>Do our culture sucks so bad that nobody cares??
Seems a logical aswer until now

we wuz kanzg and shiet

I actually have a question about your history: When you fought a war against Spain in the colonies, what stopped the Spanish from just invading you directly?

our small empire that most europeans countries wouldn't boast about fell apart soon after we kicked out the jews.
what does this mean? With Jews You Win!

WE

Lost your empire, destroyed by socialism, joined the EU.
Basically Britain lite and there are more self centered Anglos on here than any race, so you don't get a look in.
That said, couple of my favourite libertarian sci-fi writers are porto born or descended - Larry Corriea & Sarah Hoyt.

OP, please try other boards. This pt chan or leddit for polandball

Because all their women have moustaches.

We we're the first to got the collonies(we were super rich) plus it was the only time in history except now that we had the same thinking(if you refer to africa spanish didnt have any it was part of the deal they got mexico we got brasil and the other big countries like angola and moçambique)

You were talked about. Catholic church gave you big parts of the Americas.

>triggered by people talking shit about his shitty country
>MODS PLS DELET REEEE
>leddit for polandball
>polandball literally invented by Sup Forums
wew lad I think you're the one who might have to go back

I knew all that. What I find strange is that the Spanish didn't end the conflict in the Americas by invading you first and then taking your colonies.

We got Cristiano ronaldo and the best supermodel
sara sampaio(try stoping to jack off when she is doing photo sessions for bra's)

>Why Isnt portugal talked in History classes
Portugal is discussed in pre-American history, but Jesus you guys haven't done anything in 500 years.

You declined Columbus and, as a result, only got second pickings in South and Latin America.

>History class in U.S.
>British Empire hammed up to 100. Even though Brits were literally irrelevant prior to the mid 1600s.
>Spanish Empire is presumed the most evil and corrupt
>French Empire is full of lazy baguettes but 'muh independence.'
>Portuguese are barely mentioned outside of a brief mention of Magellan.
>1776 covered
>The U.S. is portrayed as this embattled, oppressed colony having to resort to guerilla warfare.
>French help during the war is heavily mentioned, although toned down when it comes to actual battles.
>Spain is literally not even mention during the war of independence even though they did as much as France.
>Netherlands is ignored as well, although they played a minor role.
>They make it seem like it was the British Empire vs USA and a handful of French.
>Instead of British Empire vs Colonies + France + Spain + Dutch +Merchants.

Honestly, I love my country but I fucking hate revisionist history. I think it is imperative to retell history as accurately as possible. When I took my first Civ class in university I felt like an ignorant retard. I literally learned nothing from history classes.

>Helped Hitler and the Usa in the ww2
What did you do?
Did you send 50.000 men to the eastern front like your relevant neighbor?

Your only achievement is Brazil and that really says it all.

Look at an example of a /his/ thread about Portugal

Hey we are not so bankrupted now, the soft commies helped us unlike every other political party
Plus we won the euro I dont know how, But we kicked the frenchies out(resulting in many press s having to reprint pre-news)

No we offer Hitler Tungstenio(dont know how its called in english)
and to usa we offer best airport in europe in Açores Since it was safe plus we had many airplane fightings in the south AxisXAllies and many submarines were destroyed because of the airfields we provided to america(not by the airplanes they were just recons)

As an American I didn't learn much about the Portuguese empire in public school other than a few basics. Once I got to college though I started picking up on how awesome the Portuguese empire was and then continued reading up on it from there.

I've always wondered how far the Empire would have gotten if it weren't for the fact that the crown got inherited by Spain for a brief period leading to them getting jumped by all the Protestant powers.

>Prussia's role is apparently so ignored that not even user making a list about countries that were ignored mentions it.

is portugal a city or....?

Brazil cares, portubro

we learn a lot about portuguese history and literature.

