The Spanish speak so loud we could hear them coming miles away.

4:12 "in 1578, King Sebastian of Portugal died."
No he didn't! He just disappeared! He will probably come back one day to retake the throne...

[AliasJVD]

I love Portugal, I'm from Spain and I lived 4 months in Portugal, they are so good people, and they are our brothers literally, we never will attack them, we DEFEND THEM.

[ricnyc]

Because Portugal and Spain couldn't not agree about the meaning of "largo".
Largo in Portuguse means "wide", in Spanish it means "long".

[scienceme]

The real question is why didn't Andorra conquer both of them?

[pedromoreira]

So so much misinformation:
- “Portugal emerged as a kingdom in 1128” that’s wrong, the battle off S.Mamede was then but the kingdom only existed as such from the date of the treaty of Zamora...5th of October 1143
- Portugal had already begun it’s expansion way before Columbus, 1415, 77 years before
-Kinda misleading to say Portugal acquired Brazil in the treaty of Tordesillas since Brazil hadn’t yet been discovered.
- French invasion did not force the royal family out, the royal family had already left and made Rio the capital of the empire, and by inference, Portugal a colony of a Brazil. Hence, as confusing as this might be, the French conquered a very small colony of Brazil.
- “Portugal is a hilly country” may I introduce you to the south of Portugal
- “lack of interest” yeah sure,
- 1383 - Invasion
- 1580 - Invasion
- 1640 - Invasion
- 1762 - Invasion
- 1807 - Invasion
Just the ones I remember by heart, I imagine there are many more. Over 250, 000 Spanish soldiers died trying to conquer Portugal, a quarter of million, seems a lot for someone supposedly so “uninterested”


On a positive note, nice video and graphics and thanks for bringing up Portuguese history :)

A Portugal no hay que conquistarlo, ya lo tenemos como algo nuestro, a Portugal lo tenemos en nuestros corazones, somos hermanos y nos amamos y respetamos mutuamente.

[avantelvsitania]

4:13 - You should never put “King Sebastian” and “died” on the same phrase, unless you want to trigger all of Portugal

We are still waiting for him....

[mpinheiro]

Today Portugal and Spain are good neighbours Many of us like to spend some time on holidays on the other country and have friends there. A happy end therefore and let's remain as it is

[paladinramos]

As a Portuguese I feel obliged to say:
"Because o car*lho que te f*da! That's why!"

[Ayy_Doll_Fiddler]

Why Spain did not conquer Portugal?

Because the Spanish failed to convince the Portuguese to drop the "J' sound in their language.

Why wasn't Portugal conquered by Spain?


Because we won most battles even though we were always outnumbered.

[fabiocosta]

I personally get chills just by learning portugal`s history, warrior people who always were few against many, and fought bravely against the romans, then the muslims, spanishes, were the first to explore the oceans and managed to become the first global empire. As a brazilian I am proud of my portuguese ancestry.

[prtby]

I'm from a Portuguese background and can confirm there is no hate for our Spanish brothers, there is rivalry yes, especially when it comes to football but never hate. Spain is a beautiful country with beautiful people, much respect.

[belialord]

Interesting fact: The Anglo-Portuguese alliance is the oldest alliance in the world still in force.

[KpRdS]

you forgot to tell when Spain came to Portugal with 30k dudes and lost against 5k portuguese dudes, good times.

[cristinabhagavan]

Love from Spain to our portuguese brothers and sisters.

Nas escolas brasileiras nos ensinam a odiar Portugal. Depois de adulto é que tive a oportunidade de conhecer a história Portuguesa. Parabéns Tugas, vcs são diferenciados!
