because they live next to dirty Mexicans.

Luck, Diplomacy, Skill, Concentrated Power of Will.

How do you feel about your retarded stepson, Brazil?

because they don't have the guts to take back galicia

Jealous that their shit version of Portuguese is the most common one in the world and that they're the more well known Portuguese country, but other than that, I don't really care about them one way or another.

Nothing of value there

the eternal anglo will protect the eternal ally

They really do fly under the radar here, was kinda sad when the Aussies ran them off Sup Forums

>american education

Best way to avoid being "culturally enriched" by negers and "liberated" by the anglosphere is to offer shitty benefits for parasites and possess no oil reserves. Since there is no interest in taking our country, we remain in peace.

Brazil is a very 'special' nation full of 'special' people. As long as the world focuses their eyes on them and not on our own little slice of near-paradise, we're cool.

No war between Iberian powers

Now that this question is out of the way, How come Spain never annexed Portugal, or did they try?

THIS IS TEN PERCENT LUCK

They were in a personal union but Portugal broke free

I think Castile was too busy trying to deal with Aragon and Genoa, losing and reclaiming the entire Iberian to Muslims multiple times.

We were united for like 60 years. They were an imperial power, you can't just go and annex it like it's nothing. We were at war several times, but I'm not sure if we ever attempted a full scale invasion.

That's commie talk, OP.

What do you mean Portugal's borders are untouched?

Where are the ultramar territories?

Fuck off with your leftie propaganda.

Nobody wants you.

Anglo protection

Spain can only win wars against shitskins.

They tried many, many times. They failed. Then there was a joining of houses with a wedding and a monarch's death led to the king of spain inheriting portugal. The portuguese people instead said "fuck off", and liberated themselves. Then they tried to annex us many more times, always failing in the process.

tl;dr Spain tried to annex Portugal several times, we resisted. And will again, no matter the foe.

Anglo protection

mhm interesting. Yeah they were strong but I tought you could probably easily have overpowered them in a landinvasion in Iberia and their fleet would have to give in at some point. But I guess you always kept a more or less friendly relationship.

>The Jews fear you.
ftfy

Sounds heroic, just like Swiss history. I like portuguese people anyways. I'm going to read about your history now, thanks.

>their fleet would have to give in at some point
Our navy was their navy.

W nerver had Gallicia but Gallicia had Portugal

Sick trips.
Yes, we have fought the Spanish many times, but they are our neighbor. I will die before living under Spanish rule, but if anyone wants to remove our Spanish neighbors it'll have to be over our dead bodies too!

I'm sorry I was a bit rude. Portugal has been humiliated enough without my failed attempts.

They only have harmless and retarded neighbors, which also have a worse language and cuisine.

Yeah but one would think Portugal is more valuable than the few small colonies that were established at that time. And I tought they had a pretty good relationship with france and could have simply ignored the Naval warfare and rule over iberia.

Didn't France buttfuck you so hard that you never got into any war since?

Gib back Olivença pls

There's no point in ruling over Iberia, we were both more interested in expanding our empires overseas, and you can't ignore naval warfare for that.

>Catalonia

You mean Olivenza?

THIS

Not really, no. Swiss expansionism was stopped in northern Italy after the swiss suffered some defeats. That led to the end of Swiss expansionism and We signed an agreement with france, so they were the only ones allowed to hire swiss mercenaries, who were the most feared throughout europe for a few centuries.

gib calais back

As a Galician, where the fuck did this "Portugal has a claim to Galician clay" meme come from?

REEEEEE

They were smart enough to invent a language that sounded like retarded spanish, and no one wants to annex a country full of retards.

just leave us the fuck alone. fucking hell, all these tourists are getting me worried, even freaking madonna is moving in.

stay the fuck away. stop talking about us. reeeeeee

put your geo on

>ancap
>calling others retarded

I don't know, maybe it's because Galician and portuguese languanges are similar

ur 2 cute to be left with the Spaniards.

the Portuguese are pretty good at cementing things.

I always loved the idea of the portughese empire since when I was a kid
Now I realize it looks like a retarded EUIV game in which the player cucks the entire world by landlocking everybody

That's exactly what it looks like. Just following the rules, m8 :)

>Fátima and Santiago on the same nation
[DEUS VULT INTENSIFIES]

Shame about losing the colonies, though. Nig nogs should have been slaughtered like the animals they are instead of being given such great lands.

How is life there in Angola?

It sucks. Too many niggers.

>colonies
you spelled "overseas territories" wrong there

>playing a game
>one of the first listed generals is Portuguese
>"god damnit brazil"
Portugal was essentially taken by Galicians.

is that a fucking machete on the flag? that's some nigga shit

btw, our border is called "A Raia"

>constantinople is still turkish
into the trash it goes

It's fatal flaw above all else is the dissolution of Switzerland.

REEEEEE

jk, spanish neighbor is bro

I do believe this map was made up by someone who wanted to troll every single european to collect (you's)

>what is strategy?

>Too many niggers.
You are that portoghese guy working in Angola?

Because the Spanish army was shit and list every single war against us.
Besides Iberians are civilized and they respect the international treaties like the Treaty of Alcanizes (13th century).
But only our European borders remained intact. As for our ultramarine provinces we have to thank your country and the USSR for putting a puppet socialist government that decided nigger (who never had a national identity only tribe loyalty) deserved their own country even though we won the war.

It is the first time I see the Angolan flag.

It's de jure ours. GIVE IT BACK
>tfw when you conquered that tiny town we conquered Uruguay

Lol no Brit bro. Our navy used to be better than yours before the Iberian union. After that well…
But still it is the oldest navy in the world.

Oh don't make me laugh faggot.

You don't get to make le ebic jokes about a country while hiding behind a meme flag, faggot.

I have a holiday home in a nice rural part of the algarve. You're getting ANGLOD whether you like it or not greatest ally.

I'll just leave this here

I hate those bastards. But they are the country I like to hate the most. Never change Castile.

kek

Why? He speaks the truth, our navy was a million times better than yours before the iberian union

dem gains

THIS. Erase us from the map. Everything was just fine before people discovered we existed.

And this

>get butthurt about Britain taking Zimbabwe

>by this point in time portuguese speaking niggers and mesticos have become integral in the administration of these colonies
>the flood of portuguese immigrants displaces them from their jobs
>butthurt about this they turn to marxism and revolt
>portuguese hit 1 million ethnic Portuguese people in the colonies by 1974
>winning the wars in africa, portuguese GDP is growing, Rhodesia and South Africa are good trading partners
>portuguese in portugal decide that marxism is a cool idea
>carnation revolution
>within 10 years 95% of the portuguese in Africa have left with most of the remainder going to South Africa
>Nandos is created as a result

And then modern Portugal was irrelevant. There you have it, the great legacy of nearly 500 years of Portuguese imperialism is a shitty chicken place from Johannesburg.

portury

I'll be near villa real de sn antonio next thursday, thats one more algonso :'(

Because fuck you if you fuck with Portugal you fuck with the crown.

Here is our secret. Pic related

At least the Jews don't take interest in us because we're irrelevant now.
Feels good.
