Back when I was a student at university in the early 1980s, I took a legend and myth history course. One of the lectures involved her discussing Portugal's roll in the great age of discovery. The following class, the professor had mentioned that after the previous lecture, many students had come up to her to discuss what they had just learned. They were all astounded at the magnitude of Portugal's role in discovering the new world. As a result, the professor dedicated that day's lecture strictly to the influence of Portugal during those centuries of great exploration. Being of Portuguese background, I felt so proud that these students were finally understanding just how important role Portugal played in the centuries coming out of medieval Europe. Yes, Portugal kick started one of the most important periods in world history. Portugal is the sea.
As a portuguese, the resumed explanation why this is happening is very simple
-Portugal likes fish
-Atlantic sea has good fish
-Portugal conquers the atlantic sea
-Profit
I found few mistakes in the video, want you to clarify one potential mistake: why the canaries on the map in the video don't have the ocean territories belong them, just Portuguese islands?
@@volgshtein Good Question... If i had to guess, since i cant quite seem to fully understand your question, it is because portugal is divided into several methods of division, being the least defined NUTS I and the most NUTS III. In the NUTS I, there is only 3 portuguese divisions: Continental Portugal, RAA(Região Autonoma dos Açores, Autonomous Region Of the Azores, AKA Islands in the middle of the northern atlantic ocean, amazing place), and the RAM(Região Autónoma da Madeira, Autonomous Region of the Madeira Islands, AKA Islands next to the Spanish Canary islands and birthplace of Cristiano Ronaldo). Since the Madeira Islands are a Huge part of the portuguese territory in what comes to a possible expansion, its clear the maps representing the Already-in-usage territory expansion would wish to detail the fact that portugal owns territory in the african continent, expanding their water borders by a huge landslide!
Does this awnser your question?
@@volgshtein then costa spends the money money, and puff, we fucked again
@@fatkrab7556 thank you. I'm trying to say that on the maps in this video you can see all ocean territories around Portuguese islands are belong to Portugal, but i guess that the same should be for the Spanish islands and for territories of other countries with access to the sea, like Morocco. So this is not shown on this maps and I don't know how is the real division on the water works.
@@fatkrab7556 i found the answer: savage islands
Netherlands: We are expanding our territory by making land!
Portugal: *We are expanding our territory...metaphorically*
By making that possible, that would require a lot of work and nobody would want to expand the country double its size for what and talk about the rising sea level that's not possible.
Netherlands is the Russian guy of the party
China: *We are expanding our territory for political gain!*
its very hard to do that kind of infrastructure in portugal. the north sea is 20m deep on average, and the estuaries in the netherlands dont get much deeper than that. in portugal, the coast starts rigt at the depth 80m in the end of the tagus and 500 m just a few kilometers of the coast.
this helps the upwelling and that's one reason why the portuguese beaches are extremely cold.
in the canon of nazaré it can get to 2000 m even closer to the coast. even the duch cant polder this far... i mean... lets not give them ideas.....
@@Duck-wc9de Bro, in algarve the water temperature was 23 celsius thats very hot, only the side facing the ocean is cold and not "extremely"
There’s literally nothing wrong or crazy about territory expansion, all the fish jn the water are Portuguese and should pay their due taxes.
With their flesh!!!
If fish could pay taxes the British would have never let their navy diminish as much as it has.

I don't think most people would mind the extension of their EEG.
Actually 2-3 decades ago they had found a large reserve of oil fields a few miles from the mainland coast. They held a referendum and the majority of people (like over 80% if I remember correctly), voted not to drill oil. The reason is that it would probably affect their coastline and tourism, a major part of Portugese economy. So yeah, they have a lot of resources in the sea but aren't using them to attain their countries beauty, and if you've ever visited Portugal it has a beautiful coast.
Yet the money that this EEG would assembly line in, would give Portugal the necessary funds to keep its prestine coastline prestine. Using the money revenue, and may even lead to another technology that environmentalists would love, liek clean coal, clean ocean gas. Could you imagine how many places around the world could benefit from something like this? Far reaching potential, that we would deny ourselves? Is just sad.
Não acredito que esse referendo tenha acontecido...
@@ericjohnson7234 Studies were done at the time. Portugal was hardly going to profit from the exploration due to the agreements that were in place with the oil drilling companies.
@@Betokan that is still alot of natural resources that can help Europe out of a spot if we are to retake Europe for the good of its people. sounds like a broken record but im not done yet. I want Europe returned to its peoples hands. perhaps that can still be done through the gods hands. a godlike wonder. perhaps? A miracle?
The decision not to explore oil in Portuguese territory was probably one of the best decisions of the last 60 years in Portugal and the Portuguese who think otherwise are very stupid. The Portuguese state would only receive +- 45 thousand euros/month for all occupied land areas and 575 thousand euros/month for maritime areas. and royalties (value paid per barrel) 0.1% to 5% per barrel in maritime explorations and between 3% to 8% in land explorations depending on the production volume. To make matters even worse, all oil and gas discovered would belong entirely to the concessionaire with no obligation to stay in the country.

