 5 lines of your essay, and stopped, believing the next paragraph would consist also of HALF TRUTHS. Grow up and stop competing against our fellow Portuguese Christians' history. You should focus instead on UNVEILING THE LIES NON CHRISTIANS are writing in this forum.
No, the first Iberian navigators are the Spanish from the Kingdom of Aragon, who conquer Sicily in 1282, Athens in 1311, Corsica and Sardinia in 1326, the first Iberian African base in Djerba, Tunisia 1380, before Henry the Navigator was born. Then the conquest of the Kingdom of Naples in 1442. Castile destroys the English fleet in 1372. 5 invasions of southern England in 1377-1411. Canary Islands 1404. America 1492 The first Portuguese base outside Portugal is Ceuta 1415, then exploration of the coast of West Africa If England is historically British, and an antecedent of the United Kingdom, as well as a modern founding nation, together with Scotland in 1707, Castile and Aragon, historically Spanish-Hispanic, are antecedents of the founders of Spain.
@@Gloriaimperial1 thats not the same, made money from indian space trade taxes, guess what... the dutch did the same , portugal goes to africa from atlantic ocean, the british did the same, portugal goes to asia, everyone goes to asia, portugal used caravelas created by us to go to america, the spanish did the same, every colonial empire was based in portuguese empire
@@stoned8034 I acknowledge the Portuguese naval influence. But when Spain made the first voyage around the world, in 1522, the ship Victoria was a nao, not a caravel. We could travel with other ships for long voyages around the world, too. We know that on Christopher Columbus's voyage there was a nao and a caravel, but there are doubts about the main ship. All nations had ships of various types. But it seems that the Portuguese caravel was a very good ship, and was adopted by many countries. Apart from other Portuguese innovations. The galleon is typically Spanish, for example. We also made the first electric submarine and effective torpedo launcher in history, in the 19th century. But we cannot say that all the submarines in the world are children of Isaac Peral's Spanish submarine. Aragon already had an empire in Italy and Greece, more than 100 years before Portugal came to Ceuta in 1415, which is the first Portuguese colony outside Portugal, and is far from being an example of anything, because of its small size, compared to our power in Italy long before. The Portuguese had factories in West Africa, mainly. In Italy there were viceroys of the Aragon empire. The Spanish empire adopted that kind of system, from the Aragon empire, building castles there. And that is why we have viceroys in America and the Philippines. There is nothing in the Portuguese empire similar to America before 1492, nor in Africa. Only commercial bases in Africa and later in Asia. We even came to Africa earlier, developing our own colonization systems in the Canary Islands and Yerba, similar to the Reconquista against Islam. Spain never had a factory-style commercial empire. Our empire is too similar to a Romanization: massive assimilation of populations in the newly conquered lands, evangelizing them and creating universities. Spain created 40 universities in the world. 28 in America, 9 in Italy, 3 in the Philippines and 1 in France. The first university on each continent: Santo Domingo in America, 1538 (then Mexico and Peru in 1552... up to 28 universities). The first European university in Asia, in 1621. The first European university in Africa, in Tenerife, Canary Islands 1701... The first university of the Portuguese empire is in Brazil in 1912... 90 years after independence. 0 Portuguese universities outside Portugal. In the 18th century there was a division of Paraguay, of the missions that we carried out with the natives there, in the style of what we had been doing 250 years before and always in America. Portugal did nothing of the sort in America with the natives. The buildings of the houses of the Spanish empire in America are typical of Andalusia. Almost all white, with wooden balconies. The institutions are typically Castilian. The great fleets of the Indies, with between 25 and 100 ships, are imitations of the great Aragonese and Castilian fleets, which traded throughout the Mediterranean and the North Sea, carrying wool to the Low Countries and beyond. In America we have cabildos, mayors, royal audiences to do justice, a court of residence to supervise the work of the officials (including the viceroy) at the end of the mandate, and at the beginning encomiendas (farms in the style of medieval Spain during the Reconquista). Everything is typically Spanish, a mixture of Reconquista against Islam and Romanization. But who knows, maybe there was some charge that we copied from Portugal. But we can deduce from this that the Spanish expansion, which began in 1282, and which is the largest expansion of any country, with 693 continuous years (only behind Rome: 713 years) is an imitation of the Portuguese, who began their expansion from 1415...