Prussia is hardly mentioned in US history at all

funny how self centered basic US history classes are reading this

real story:

>art class
>learning about Monet
>professor(feminist dyke cunt) is reading a book about him for the class
>we were really young like 11 years old
>she reads the word Prussia
>some student says: "lol, they wrote Russia wrong
>stupid professor agrees and change the word using a pen

just

>small empire
Literally twice as large as the Roman Empire

dont know we were very offensive and we take time to reallize whats bad or wrong so i would say we would invade the insides of brasil, holland and our own buddy england would start to invade us, and we would lose and quit at the same time brasil(northern part) only keeping the south of the continent ours, and maibe later england with is non normie army would just see that we portugal and spain were just keeping too much(like sugar, banana, tea(so america probably didnt exist england would take over without the tea party(because our only non normie queen was addicted to tea and decided to share with england some of the experience)))

We used klowledge of local terrain to defend from land invasion, the north is made of many villages and valleys, plus they would have to cross the Douro river, so they usually invaded from the south/center of the country we´re we had many fortresses.

Meanwhile our navy was always better, even tough smaller.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_War

There's a fair bit of evidence that the Portuguese were already poking about in the Americas before Columbus made his proposition. It's possible that Corte-Real had already found Newfoundland about 20 years before Columbus discovered Hispaniola, and it seems probably that they were aware of coastal Brazil, which they received as part of Tordesilhas.

S...sorry user-kun.

depends if you ask any french they'll say were a cancer cell, if you ask a spanish(depending on the region some really like us) theyll say were weaboos but too england were his litle buddy who is to ingenuous to fight back being used as a meat shield(ww1), to america were just the part of spain who didnt get caught by madrid SO yeah fuck me in the ass plz

hows it going there brazil

We like the Portugal Bro now send many pastéis de nata. Nom!

mais ainda fizemos os espanhois chorar na batalha de aljubarrota
(trans:More we made spanish cry at the aljubarrota batle(today the region is called batle, were not good naming things)

It's hardly surprising, almost any retard can be a teacher in the U.S. The qualifications are a joke. Nobody takes their job seriously and the history books are written by revisionist historians who ham up niggers and how badly us 'evil whites' treated them. President Lincoln is talked about like the second coming of Christ. Barely cover Washington's presidency; Andrew Jackson is viewed with disdain. Probably one of the most important Presidents, Teddy Roosevelt is only mentioned when it comes to how he crushed monopolies and not how he single handedly turned the U.S. into an international power. Don't even get me started on Nixon. He's talked about like a Hitler-lite. No mention about how he took us off the gold-standard or opening trade with China. Everything is about 'muh watagayte.'

I didn't even go to public school either. Private Roman Catholic school. Those fucking brothers were more liberal than most of my university professors.

>Plus we won the euro I dont know how, But we kicked the frenchies out(resulting in many press s having to reprint pre-news)

What a great stuff, won a competition plating with guys from all around the world and not with only native whiyte portuguese or at least europeans.

We forced them to walk around a river taking arrows, to afunilate them in the place we laid our traps, After a few hours the slauther was so big they ran beliving their king died

strangely we're very normie based so the only good pastel de nata that is very good is pastel de belem shop at lisbon the line makes you wait 2 hours to get one(and you have to reserve a spot if you want to sit down IN A CAFE) so if you want a good pastel de nata at a good cost without a line you ironicly have to go to lidl...
Thats why i call every non normie refugee emigrant terrorist to portugal to see if we have any change.
plz im desperate we even accept feminist except the ones who are thin because they can climb stairs(we have lots of stairs here)

Portuguese volunteers in the eastern front were from 300 to 1000 maximum, or inside blue division or inside other germans units.

At least we can call theire team, niggers
and say that we won something(eurovision doesnt counts the other soungs werent special, plus we never understood what we had to do)

No at least Salvador Sobral is portuguese. while our fottball team has players from everywhere, multicultural

>Wins eurovison
>Says "I have the feeling i could shit on stage and you would all cheer"
>People claps
>Procedes with is pro refugee demagogy
>Never mentioning the portuguese venezuelans

>coming of Christ. Barely cover Washington's presidency; Andrew Jackson is viewed with disdain. Probably one of the mos
Dont worry budy the only thing i learned from u is that u didnt want to help in ww1 were forced to it by the british like we did(cause of that shipwreck) and in ww2 we didnt talk about anithing just in fascism and communism But latter on i discovered the tea party(kinda) trought another big american creation family guy(learned that the tea party is anaquist but then i read in the wiki youre libertarian as socialism is soft comunism) also whats the joke about we being redneck guese i dont understand the first part...

