Eternal Portuguese-Iberian-Anglo Alliance thread. As usual, Brazilians, Spaniards and Brits are VIPs. Others are welcomed to join in and talk about our country. Let's talk about how we'll get rid of the filth plaguing our countries, share dank Salazares, post qt. Portuguese chicks, and tell Mário Soares to FUCK OFF.

can someone just give me a tl;dr of Portugal?
this is literally all I know
>mostly flat country
>natural mountain borders with Spain

>Brazil/huehue

>had some fascist ruler for a time

that's it
Jacob Watson
Shit tier Iberian country full of degenerate men and women. Iberia and France are unique in that they are the only western countries where the men are just as useless and degenerate as the average women.
I'm surprised their countries still function. I assume Jews are keeping them afloat to help flood europe with migrants.

isn't that right? look at your own map
the green shit is flat Portugal, the mountain shit is Spain
Nicholas Smith
Have at it.
John Allen
Not really. The only mountain between Portugal and Spain is the Serra de Estrela range. Iberia is a highland which transforms into a comparative lowland roughly when you hit the Portuguese border. There's no natural border constituted by mountains between the two, really.
Andrew Adams
What's the Portugese political system like?
Parties, president, dictator?
Socialist, Capitalist, mixed, command/free market Keynesian?
What are the biggest parties, what do people generally vote for?
Christopher Richardson
Socialists (left), or social democrats (conservatives), like everywhere else in europe. The rest are fringe that onlye existnto help onenof those 2 to get majority when needed

So how did the Colonial war end, how did the colonies gain independence and exactly what colonies did Portugal have that gained independence?
Benjamin Rivera
Bellic victory on Angola and Mozambique, stalemate in Guinea (with us controlling the only city).
We left because it reeked of commienism, but we had still won.
Nathan Reyes
Fuck off, Mário.

A few questions:
>Is Portuguese difficult to learn?
>How's life there?
>You don't seem to be as messed up as the rest of the West, is this true?

Ryan Lopez
But why did you retract from these places?
Forced by UN or the fact that everyone was retracting?
Adrian Cooper
Colonial war ended by us pulling off our troops, since the dictatorship had been overthrown and the (((communists))) wanted to transition to a democratic state. We had Moçambique, Angola, Cabo Verde, East Timor, Guinea Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe, and a few other small territories. Macau was also ours and we actually kept it under our control until 1999.
en.wikipedia.org
"The possessions were Angola, Cape Verde, Macau, Mozambique, Portuguese Guinea, Portuguese India, Portuguese Timor, São João Baptista de Ajudá and São Tomé and Príncipe."
John Bennett
>Is Portuguese difficult to learn?
It's like Spanish on extra hard mode. We use almost all the sounds you can imagine.
>How's life there?
Bretty good.
>You don't seem to be as messed up as the rest of the West, is this true?
Only economically. Socially it has it's problems, but it's mostly pretty chill.
If you want to get drunk and smash shit, go to Spain instead, though. We'd really appreciate it. Portugal is to be quiet and proper. Unless at the pub, of course.
Forced by the UN and the coup. We were winning, but at the cost of men. Since we didn't have the UN support, staying there would become prohibitively expensive money and lives-wise.
Hudson Peterson
They gained independence, in africa etc. because we (the communists and leftists) gave them to them after the revolution
Portuguese military victory in Angola and Mozambique. Portugal regains full control of the territory of Angola and almost all of Mozambique by the end of the conflict (1974); maintenance of the nationalist movements´s headquarters and its political bodies in neighboring countries during the war. Military stalemate or Portuguese partial defeat in Portuguese Guinea.[2][3]
Political, social and diplomatic erosion of the Estado Novo regime
Fall of the Estado Novo regime (Carnation Revolution)[4]
Subsequent withdrawal of all Portuguese troops from Africa under the Lusaka and Alvor agreements
Cooper Ward
pic related, and see the above comment
Kevin Rogers
forced by UN, external pressure, and during the Coup they pushed away general Spinola which advocate us to keep the colonies
Justin Bailey
That's good to hear. Portugal has been on my short list of places to move to if disaster strikes, which are basically the countries that are either Anglo or culturally/historically the closest to us.
Julian Adams
Make sure you go to the North, and to a small town. Almost no immigrants or shitskins there, no matter how many tax breaks our government tries to give people who move to the south.

I'll take your word. It'll be years before I'm in a position to actually do so and who knows what'll be going on by then, but even if I was born too late to help save my own country I can do my part for her oldest friend.

What is Spain doing here? They usually play the Indian role?
Or is this the Anti-French thread?

Last couple of times we cross-pollinated, we both ended up in Port Wine and Tea becoming the de facto drinks of our countries-
What's it gonna be next? Um Bongo is exclusive to both our countries, so that's low-hanging fruit.

Gavin Powell
gets rainy a lot during the winter and spring. rest of the year is more or less constant sunny days with cool breeze and not too much heat, but also not too much cold. Mountains surrounding you.
I'd suggest you look up the districts of Cávado, Ave, Bragança, Viseu, and Coimbra and then go over the surrounding towns.
Look up Monsanto.