Portugal is not a small country but medium both at European level and world level. So if you don't call small to half of the nations in the world and 80% of the European countries why should you point this false information when speaking about Portugal?

you missed something when you said "small country" you have to know that portugal controled almost the whole iberic penensula until they lose a battle against morocco(the battle of the three kings) then spain took advantage and took most of the penensula but before that portugal was the superpower and spain was small
I’ve learned about Portuguese history at school but don’t remember that. As far as I know, Portugal was formed when D. Afonso Henriques started conquering lands southwards until he reached the Algarve. Yes Portugal used to control Ceuta but the only time the peninsula was United, was when the king of Portugal died and Spain took over for 3 kingdoms. Do you have any links for what you are claiming please? I’m quite curious
What he wanted to say is that portugal was for a long time the biggest power in the iberian peninsula because spain was still divited in smaller kingdoms and only united in 1474. At this time portugal had allready colonies in africa and was on it’s way to india.

Crap. The Portuguese developed a system of navigation logs called " Rutters" Without these, you couldn't retrace a route of navigation. You would have no idea of how to get some where, where another ship had already been. These Rutgers were navigation log books, so valuable they were state secrets. They were under guard. They were the first item off a returning ship, and put under state control. Its bullship, that other nations didn't build ships just as good as the Portuguese.