Poortugal? More like MOORtugal.

>Went Fighting In WW1(as meat shields)
You just described every soldier in WW1 my dude also we learnt about the Portuguese empire when I went to high school, not sure if they still do that any more though

SHUT UP, we don't have muslims rn, let's keep it that way, oh noo we're irrelevant, that's good, idiot

>poor
one of the 35 richest countries in the world and wikth a very high quality of life

>moors
expelled by sword and kicked so bad

Sure jamal, sure. i bet you are a grandson of slaves.

prussia who?

NO try going to leiria and live there for a few weeks youll see thats just a shit city full of normies who think theyve got money and worst of all they act like every bitch in a porche camero plus if you got a mercedes in this city your socially superior(at least in the road) and Police doesnt do shit about everione selling their cars with fliers wich are strictly illegal by law

This.

Portugal is a really nice place, the less people know about it the better.

Plus i like jews and muslims if we didnt kick them out we would be rich and have small terrorism groups like big germany and england

We have no musllim imigration but we have from our old colonies, so we are fucked in the long run... if nothing changes

i dont know youre contry too for my every country of the north are very Non normie based and thats why every one is so rich plus all of the non normies in portugal flee to ingland and stinky france and norway because we kicked the jews

Correct these people user, their egos are very fragile, a little thing like that makes them feel retarded

Spelled my instead of me well back to the insane asilum

>faggot didn't actually farted on stage
PUSSY
Is sister is hot as fuck though

Is this tread broke i can only update the page when i post something(already use update, auto/update)

What is with this self loathing speech?
The fact that portugal is under the radar and stealth. Is not a bad thing.
You are a 20 million country it is normal that you dpn t get all the attention but how is this bad? You have pne of lowest rate of muslims you have nice cities, etc... Be fucking proud you assholes

You dont know the feel because everione makes pizza, Italian gestures, pasta memes and portugal dont even has memes in my classroom(i am almost at uni) my collegues laugh at a Danielle berggouly meme plus meme culture here is very despized and know one knows what it is except me and a friend wich im talkin in discord right now... Plus i think that when i country becomes known the emigration rates stop dropping and the economy becomes a bit stabler

>>Went Fighting In WW1(as meat shields)
not all were meat shields

Please fucking type properly. How old are you? You're vomiting words.

>Pope
>Catholicism

Sry i dont have a mechanical keyboard and in Sup Forums i post without correct frase ponctuation

Mostly the Church, Treaty of Tordesillas and papal donations divided up territory. War between them directly would have caused a split in the Church so no one wanted it.

WWI, another nonsense war between europeans, for what? battle of la lys was a tragedy for us

Yeah but please stop. Take time to think about the sentence properly. Don't just write your thoughts down as they appear. It's really hard to decipher what you're saying. The other Portuguese are typing coherently so I know you can too. Please spell and punctuate properly. If you don't we can't understand you well.

You spelled a lot wrong there, i dont think your english is good desu

It is when it comes to exploration of the world and colonialism, also Lisbon as a neutral ground during most of WWII. But other than that there's no need to talk about you in other countries' classes, otherwise we'd start putting in Bulgarian and Malawian history into our curriculum.

People want attention, it's human nature, but it's illogical and retarded, specially with the EU still fucking shit up

Also he complained about there not being Portugal memes at school lol like Nigga who cares. I'm more upset about there not being a national and culture identity with distinct cultural markers and powerful symbols that identify us immediately, like Spain having flamenco and bullfighting and the English having tea and industrialization.

I didn't forgot about you PORTUGAL

I think if germany won(only in the first ww) would be better

This is honestly the best time in history to be an unknown land and to build of a strong rconomy, better infrastructure and better educational system. Let's be as unknown as we can.

Obrigado Brasil. Façam mais Paulos kogos para eu me entreter.