Informative, useful, and helpful.
Just a correction: when Portugal was ruled from Rio, Brazil wasn't a colony anymore, it was part of the Kingdom, so Portugal wasn't ruled from its colony.
It was called the United Kingdom of Portugal and Brazil.
I think it's impossible to be ruled from a colony since if the royal family settles there it automatically becomes part of the country.
Actually, it was called the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and Algarves. Because the official name of Portugal was Kingdom of Portugal and Algarves, so when Brazil became part of the kingdom, they had to change the name

Brazil getting independence and keeping all of his territory instead of breaking apart in small republics is the most big brain move, just saying
Pedro was a smart men and recognized in the entire Europe. Not only a hero for Brazil, but also for Portugal.
1) The elite wanted to rule Brazil their own way.
2) Pedro took the initiative to keep the territory in the Braganzas dynasty.
3) He became King of Portugal while being Emperor of Brazil and abdicated the title for his oldest daughter, Maria. His brother (Miguel) married her.
4) He abdicated the Emperor title of Brazil for his son and returned to Portugal to liberate the Kingdom from his brother and mother in a Civil War.
5) He also was invited to be the King of Spain and Greece.
6) He died young with tuberculosis and his heart is conserved in a glass. He died in the same palace where he was born.
7) He was an advocate for the human rights and his last letter was sent to the Brazilian government to serious considerate the abolition of the slavery.

Actually, as a Brazilian, I was taught that Dom Pedro I was aware of his need to leave Brazil if he wanted to keep Portugal's throne, so for the royal family not to lose control of Brazil, he had left his son Dom Pedro de Alcantara as a Principe Regente of the country. The story about deciding to "seize power" was written from the first moment the royal family left Brazilian lands.

É: Means affirmation: Portugal É (o) mar - Portugal is the Sea (which would be correct).
E: Add something to the sentence: Portugal e Mar - Portugal and the Sea.
This mistake is not the end of the world, just an observation.

im from the Azores... now in Canada... Nice to see some recognition after so much history... BTW the war was the reason both my parents ended up in canada, my neighbors are from Angola, ended up here for the same reason.
I wonder how the transition into "modern times" of the French colonial empire compare to Portugal's. I have the impression Britain just gave up on it, knowing it was a lost battle, so it created the Common Wealth instead. Portugal was arguably on the other side of it: inflexible, lost it all. But France seems to have maintenained a lot of its old empire worldwide, using a similar strategy to the Portuguese: making those territories (somewhat) integral to the "European France".
Exactly. I'm from Ireland which used to be a part of the British empire. All that remains here is Northern Ireland which will likely unify with the rest of Ireland in the near future. Britain, more specifically England, has rendered itself to being a small, nationalistic, small-minded and increasingly isolated nation. It's quite embarrassing and sad to see how much they've fucked themselves up with Brexit. Very few countries want to trade with them as they're seen as unstable and untrustworthy. That's how many former colonial powers end up. One needs only to look at Russia...
the country that begun integrating the overseas lands into the territory into equal terms was Spain, and if not the anglosaxon influence in the elites, and the napoleon invasion, very probably Spain would have stayed a unified nation, maybe divided in 3-4 pieces maximum(with american territories as main powers and spain as a side province) Still today you can see how succesfull that interrupted model was mixing and bringing to the world a new kind of people: the hispanoamericans. (no matter how badly the history has treated them). France and Portugal arrived a bit late, and coulndt get it. this model is known as the "roman empire model" a generator empire, in oposition to the british empire that was a predator model only.(only where they could exterminate the natives, they would generate).
@@randalthor1955 Anglosaxon influence in the elites? What do you mean, maybe, the international influence of 1776?
"I have the impression Britain just gave up on it"
No, it doesn't exist, no Empire give up like that. It's not because the Brits did destroy their archives that nothing happened in the colonies.
And for France I don't understand your statement. No the French Empire is long gone. French Guyana and a few islands isn't whatI would call "a lot".
@@randalthor1955 Roman Empire was predator as well. They took countries and transferred wealth to Rome.
Roman collapsed because it was taking more than it gave.
I'm just imagining the day when Portugal and Atlantis suddenly went to war for territorial claims.
Fun fact: Atlantis is actually New Zealand, because most of its territory is now underwater (95%) and used to be land with vegetation and everything. I know Atlantis was just a mythological history but NZ matches the plot so well :D
@@morganlee5774 Actually, there are multiple "missing continents" or atleast thought to be missing continents throughout history. Atlantis is considered to be a possibility, but it is not considered New Zealand, considering atlantis was considered to be in the atlantic lmao
@@morganlee5774 There's popular legends correlated to the Azores archipelago, about its islands being the top of the mountains of Atlantis after it sunk, and also stories about lake princesses. The island of Madeira is know as the Pearl of the atlantic. So I think portuguese islands can more closely relate to the legend of Atlantis than New zealand XD
Heh, how do you think Atlantis ended up sinking.