Why do not talk about the templars that after the crusades they were given lands and property in Portugal. They were key to the development of Portugal.
Portugal was one of the richest and most developed nations in Europe at the time of D. Dinis (1261-1325), the vision and entrepreneurial capacity allowed the royal treasury to dispose of funds to make loans to its neighboring kings, as documented in the chronicles: ao rei of Aragon and the King of Castile. It also allowed him to be generous in the gifts he made whenever he went on diplomatic missions.
Numerous Europeans, coming from France, England, Italy, Germany and other places, came to live in Portugal, taking advantage of the dynamism that the king gave and due to the more favorable and abundant situation in Portugal.
The Iberian Peninsula was known for its abundant resources even before the Romans and grew more than the rest of the European areas. “It grows even more in the 9th-10th century, being the richest area in the 10th century and this growth is never stopped. Christian gains must be understood by this growth.” To this we must add a series of "favorable circumstances", among them their stable monarchies, with the kingdom of Castile and Aragon "very organized, composed of a warrior society with warriors who were created in the border struggle". Portugal, for its part, seeks above all “control of the Atlantic, where it has invested heavily, and allows it to conquer a position of global leadership, especially in what will later be called Brazil”.
In the distribution of the new lands, other western European kingdoms are excluded for various reasons”, as can be seen by the thousands of famines in northern Europe, by the countless migrations from northern Europe to Portuguese territory over almost every century, in the last thousands of years and, finally, by the large number of monuments, documents, churches and castles that exist in much greater numbers in the Iberian Peninsula.
The so-called Great Famine was restricted to northern Europe, including the British Isles, northern France, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Germany and western Poland. In the north, crops were very often destroyed by cold weather, rain, hail and frost. The famine was limited to the south by the Alps and the Pyrenees. Famines were familiar occurrences in medieval Europe. Localized famines occurred in the Kingdom of France during the 14th century in 1304, 1305, 1310, 1315-1317 (the Great Famine), 1330-1334, 1349-1351, 1358-1360, 1371, 1374-1375, and 1390. England, there were additional famines in 1321, 1351 and 1369. Even King Edward II himself in 1315 could not get bread. But it was in Scandinavia that famines were more intense and constant, the cold climate and low light made famines prevail over time. That's why they were forced to risk their lives in stormy seas to steal from other peoples in order to survive, living with the limitations and uncertainties that war always determines. Hence the lack of monuments and constructions of the time, because only a society with resources that guarantee food, with a stable agriculture, peace and confidence in the future, can achieve this.
There is still great confusion about this, due to what was romanticized and fictionalized, or just built more recently, at the end of the 19th century but described as medieval. The truth of northern European reality has been transformed into fictional tales about princes and princesses wrapped in wealth, but the documentary and monumental truth is completely different. Furthermore, the Nazi office of falsification of historical facts, manipulated the Nordic weakness to appear as "superior to everything".
Added to this is the poverty caused by the endless wars over territorial limits that destroyed and ruined the resources of European countries, but which in Portugal no longer existed (*with rare exceptions), as Portugal was the first country in Europe to have its border limits demarcated . Hence the Lusitanian nation, with a stable present, turned to the future and looked to the unknown world, to the sea beyond and how to create and develop the technological and scientific means to get there.
There is positional and internal organization so that the countries of the peninsula have an undisputed hegemony. In Iberia, the climate was warm, mild, the region was diverse and crossed by countless rivers that irrigated the land and served as transport routes, connecting and transporting the economy of this region full of varied resources, from the sea rich in fish, to to the interior of the Iberian Peninsula and vice versa. In addition, agriculture evolved a lot, with the introduction of new Arab cultivation and irrigation techniques, hitherto unknown in Europe.
The great scientific, technical, maritime and human development that Portugal created to travel around the world and beyond, was prepared over the centuries and that is why Portugal made Europe rich and developed, changing its small, poor, closed, in the medieval era, on the continent that lead the world to this day.
D. Dinis established a centralizing policy, articulated with important economic promotion actions, such as the creation of numerous municipalities and fairs.
He ordered the exploitation of copper, silver, tin and iron mines and organized the export of surplus production to other European countries.
Foreign trade - Cereal production soon surpasses domestic consumption and Portugal becomes an exporting kingdom, establishing commercial relations with ports in Catalonia, Brittany, Flanders and England, signing the first commercial treaty with Edward II of England in 1308. Wine, olive oil, salt, salted fish and dried fruit are also exported to these ports. Even abroad, Portuguese merchants began to gain privileges: Philip IV of France donated privileges to Portuguese merchants on two occasions, in 1290 and in 1310, on this date specifically to the merchants of Harfleur.
Once the Reconquest was concluded, Dinis I of Portugal became interested in foreign trade, organizing exports to European countries. In 1293 he instituted the so-called Bolsa dos Mercadores, a maritime insurance fund for the numerous Portuguese merchants residing in the County of Flanders, who paid certain sums according to tonnage, which reverted to their benefit if necessary. Algarve wine and chestnuts were sold in Flanders and England, salt from the Lisbon, Setúbal and Aveiro regions were profitable exports to Northern Europe, as were leather and Kermes, a scarlet dye.
Internal trade - This commercial increase resulted in an increase in the number of fairs. Dinis continues his father's impulse in this field: the regions of Entre Douro e Minho, Beira and Alentejo were covered with fairs, namely tax free fairs, that is, fairs with privileges and exemptions.
To avoid dependence on neighboring states for the transport of goods, he ordered the construction of ships in the kingdom's shipyards. The country claims leadership in trade between the North Atlantic and the South and therefore, the king lays the foundations for the construction of innovative ships, which combine the characteristics of resistant Atlantic ships, with the lightness and versatility of navigability in the Mediterranean. Foreign sailors even came to combine specific knowledge of their maritime regions, with what Portuguese specialists and researchers were looking for and this is how the Genoese Manuel Pessanha is attributed the position of admiral as a privilege, founding a true Portuguese navy at the service of the Crown and the Kingdom.
He pursued relevant judicial reforms, instituted the Portuguese language as the official language of the court, created one of the first European Universities, freed the Military Orders in the national territory from foreign influences and continued to systematically increase royal centralism.
In a time of national affirmation of economic prosperity and peace led by a king with an administrative and economic vocation, it would confirm the continuation of the use of new money as opposed to old money. There is also a novelty in a silver alloy coin, with its name Tornes. This coin is a reflection of the success of the coin in France and a sign of growing trade in Europe. It was also a credibility mechanism showing that there was good silver currency in Portugal.
A monarch more devoted to economics and the arts than to war, he developed a policy of monetary stability and boosted the economy, especially agriculture. He promoted the extraction of various minerals, the creation of fairs and the development of the navy. "In these lands, countless knights from France became residents, who integrated themselves into local life. Their descendants, already assumed themselves completely as Portuguese".
During his reign, D. Dinis founded 44 villages throughout his kingdom, including the village of Atouguia. In them he built and repaired his castles. He created one of the top 3 universities in Europe, the University of Coimbra / Lisbon.
Cultivated and curious about letters and science, he would have stimulated the translation into Portuguese of many important works, among them the treatises of his grandfather Afonso X, the Wise. In this way, his Court was one of the greatest literary centers in Europe.
It’s kinda sad that because history is written by the victors most of this knowledge is lost but my mission is to change that by showing the portuguese side of history 💪🏻

