Portuguese colonial empire.

The Portuguese colonial empire was the first global colonial empire in history, and the oldest and longest colonial empire in Europe (1415-1999). Portugal's Atlantic expeditions in the 15th century and the conquest of Ceuta in 1415 marked the beginning of Portugal's emergence as a maritime power. Subsequently, Portugal began to develop navigation schools and strengthen the knowledge of cartography.

A century later, Portugal finally became the first country in Europe to launch a route to India. Portuguese navigators such as Dias, Vasco da Gama, and Ferdinand Magellan, who served the King of Spain, made immortal seafaring history. The power of the Portuguese colonial empire reached its peak in the 16th century.

However, the Portuguese colonial empire began to decline due to the indifference of the Habsburgs and the competition of other new colonial empires such as Britain, the Netherlands, and France. After the 18th century, Portugal concentrated its rule in Brazil and its African colonies. And the ** brought to Portugal by the Brazilian colonizers reinvigorated the empire.

Unfortunately, the disastrous events of 1755 dealt a severe blow to the international status of the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, and the independence of Brazil in 1822 and the British crackdown on its expansion attempts in Africa in 1890 all led to the decline of the colonial empire.

Portugal was first ruled by the Arabs, and later became independent in the 12th century AD, establishing the King of Portugal, who ruled the peninsula by the Moors, a Muslim ethnic group in North Africa, but not the Moors or blacks in North Africa. Neanderthals first moved into present-day Portugal, which was later replaced by Homo sapiens. Portugal was settled in the Iberian Peninsula by Celts as early as the 1st millennium BC.

The Romans first invaded the island of Iberia in 219 BC. Around 140 BC, the Romans conquered Portugal and made it a province of the Roman Empire, known as the province of Leucitania, where they ruled until the 5th century AD. In the 5th century, Germanic tribes (including the Svibi, Vandal, and Alan) invaded the Iberian Peninsula.

Later, these tribes were expelled from the Iberian Peninsula by the Visigoths. The Visigothic dynasty fell in 711 when the Muslim Moors of North Africa invaded the Iberian Peninsula, and only the Asturias highlands in northern Portugal remained in the hands of the Catholic Gothic nobility. The Goths began the Reconquista in Asturias, with the aim of fighting the Muslim regimes in the south and regaining control of the Iberian Peninsula.

Before the 11th century, Portugal was under the rule of the Romans, Arabs, and Moors. In 1143, the Pope recognized the independence of the Kingdom of Portugal, which was the first country in Europe to achieve national unity and centralization.

Moors are a demeaning term for North African Muslims in the Middle Ages, descendants of a mixture of Berbers, Arabs and blacks, and can be considered people of color. Othello in Shakespeare's famous play "Othello" is a Moorish and black.

In November 1578, King Philip of Spain sent Duke Elba to lead an army into Portugal, which soon captured Lisbon, and King Antonio of Portugal was forced into exile in Paris and several Portuguese islands. Under pressure from the military and the Pope, the Portuguese Secret Council allowed Philip to conditionally inherit the throne of Portugal and become King Philip I of Portugal. And the conditions are:

1 Portugal remains governed by an independent** and not governed by Spain**;

2 The Kingdom of Portugal and its overseas territories may not be co-opted by the King as Spanish territories or provinces;

3 Maintain the status of Portuguese as the Chinese language.

On 1 December 1640, Portugal regained its independence.

1580 In 1640, Portugal was annexed by Spain and became a vassal of Spain.

No! But historically, Portugal was a Spanish colony for a very short time. It was only after the Anglo-Spanish War that Portugal seceded from Spain!

The Iberian Peninsula was occupied by the Arabs.

Portugal was a colonizer. How could it be colonized. He's got a lot of strength.

I hope that lz adopts.

It was returned to Arabia before the 12th century, and then it became independent.

It has not been colonized, and being ruled by the Arabs is not colonization, it is annexation and conquest.

Colonization refers to the use of an area as a source of raw materials and a dumping ground for commodities, without including it in the territory of the country (but it is usually administered by overseas governors, which is called an overseas colony). Colonization is a disguised way of plundering local wealth and accumulating primitive capital through unequal transactions. This is peculiar to the early stage of capitalist development, with the aim of amassing wealth and developing domestic capitalism.

The purpose of the Arabs' re-rule was to annex land and develop feudal relations of production, which was fundamentally different from colonization.

It can be seen that colonial rule is an expression of advanced productive forces compared with the annexation of land for feudal rule.

Portugal, as one of the earlier countries that developed capitalism, was a colonizer and was clearly not colonized.

Romans, Visigoths, Arabs.

No, only Portugal colonized the Americas

No no such thing. Portugal has always been peaceful! Who do you listen to? The man was talking nonsense

Portugal became the first colonialist in India, building a powerful colonial empire around India. The Portuguese established colonies in India, Indonesia, Madagascar, Africa, and beyond. This small country, with a population of only 1.5 million at the time, actually encompassed the ** and colonial power of the eastern Atlantic, the entire Indian Ocean and the western Pacific.

Several of these colonies were controlled by the Portuguese until the first half of the 20th century.

Portugal is great in navigation. It was through his early voyages that he reached many parts of the world and then established colonies.

Portugal has a strong geographical advantage to the sea, taking the lead in exploring the nearest route to the eastern continent, opening up overseas **, monopolizing trade routes, and establishing a large number of colonies.

Portugal had a very developed seafaring industry, and their navy was also very powerful, and the advanced tactics of their army were also a great weapon to acquire colonies, and it established colonies along the coast of Africa as supply centers for ocean voyages, allowing Portugal to build one colony after another and build a huge empire.
