Portugal: Britain! Our good friend! What are we talking about today-
Britain: Give me part of your empire

[multiversepatriot]

King Manuel II, a patriot so devoted he didn’t want to be restored through civil war. What a guy.

[FastTquick]

Now I really want to see a video about the failure of the Portuguese Republic and the rise of Antonio Salazar and the Estado Novo.

[MrDuckTrollson]

GB: We've been friends for quite a while, right Portugal?
Portugal: Well yes I supose we have.
GB: *Draws service revolver* So how about you hand over some of that land in Africa as a gesture of friendship.

[someguy]

"...name definitly didn't have and L in it.." - You already earned my full respect in the first 10 seconds!

[MDD]

There is a verse in the Portuguese anthem that goes "Against the cannons march, march". It was originally "Against the British, march, march".
Wonder how that would have turned out

[der_baerlauch]

Every "Hearts of Iron IV: The Great War" player knows that Portugal became a republic in 1910

[roel]

Apparently the Portugese mustache game is strong

[dutchministryofdefence]

Portugal was the third european country to overthrow their king?


since when did Switzerland had a king?
edit: ( can we have a video about how Switzerland gained a Republic? I am intrested now )

Portugal in 1910: we hate Britain

Portugal in 1916: lets help Britain

[thearousedeunuch]

Quick answer: It got shot. Well, the King and his heir were, at least.
Greetings from Portugal.

[shekels]

I was trying to think of a good joke but the British already claimed it in the name of his majesty king Edward VII

[JonatasAdoM]

"Portugal and England are one of the oldest allies in history"
History Matters: "About that.."

[matthewlee]

Fun fact: Portugal is the only European nation who’s monarch ruled it from one of its colonies (Brazil).

[hahaha]

Atleast they didn't eat their king 🤷‍♂️

Edit: You guys must be fun at Partys ..

[YoungWooPark]

I feel the whole process started much earlier with the monarchy moving the capital to Brazil to flee from Napoleon and stay there for over a decade. Then, they lost their biggest colony of Brazil once they return to Europe, because of a family feud - leaving Portugal in a much weaker state than their former rivals.

[youngbloodfantasy]

I almost expected him to say “From Afonso I, whose name definitely didn’t have an “l” in it, to Manuel II, whose name definitely did...”

[oswald]

Portuguese Republicans: Our king is too pro British, we hate Britain for taking advantage of us.
Britain: Yo, Portugal want to come fight in the Great War
Portuguese Republicans: 😏

[salahddinebensebane]

Imagine betraying everyone even your oldest ally
This post was made by the british gang

[cristiano]

Fun fact, the national anthem of Portugal at one time (when the Republic was inaugurated) one part said "against the Brits, we march!" this part replaced "Brits" to "cannons" on later years