Great video! It's quite impressive what such a small country like Portugal was able to accomplish in so short a time.
I've been to Lisbon, I visited the museum of the Portuguese navy - it is no coincidence that it was much larger and with better exhibitions than the army museum... In it I found a special presentation of a archaeological excavation of a ship which foundered in the Tejo estuary during the early 18th century.
The greatest cost with sailing vessels wasn't the metal for cannons and fittings but the timber for the hull. It helped that ever since king Dennis (Diniz in Portuguese) the nation has been one of the most wooded country of all of southern Europe, he ordered extensive forest planting for expressed benefit of the navy. Portugal is nowadays one of the big exporters of wood product in the world.
But there was more to it than availability of timber, studying the excavated shipwreck showed that there was something to the construction too. Ever since the Viking ship age ships in the Atlantic have been built with sturdy frames the board of the hull was nailed onto. In this ship though the frames were much thinner but also much tighter together, and nailed together with the neighbouring frames. Thus could Portuguese shipwrights use the valuable timber more sparingly and still build very seaworthy vessels.
It is no coincidence that the navy Royal Navy had most respect for during the age of sails was the Portuguese one... As men-of-war went, the Portuguese vessels were less solid than British vessels but cheaper and faster to construct, and manned by sailors of expertise only matched but not exceeded by Royal Navy.
I never knew that the wood industry in Portugal was directly connected to the ancient kingdoms and ship construction, wow I might make a video about that as well in the future, thank you 🙏