I like portugal alot, we learned some about your empire in high school, apart from that I learned some myself cause it baffled me why the spanish didnt just annex you. Anyway I believe our cultures are very close, and I have also played as portugal in most total war games and in crusader kings 2. Man it felt good kicking the muslims out of Iberia and conquering spain as the underdog. I hope I will get to visit you soon, as I am a seaman

We also bullfight but our people dont like it except the part where the guys fight the bull with theyre own hands, if it wasnt portugal england probably did not start driking tea... also i said i care about culture but i think memes are part of the culture

You meant forcados... but yeah talk for yourself, people in the south eat that shit up, they still do largadas in my village every year

[spoiler]you forgot bread, we spread that around, japanese call it "pan" for a reason[/spoiler]

they tried a lot of times, both by war and politics,
always failed

It´s true

I like the portuguese touradas and i´m a northern, i won´t go to one i admitt, but that´s because i´m poor.

Yeah but just because we also do bullfighting it doesn't mean it's a national symbol. We barely have anything we are known for. Nothing you look at that instantly Make a you think "yeah, Portugal." At least not for foreigners.

Memes aren't that important in the grand scheme of things except for millennials
and people like us.

Nigga she looks like a world of warcraft troll

Better?

Yeah i know if you ask a american person Say one thing about portugal they'll say bacalhau and Cristiano Ronaldo(with luck) that also causes me to just put my dick into a meat grinder

Portugal is awesome, much better than stupid ex-USSR nations like Romania. Also, unlike slavs you guys have souls so that's cool too.

Is paulo kogos redpilled?

He's just an ebin memer

Portugal needs a modern day cultural revolution. A call to traditional values, but an improvement upon our flaws such as lazyness and bitterness towards those who are better off. This bitter jealous socialist spirit needs to die. We need to go through austere times.

There was this little Portugese restaurant in my street, they served this excellent suckling pig once in a while, delicious memories.
Also the wife was a pure milf.
Best migrants.

didn't kick them out soon enough

>Why Isnt portugal talked in History classes
1. US History focuses on the US
2. US History is organized geographically
European history is limited to events within Europe itself, Asian history to events within Asia, etc. So the Portuguese Empire only appears sporadically as "portuguese traders" who ventured to Africa, India, Malacca, China, Japan, etc.
3. The Portuguese colonial model in Asia is confusing to American teachers. They have trouble wrapping their heads around the cartaz, or that the fortified warehouses are sometimes translated as factories.
4. History is focused on gains rather than loss. The Portuguese Empire started winding down after attacks from the Dutch. The next centuries saw a slow but steady loss of colonies and possessions to other powers.

Our empire fell when we allowed jewish free masons run the country

Portugal lives as a nation, with national identity and cohesion, not with a multi..... empire

Actually i feel like Romania is like portugal without nothing...
>2 years back be 13
>Dad goes to a mold reunion in oporto that was very important
>The collegues called the biggest brand CEO of the molds in romania so inside the metting the things are very professional and shit must be done so nothing goes wrong
>The romania guy flies from romania all to oporto to see "inovation" and new tecniques and markets you know not like workshops but in that order
Some info about the work place that my dad works
No one does shit except few guys(like my dad who have to do the work of others like my dad should only sell software for molds etc.. but he also has to test molds on fusion etc...
>the romania guy(lets call im igor for simplicity) now its listening to a guy on the microphone that is talking about the software
>some guy ask if it was a fix to a very common problem
>guy in microphone cant talk because it knows it wasnt fixed by the engineers that should've been working on that
>portugal team in that reunion gets roasted and wets theire pants
>my father as always, start getting angery(reference not error) at his collegues talking about how did them not fix the problem if he fixed a lot of other problems and he didnt had a graduate or paycheck for that
>igor comes to my dad and says in english
>So this is like in romania the graduates work for the rich non-literate people
>and my dad really realised that was the case
i get angery when i do realised that in my classroom theres a richguy who doesnt care about culture and only wants new motorcicles and buying very expensive cars...

people in Massachusetts LOVE you. tons of illegals too- fall river especially

quick question, is calling you "a port-ehh-gi" instead of "Portuguese" offensive?

another question- are you to cape verdians what NZ is to Australia?

last question- ever have madeira wine? there is a huge Portuguese festival every year here. fun stuff.

So we make the places livable and then trow it away like Cabo Verde just because Jamal want sum dope?

fucking lefties

civilization wouldnt be the same without of a lot of countries that probably dont get talked about in american schools
