Why doesn't Spain conquer Portugal?

Why doesn't Spain conquer Portugal?

Portugal is easy to conquer but impossible to keep.

They tried it several times and got Barbosa'd

Historical friend modifier.

It's a miracle that Spain itself remain in one piece.
It would be better a decentralized Iberian confederation that can include Portugal.

Portugal has less in common with Spain than US has with canada

Why France doesn't conquer Belgium? Why America doesn't conquer Canada? Why Australia doesn't conquer New Zealand?

because we are allied to spain since times imemorial.
They just can‘t conquer us without fighting themselves first, and by then it‘s easy to take down what‘s left.
Likewise, we can‘t conquer spain (although we almsot did it once) as it would mean to fight against an united spain for once

this. sometimes if you've eaten navarra and PUd aragon before france eats gascony, and you get a claim on gascony, you'll end up going to war with england and dragging portugal into into it. pretty easy to smoosh them before england reinforces and they're far enough away from the rest of europe that the aggressive expansion's not too bad for annexing the north half of the country in a single war.

in real life i think it's because spain is already enough of a hodgepodge of languages and cultures, and portuguese is (as far as i know) even less mutually intelligible with spanish than the dialects currently spoken in spain.

Because they can't

>Portugal filled with Angolans
>Spain filled with Moroccans
>"why doesn't Spain conquer Portugal"

Spain is shit tier Europe. It got conquered by goat fuckers. You know youre a faggot when France has to come to the rescue.

The only good time they had was when Cortez ignored his hack superiors and conquered the Aztecs.

we are doing, just verrrry slowly, one Olivenca at a time...

We're friends now!

They tried.

They failed miserably.

how spain still one country remains a mystery

Hey guys what's going on in this thread?

Who the fuck wants it?

The Portuguese would beat their asses

This applies to literally everywhere.

Play more CK2 fag.

underrated post

>you know you're a faggot when France has to come to your rescue

Uhm, America? Are...are you sure you thought that through?

o'hara v o'reilly lol

screencapped for infinite spanish trolling

That imagine is kinda wrong tho, in Moldova Transnitria is put as a separatist movement while Transnitria is a country on itself, it has their own government, currency and license plates, it has an active military and pretty much everything you can think of, Moldova doesn't even controls the area but since it isn't recognized by most countries its not a "real" one.

Why didnt Spain fight in WW1 or WW2?

That's what happens when a bunch of russians start shit in your country

without portugal you'd be speaking spanish
>(implying you don't already)

>even less mutually intelligible with spanish than the dialects currently spoken in spain.
>what is basque

>You know youre a faggot when France has to come to the rescue.
>what is the american independence war

>we almost did it once
When?

Why would we
We love them

In WWI they decided to stay neutral evens though they favored central powers, mostly Germany, the parliament just decided to stay out of it.
In WWII they sided with the axis but decided to stay neutral again, even tho they helped the germans here and there.
also in WWII the spanish civil ear just ended and I guess the country's military wasn't in condition to fight a war of such scale.

Spanish Civil war*

So American are faggots?

They sent volunteers. Sp Spain should have to pay reparations

By the time of WW1 we had our own problems and didn't partake in any alliance. Althought leftists supported the Entente and conservatives supported the Alliance and it was a hot topic.

He is. Hit the memes too hard.

...

forgot about basque.

Britain

we are brothers :3

Also
This, mainly because our country and pur army weren't in conditions to join the conflict.
The conservative wing of FET de las JONS was more neutral but the left wing (fascists, falangistas...) supported Germany and some wanted to join the Axis.

...

The same reason why Spain won't fight ww3
Someone will public shot Pablo Iglesias triggering another civil war, this time Perro flautas vs cuckservatives, while the rest of the people watches futbol

kebab, kike, injun and moor removal brothers

Then one of the sides hires Moroccans to kill spanish citizens again and the bbc will report on a bunch of people dead around a football game

How about first they take fucking Gibralter before attempting that?

fixed it for ya

With what weapons xD

They do NOT want more north Africans

Vote intention polls say the opposite

This. Also they're allied with England from the beginning so why bother. Only valuable things are Porto and Lissabon for trade power, the rest is not really spectacular.

They tried.

>Andalusia

TOP KEK

>any Basque country
>not including Navarre and Labourd

dem numbers tho

Spain can barely hold on to what they have, what with the economic disparity and separatist movements.... i don't think they could handle an entire nation, Portugal, being annexed.

>You know youre a faggot when France has to come to the rescue.
> USA

lol
fucking amerishits lol
the joke writes itself

Because they can't?

Lmao @ you

...

...

Stupid burger

>Italian allies
Found Spain's weakness.

Spain got a PU over Portugal in my last EU4 run

Spain can get an event to get a PU over Portugal. It used to just instantly integrate them.

Why isn't Ceuta Portuguese?

Why isn't Gibraltar Spanish?

Portugal was part of our empire.

because eternal anglo loves to steal our land.

Why would they need to?

We tried a couple times, we failed sometimes, other times we were united and so on. Now we are friends. Its the beauty of history. Something Americans will never comprehend.

...

>Andalusia
What kind of meme is this?

They can't even survive on their own. They also lack the historical justificación for it. Autonomies were a mistake.
>Captcha

OC hot off the press.

Fuck you Castile.

Fuck forgot the pic

Could Spain joining the Central powers tipped the balance? Seems like France would have had to fight on two fronts.

>mexico
>"our" empire
>Portugal belonging to Spain even
>mfw

Portugal is such a terrible mess! Not even Spain will touch it! SAD.

The Eternal Anglo strikes again.