It wasnt England, it was Portugal who created the Galleon! In fact when English corsairs captured a Portuguese Galleon, when it was receiving water, they took it to England and everyone stayed astonished about how it was possible to build such a big ship. It took 100 years after Portugal, for England to make Galleons!
The Portuguese invented naos and carracks, the galleon is an Spanish invention
@@angelcamachodelsolar No it wasnt the Spanish. the Portuguese were in the ship avantguard in all the fields. That is why in the Battle of Tunez 1535, the king of Spain and Emperor of the Holy German Roman Empire Carlos V asked to the King of Portugal for the Galleon São João Baptista, known as Botafogo, the most powerful ship in the world of its time, which started the battle and was the one that managed to break the "insurmountable" iron chain that blocked the port of Tunez.
In that battle, Botafogo was commanded by Infante D. Luís, brother of King D. João III of Portugal and brother-in-law of Emperor Carlos V. When Carlos V requested naval support from Portugal, he specifically mentioned Botafogo.
The Portuguese galleon called S. João Baptista, in which the emperor of Germany, and king of Spain, Charles V, went with his brother-in-law, our infant Dom Luiz, called Delicias de Portugal, to the conquest of Tunis against the famous corsair Heredim Barba-Rôxa, not only is it celebrated for being the largest ship, which in the seas of Europe oppressed the waves, as it threw 366 bronze pieces, and being round it contained 600 musketeers, 400 sword and rodella soldiers, and 300 artillerymen; but it is also famous for the talhamar, or large saw made of very fine steel, which it had on its bow, to break the Goleta chain; which could not be achieved the first time, but rather the second time, in which Infante Dom Luiz ordered the pilot to put to sea with a wider turn, and with the sails all in the wind [prevention that had been lacking in the first] he invested the chain with such furious and vehement momentum that it tore it to pieces, raising a great saw of water. The galleon entered the river, like the horseman following good luck, and began to launch so much lightning on the fortifications of the infidels, that from here came the name, which the common people repeat [still today], calling it the galleon botafogo. With him, without a doubt, he made it easier, and managed to conquer Goleta, which seemed impregnable, on the 13th of July in the year 1535.
@@binalcensored2104 I already knew the story of "Botafogo", thank you.
But it has nothing to do with the fact that the galleon was actually invented by the Spanish.
@@angelcamachodelsolar The Spanish all try to steal everything from Portugal, even picked up an insignificant subaltern and try to make him an heroe. I am glad being independent!
@@angelcamachodelsolar Portugal has Galleons since 1518, Spain only built Galleons after 70 years, that is, only after the Iberian Union and the union of the Spanish Portuguese fleet did Spain begin to build galleons in large numbers. It was only 100 years after the Portuguese that the English built galleons. Despite Cristovao Columbo. Fernando Magalhaes sailed on Portuguese ships and even faced the fact that Portugal alone conquered the Indian Ocean. Winning battles against the Arab and Ottoman armadas, against Chinese, Indian and Asian pirates and corsairs and defeating them alone, all European countries despise the enormous scientific technical evolution of the Portuguese and create fictions to only masturbate their ultranationalist ego.
However, only the truth allows us to evolve, while lies make us regress.
The Galleon was a ship invented from 1518, by the Portuguese as a weapon to give a proper answer to the Indias Career, to the big ships coming from India full of very valuable cargo. There are records of the powerful Portuguese Galleon Sao Joao Baptista in 1535 leading the attack of the Christian Armada to Tunez, which proves that only the Portuguese has such a powerful ships on that date.
In a leaflet written in the time of King D. João III, it is said that its keel was the length and a half of the largest ship in India. The number of people he transported to the capture of Goleta could also be used to judge the extraordinary dimensions of this ship, truly extraordinary for that time. In addition to the crew, which would have been very numerous to be able to sail a similar ship, it took on board 600 musketeers, 400 men with swords and rodelas, and 300 artillerymen. In addition to including 366 bronze pieces.
As historians point out, this galleon had a steel tackle on the beck, with which, in the second attack, it broke the iron chain with which the moors closed the entrance to the port of Goleta. There is even Tapestry of the series The Conquest of Tunis designed by Jan Cornelis Vermeyen & woven by Wilhelm de Pannemaker in 1549-1551, in there we can see the Galleon St John Baptist nicknamed Bota Fogo "Set Fire".
It is undeniable that the aforementioned galleon, to which the people gave the name "Bota Fogo" due to the great amount of fire vomited from itself, rendered great service in that memorable action, not only due to the activity of its fire, but also because it was directed in a superior position, which was the cavalier of the other ships of the fleet and of the port's own batteries.
This galleon was built in Portas do Mar, one of the navy arsenals in Lisbon, by master João Gallego; which began on August 29, 1533, and which, employing 230 workers in its construction, launched into the sea on June 24 of the following year.
In other words, at least since 1534 we have evidence that galleons were already being built in Portugal.
The fact that Charles V of Habsburg, the emperor of Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, part of France and Italy, as well as king of Spain, specifically asked the king of Portugal for the Galleon St John Baptist to lead the attack to Tunez in 1535, demonstrates that only Portugal had such a powerful ship and only Portugal had galleons.
There are reports of the construction of Portuguese galleons since 1518 and in Spain just seven decades later. England only built its first galleon 100 years later.
The Portuguese invented naos and carracks, the galleon is an Spanish invention.
The first reference to the "Botafogo" mentions the "great galleon São João" sailing in a convoy to Guinea, under the command of Duarte Coelho in 1532.
According to you, it was built in 1534, so we can see how bad your data is.
The fact that in its time it was the largest ship of its type does not automatically mean that the Portuguese invented the galleon.
Furthermore, many experts describe the Botafogo as a carrack, not a galleon.
I quote your words: " There are reports of the construction of Portuguese galleons since 1518 and in Spain just seven decades later. England only built its first galleon 100 years later." end of the quote.
If my maths don't fool me that would be in 1588...
According to the history that you can easily check:
The galleon is an early 16th century Spanish invention consisting of an armed transport, which will eventually evolve into the war galleon.
The first mention of the galleon was given in Spain in 1509, when in an account of the conquest of Oran the galleon of Count Pedro Navarro is mentioned.
The second in 1516 when Bernal Brunet's galleon of 100 tons is mentioned in the Navy for Oran.
The first fleet of the "Carrera de Indias" is formed in 1542 to defend against pirate attacks.
In 1550 the Spanish admiral don Álvaro de Bazan begins the development of the Transport Galleon to War Galleon.
In the first "Flota de Indias" (1564) the escort was formed by 8 war galleons.
The first Manila Galleon was in 1565.
And here they still lack, according to you, 23 years (1588) for the Spanish to have their first galleon …
By the way, in order not to build galleons until 1618 (as you say), Francis Drake (english) circumnavigated the world in his galleon Golden Hind between 1577 and 1580.
Even the English Wikipedia says that the galleon is a Spanish invention.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galleon

@@angelcamachodelsolar Can hardly call it a Spanish invention my man. Also keep in mind the destruction of Portuguese history after 1755 when they were losing territories.

You are confident in the very vague and ambiguous picture that is painted due to what little survived.

