    Portugal Underdog....???!!! Portugal was the First Global Empire in History changing the World as we know today and you say that Portugal was a European underdog. Man,your notion and general knowledge of the Role of Portugal in the History of Mankind is a little bit twisted. When Portugal reached Japan( with Brasil,African colonies,India,Malaca ,China and dozens of comercial outposts spread by the knowed World,england was still playing around with european neighbours and sending some pirates to pluder Portuguese and Spanish ships. Portugal has a colonie in china (Macau) since the beggining if the 16th Century while England only 300 hundred years later was able to estabelish one. Call Underdog to the country who Started All and changed the world Forever is a very Diminishing and Derogatory sentence,not to call another not so pleasent word.

    The only thing the Dutch were good at, taking other nations possessions by force, they accomplished anything, they were a nation of parasitic merchants that were only good at piracy. Thats the Dutch legacy.

    We the Portuguese never had the hability of "singing" our deeds like for ex. the Brits. Our History is so rich that if any Hollywood director had the curiosity of learning it he would had for shore several blockbuster movies. But we the Portuguese, we are born from such a strange breed that even if we were the first ones on Mars he couldn't tell to others the same way it really happened because we wouldn't be able to do it so ... some are genious on writing books others find greatness on living them. Does anyone knows the life story of the Portuguese pirate Bartolomeu Português, the one that wrote the 1st "pirates code" later followed by the pirates John Philips, Edward Low, etc? Or, does annyone knows the life story of Pero da Covilhã the spy of the Portuguese king D. João II that by his own deeds changed Europe's geopolitical scenario? ... I could be here the following weeks because with almost 900 years of age Portugal has a lot to tell but we just don't know how!!!

    Portuguese gunnery was as good as British gunnery. Had the Spanish allowed them free rein against Drake's ships, rather than trying to board them, the outcome of the Spanish Armada may have been different.

    There are so many things I liked about this video. First of all great topic and I’m so glad learn about Viriathus as I’m teaching my kids about history of Spain. It was top quality and very interesting. Excellent choices for illustrations and video. Your voice was easy to listen to and your music was not overbearing like some other channels. We also appreciated your subtle humor. I was sad to see that perhaps you are not still making them. Regardless, thank you so much for this wonderful gift to history living community! Wishing you much success!

    He was probably born in Folgosinho, Serra da Estrela. And there isn't so much information on him as many YT "historians" want to make believe🤣 "schoolars of the time", the roman historian who wrote about him did it 100 years later. Anyway, if anyone has the oportunity to visit such places, do it. It will change you.

  • @paulocastro9920
    @paulocastro9920 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Pois. Como é que Portugal manteve séculos o controlo no Brasil depois da perda de independência de 1580 e da derrota da invencível armada ? Foram as fortificações? Foi o exército ou a marinha ? Não. A história conta que os índios e os negros faziam guerra de guerrilha aos holandeses e franceses. Por isso, em boa parte se fala português no Brasil e não holandês ou francês. Aliás, experimentem ouvir “A garota de Ipanema”, cantada em holandês e perceberão que jamais seria a mesma coisa. Portugal e Brasil são irmão s, tal como são irmãos dos portugueses todos os povos que com os portugueses conviveram de perto. Reconhecer e viver esta realidade é reconhecer o maior tesouro de todos.

      What proof do you have of that? Loriga (meaning cuirass) got its name from being a bulwark of resistence, but that doesn't mean he was from the region. It only means it was a defensive position that Viriato chose to make a stand against the romans.

    As portuguese I'm glad he lost so our ancestors could enjoy the perks of roman civilization, their aquaducts, baths, roads, hospitals, vibrant trade and security against raiders and pirates. They paid all those amenities in slaves and heavy taxes, though. That part was not nice at all.

    • @Cobalt1520
      @Cobalt1520 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In fact. Even admitting defeat, they tried to diminish the Portuguese fighters saying most Macau soldiers were Africans. That's some serious hatred and despise. Makes me think about those claims of the Dutch PM about the Portuguese spending all the EU money in "girls and alcohol", a few years ago... the prejudice is strong over there.