Excellent resume of Portugal history. Congrats.
lol I was never told shit about Portugal in high school or community college except like basic info on 3 Portuguese explorers. Honestly learning that Portugal started the age of European Imperialism as far back as 1415 and that Rome at its apex did not have all the land assets that Portugal did was crazy!
Most people: Clean the sea
Portugal: Become the sea
well its pretty much the same in this case, cuz we have been taking good care of our "backyard" the more our "backyard" grows, the more area of the sea beneficts from our protection ;)

I think it changes when all countries have their maritime territory added like Portugal. It may be an error though
@@user-fc7kj2hv3w , most countries will never be able to claim as much as Portugal for the simples reason that the their cathegory is based on the continental shelf size. Portugal does not have a continental shelf and thus will simply state that the whole north atlantic sea bed is part of it's "continental shelf". That is something that the UK or Ireland, the USA or Canada, which have large continetal shelves, will never be able to do. That is also why, few countries actually resquested to expand their territories, because few can find a reason to do so. Portugal's very proposal is in fact open. The project "Mar Portugal" leaves the door open for further expansions under the permission that there is a continum between the land being claim and the land beyond those bounderies. In other words, Portugal will eventuallu claim even more and did not do it yet simply because there are scientific studies that need to be presented in the UN that are still undone.

Great video, excellent graphics and great to see the history of an amazing country like Portugal going mainstream. A few facts worth mentioning, Napoleon never conquered the Portugal but a few areas of it, Goa is not a city, it is the smallest province of India, and would've been worth mentioning the main reason for the decline of the Portuguese empire being the infamous Iberian Union.
Has any one else noticed the contradiction at 8:37 and at 10:34 Portugal is being criticized for being the the last European country to leave its colonies, but at 12:33 France is said to still possesses a large overseas empire with no critique attached, this is just a concreate example of the condescending tone all this video has, and how the perspective over historical events is obviously manipulated according to the one telling the story. Respect should be used when we talk about countries and cultures and historical events, in this specific case Portugal is an ancient and historically relevant country and culture, and when we criticize it you are potentially offending millions of persons, why the condescending tone?
In the video he comments that Portugal has a tendency to try to be bigger that it is, if this not condescending I don't know what is.
I'm not earing the narrator criticizing Rome, a single city state was able to grow to be the largest empire at the time in the west, isn't that trying to be bigger that it is? No critique there?
It's obvious that any bully enjoys kicking the one lying on the ground, and Portugal once big is now small and poor, so appetizing isn't it? go for it, kick it once more. It says more about your personality than about Portugal's history :)

The British did this (ostensibly) with their Empire, also. In fact, when Ghandi visited Britain in '31, he couldn't understand why he wasn't granted the same level of respect/ deference as a British-born citizen, rather than as a citizen of the colonies. The belief that everyone in India was a British citizen, with equal standing, was a significant factor that kept India within the British Empire. When Ghandi discovered that it wasn't true, it was a significant motivating factor in striving for Indian independence.

Ferdinand Magellan once stated:
"The sea is dangerous and its storms terrible, but these obstacles have never been sufficient reason to remain ashore...unlike the mediocre, intrepid spirits seek victory over those things that seem impossible...it is with an iron will that they embark on the most daring of all endeavors...to meet the shadowy future without fear and conquer the unknown"
Bravery is not enough. Humble faith is essential. Probably why Magellan's personal plan was interrupted by other proud, aggressive people.

@@linkin5088 Well, if you call smart, giving weapons to rebels so they can massacre the local population and promoting a guerrila war. So I wouldn't say that they were smart on what they were fighting for. However they were smart on they way they planned it, by giving NATO equipment to Portugal and allying with the regime because it was anti communist and funding the rebels at the same time they made sure that if Portugal won they might have access to the oil and the region doesn't turn communist, if the rebels won US would have the oil and the region might turn communist. Notice that I said "they were smart on the way they planned" because what really happen was just dumb, US decided to give the rebels an advantage and prohibited the use of NATO equipment in africa but the rebels still lost the fight, they would however win independence because of a coup, but that made the region become communist and the oil was nationalised.
USSR on the other hand won the geographic influence, but it didn't last long because the communist regimes became non aligned social democrats.

Correction: Portuguese overseas territories had been already severely eroded way before the 1755 earthquake destroyed Lisbon. Our king Sebastian dying in battle without an heir in 1578 led Portugal to fall under the rule of the Spanish crown, which was at war with England (our oldest ally) and later the Netherlands. Which effectively opened all those territories to attack and invasion.
It's the most important loss actually. Asian colonies were by far the most profitable. Brazil just allowed Portugal to decline slowly.