@@Gomgo22 Unlike you, I provide data.
You simply deny it, you do not provide anything to confirm your denial, so it is hollow and useless.
Neither you nor I were there to find out, but the documents that, as you say, have survived, say that it was a Spanish invention.
If you have discovered a document that says otherwise, you should share it with the community of historians.
It wouldn't be the first time something like this happens.
Until then, and I feel very sorry for you, the galleon was invented by the Spanish
@@angelcamachodelsolar Like I said, nothing you showed points to it being a Spanish invention. Spain mass produced it along with everyone else. Portugal created that platform that allowed the galeão to exist. Botafogo was the firat Galeão that we know. One big issue with this is the name. Galleon, Galeão, Man-at-War. They're all the same thing called different names by different people in different countries. Each country added their own details to the technology Portugal laid out for them.
Also, you bash me for my lack of sources. My friend history is my life. The history changes with different primary sources depending on what country you are in. I know this because I went to different places, saw these things first hand. I was almost insulted in finding out just how little wikipedia has.
Back then this wouldn't even be an argument. If it were, it would probably be this:
Portuguese man: "Portugal made the Galeão!!"
Spanish man: "Yeah but Spain made it better."
You don't see the Italians trying to claim they invented noodles. It's super relevant to their cultural history, but they know it came from China. It doesn't change history man. The end result is the same.

Olá 👋🏻
There are no Portuguese conquests before 1415.
Spain sailed before Portugal, and we had more naval experience in war.
A Spanish fleet conquered Sicily in 1282 (1282-1759). Another fleet of Spanish conquered Athens in 1311 (1311-1379). Also Corsica and Sardinia in 1326. We defeated the English fleet at La Rochelle 1372, sinking 48 ships. Spanish invasion of southern England in 1377, 1380-81 and 1411. Before Henry the Navigator was born, Spain already had lands in Africa: Djerba, Tunisia, 1380. When Henry the Navigator was 10 years old, the Spanish were already in the Canary Islands , 1404 (but there were Spanish settlers before, in 1341). The only thing Portugal did in the entire 15th century was reach Ceuta in 1415, Madeira in 1419, Azores in 1427. And explore the west African coast. That is important, but it is not a European power nor is it a global empire nor is it the beginning of exploration navigation in Africa. In 1442, the Spanish of the Aragon empire defeated the French in Italy, conquering the entire kingdom of Naples and Sardinia. Spain arrived in America in 1492. It was the first time that a power crossed the Ocean at the time of the discoveries. Spain is on 3 continents. Portugal in Portugal and Africa. Portugal was never a greater power than Spain. The great moment of Portugal begins in 1500, when they arrived in India in 1498 and Brazil in 1500. These are the 20 years in which Portugal is on 4 continents and Spain on 3. But Spain annexes the Netherlands and Franche-Comté in 1519, and The Spanish king, Carlos I, is also named emperor of Germany. In 1520 Spain reached the fourth and fifth continents, crossing the entire Pacific Ocean for the first time, which is half of the earth.
But Portugal did have, as you say, a good tradition of sailors, and they expanded throughout Africa and Asia, with multiple colonies: Mozambique, Kenya, Arabia, Oman, China, India, Indonesia, Ceylon, Japan.
Spain did it in the Philippines, then Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Taiwan and almost all the archipelagos of the deep Pacific Ocean, including Hawaii (16th century Spanish map) and New Zealand (16th century Spanish helmet there)
But I consider that it was a parallel expansion of the two Iberian countries.
Only 1 in 7 Jews left Spain in 1492. The rest became Catholic. And they did not choose Portugal especially, but went to the Turkish empire or Italy, where there are still tens of thousands of Sephardim who speak ancient Spanish. The Jews of Portugal were also forced to become Christians in 1496
Pelo amor de deus nem era espanha e sim varios reinos separados sabes tanto a espanha tinha medo de portugal no seculo 16 portugal emitiu um aviso de guerra à espanha e ela se cagou de medo e foi contar ao papa porque o territorio que colombo descobriu na verdade estava na zona de portugal e os portugueses queriam reinvidicar e a espnha foi fazer quixinhas po papa e assim o papa junto com os dois reino criaram o tratado de tordesilhas mas fds espanha n era nd tinha medo de portugal espanhois filhos da puta

If you are not a doctor in History, better SHUT YOUR MOUTH and STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION.
AHAHAAH I can feel your sweat as you type this comment, you've typed literal Bibles in other persons comments aswell
Spain didn't even exist in 1282 and had little to no influence in north Africa besides some raids here and there
Your spanish Ceuta still has the portuguese flag
A true global empire is having land all over the world, not conquering or raiding the neighboor - hence GLOBAL
"...the only thing Portugal did in the entire 15th century..." that "only thing" was and still is more impressive than the moon landing
"Portugal was never a greater power than Spain" depends, what are you comparing and your definition of Spain? Because if it is naval power then it was BY A LONG SHOT, hence the treaty of Tordesillas was made, otherwise Castille *could* defeat Portugal on land (did try decades before with french help but failed miserably, see Battle of Aljubarrota) but it could never win on the sea
Your "Spain" had to hire outsiders to sail the unknown world - discover America (Columbus, possibly portuguese) and circumnavigate the world (Magalhães, a portuguese)
Iberian Union was only possible because the Portuguese king died in Morocco and the Spanish king also had portuguese blood and was the best successor in line.
Spain has never conquered Portugal. Not before, not now and never will. Don't bother in writing another bible, I won't read.
hola amigo tienes razón en lo que dices es verdad pero España tuvo un impacto global muy importante hoy hablan español más de 625 millones de personas osea es muchísimo hay hispanos por todo el mundo saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷🇪🇦🙋
You are telling HALF TRUTHS, KID. Before the union of Castile and Aragon SPAIN DID NOT EXIST AS A STATE. The conquest of Athens and the Italian island in the mediterranean was made by CATALONIA, not Castile, YOU FOOL BAMBINO. I just read the first 5 lines of your essay, and stopped, believing the next paragraph would consist also of HALF TRUTHS. Grow up and stop competing against our fellow Portuguese Christians' history. You should focus instead on UNVEILING THE LIES NON CHRISTIANS are writing in this forum.
portugal was the first, other countrys just do the same.
No, the first Iberian navigators are the Spanish from the Kingdom of Aragon, who conquer Sicily in 1282, Athens in 1311, Corsica and Sardinia in 1326, the first Iberian African base in Djerba, Tunisia 1380, before Henry the Navigator was born. Then the conquest of the Kingdom of Naples in 1442.
Castile destroys the English fleet in 1372. 5 invasions of southern England in 1377-1411. Canary Islands 1404. America 1492
The first Portuguese base outside Portugal is Ceuta 1415, then exploration of the coast of West Africa
If England is historically British, and an antecedent of the United Kingdom, as well as a modern founding nation, together with Scotland in 1707, Castile and Aragon, historically Spanish-Hispanic, are antecedents of the founders of Spain.
@@Gloriaimperial1 thats not the same, made money from indian space trade taxes, guess what... the dutch did the same , portugal goes to africa from atlantic ocean, the british did the same, portugal goes to asia, everyone goes to asia, portugal used caravelas created by us to go to america, the spanish did the same, every colonial empire was based in portuguese empire
@@stoned8034 I acknowledge the Portuguese naval influence. But when Spain made the first voyage around the world, in 1522, the ship Victoria was a nao, not a caravel. We could travel with other ships for long voyages around the world, too. We know that on Christopher Columbus's voyage there was a nao and a caravel, but there are doubts about the main ship. All nations had ships of various types. But it seems that the Portuguese caravel was a very good ship, and was adopted by many countries. Apart from other Portuguese innovations. The galleon is typically Spanish, for example. We also made the first electric submarine and effective torpedo launcher in history, in the 19th century. But we cannot say that all the submarines in the world are children of Isaac Peral's Spanish submarine.
Aragon already had an empire in Italy and Greece, more than 100 years before Portugal came to Ceuta in 1415, which is the first Portuguese colony outside Portugal, and is far from being an example of anything, because of its small size, compared to our power in Italy long before. The Portuguese had factories in West Africa, mainly. In Italy there were viceroys of the Aragon empire. The Spanish empire adopted that kind of system, from the Aragon empire, building castles there. And that is why we have viceroys in America and the Philippines. There is nothing in the Portuguese empire similar to America before 1492, nor in Africa. Only commercial bases in Africa and later in Asia. We even came to Africa earlier, developing our own colonization systems in the Canary Islands and Yerba, similar to the Reconquista against Islam. Spain never had a factory-style commercial empire. Our empire is too similar to a Romanization: massive assimilation of populations in the newly conquered lands, evangelizing them and creating universities. Spain created 40 universities in the world. 28 in America, 9 in Italy, 3 in the Philippines and 1 in France. The first university on each continent: Santo Domingo in America, 1538 (then Mexico and Peru in 1552... up to 28 universities). The first European university in Asia, in 1621. The first European university in Africa, in Tenerife, Canary Islands 1701... The first university of the Portuguese empire is in Brazil in 1912... 90 years after independence. 0 Portuguese universities outside Portugal. In the 18th century there was a division of Paraguay, of the missions that we carried out with the natives there, in the style of what we had been doing 250 years before and always in America. Portugal did nothing of the sort in America with the natives.
The buildings of the houses of the Spanish empire in America are typical of Andalusia. Almost all white, with wooden balconies. The institutions are typically Castilian. The great fleets of the Indies, with between 25 and 100 ships, are imitations of the great Aragonese and Castilian fleets, which traded throughout the Mediterranean and the North Sea, carrying wool to the Low Countries and beyond.
In America we have cabildos, mayors, royal audiences to do justice, a court of residence to supervise the work of the officials (including the viceroy) at the end of the mandate, and at the beginning encomiendas (farms in the style of medieval Spain during the Reconquista).
Everything is typically Spanish, a mixture of Reconquista against Islam and Romanization. But who knows, maybe there was some charge that we copied from Portugal. But we can deduce from this that the Spanish expansion, which began in 1282, and which is the largest expansion of any country, with 693 continuous years (only behind Rome: 713 years) is an imitation of the Portuguese, who began their expansion from 1415...

@@Gloriaimperial1 and i wasnt giving hate to spain, i like spain a lot, is just that portugal became the first global empire, and was a strong power house before spain, but had a lot of moments in history that spain was way stronger than portugal too

OR....Portugal was the first to get around the Ottoman West only,
worldwide trade blockade.
Portugal is not a small country but medium both at European level and world level. So if you don't call small to half of the nations in the world and 80% of the European countries why should you point this false information when speaking about Portugal?
Então e os países baixos?
Que têm? 😅
What? Their empire was small and weak
@@Culturiosity nothing you did all right. It doesn’t make sense speaking about an “empire” that consisted only of south africa some islands and citys. That got their ass kicked in barzil, africa and in the famous battle of nürnberg by the portuguese 😉
@@Yusef_AlHakam talvez não saibas, mas o império dos países baixos, só veio a ter alguma relevância, graças aos judeus portugueses que saíram de Portugal por causa da perseguição religiosa. Podes encontrar muita informação não oficial.

Not global. The Americas were discovered by The Spanish and also colonized in Cuba first and before Brazil.
you missed something when you said "small country"
you have to know that portugal controled almost the whole iberic penensula until they lose a battle against morocco(the battle of the three kings) then spain took advantage and took most of the penensula
but before that portugal was the superpower and spain was small
I’ve learned about Portuguese history at school but don’t remember that. As far as I know, Portugal was formed when D. Afonso Henriques started conquering lands southwards until he reached the Algarve. Yes Portugal used to control Ceuta but the only time the peninsula was United, was when the king of Portugal died and Spain took over for 3 kingdoms. Do you have any links for what you are claiming please? I’m quite curious
What he wanted to say is that portugal was for a long time the biggest power in the iberian peninsula because spain was still divited in smaller kingdoms and only united in 1474. At this time portugal had allready colonies in africa and was on it’s way to india.

Don't be foolish, the rainbow flag's original meaning was a symbol of peace. The gay pride version was created only in 1978.
portuguese ❤ have extensive knowledge in all gay matters 👌

Crap. The Portuguese developed a system of navigation logs called " Rutters" Without these, you couldn't retrace a route of navigation. You would have no idea of how to get some where, where another ship had already been. These Rutgers were navigation log books, so valuable they were state secrets. They were under guard. They were the first item off a returning ship, and put under state control. Its bullship, that other nations didn't build ships just as good as the Portuguese.
Why must such a sucee
What? Hahahaha
your frustration makes you pathetic
Portugal? Ahhaha liar, Spain🇪🇸 forged the First Global Empire and we🇵🇹 followed the scent 100 years when we left Leon🇪🇸 where we originated.

Spain, the first global empire 🤣😂🤣😂buy books
all that Spain did was follow the paths of Portugal, like Holland, England, France, etc. even viriato you want to make people believe that he was Spanish
but everyone knows that the Lusitanians are the ancestors of the Portuguese
you are pathetic for your ignorance of Portuguese history. the Spaniards in 2023 still as ignorant.
