>Start investing in shitty jungle shitholes in another continent
>They even run there because Salazar was too stupid and naive to blow the money on Portugal instead.

>small country
>like 2 million population in mideval times
no.

magellan and de gama are more important than any spanish or british explorer.

we had 1 milion in the 1500's

>expecting this much of a burger

It's lower than that but even if it were true that would still be small compared to the other powers of Europe at the time.

>they enslaved Japanese grills as sexdolls do african slaves

Why there isn't a doujin of this shit yet?

Illiterate fuckwit,

to indian sailors you mean

No, to nigs from Angola and Mozambique Mr. pajeet

Nah, african.

Might be wrong but there was a story about how they used to run away from Portuguese troops because they thought the black soldiers were demons.

The portuguese, being the westernmost country in
Europe, could only expand overseas. The sea is Portugal.

what I don't understand is why did you not simply give the land in brazil to the portuguese people which would increase populations of your country and people.

right now the people in brazil are eating and reproducing when it could have been portuguese people who were reproducing and eating.

Who do you think lived here, besides the black slaves and the few natives?
Portuguese people. Their descendents became brazilians.

not portuguese people in any way shape or form, the land is serving a foreign population.

>let me tell you about your country

>not portuguese people in any way shape or form

They aren't, mulattos and blacks are foreign population.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_Brazilians
>In 1872, there were 3.7 million Whites in Brazil (the vast majority of them of Portuguese ancestry), 4.1 million mixed-race people (mostly of Portuguese-Amerindian-African ancestry) and 1.9 million Blacks (some of whom probably had some degree of Portuguese ancestry). These numbers give the percentage of 80% of people with total or partial Portuguese ancestry in Brazil in the 1870s.

Yes, foreign population serving a different people not Portuguese.

None of these people are Portuguese people.

You're an idiot my man

No.We would buy the japanese POWs because they were cheap(they were going to be killed anyway) and send them to work in Macau.Like half of the macanese people are of japanese descent.We'd sell the japanese girls to indian or african slavemasters on rare ocasions.
Even our king Sebastian I was like"mah mens why you selling them waifus" and banned the trade of slaves in the japanese sea

Why Americans are so arrogant?? Read Vision of Paradise written by Sérgio Buarque de Holanda then come back to bag forgiveness.

economics

...

I don't need to beg anything, that to our racial laws we have 200 million white population and tower over all these subhuman groid race and injun race.

United States of America/Gross domestic product
16.77 trillion USD (2013)

Latin America GDP 9.5 trillion

626 million
As of 2015, its population was estimated at more than 626 million

United States of America/Population
318.9 million (2014)

You're a dirty hue or angolan probably.

It's in their blood, it's what they do.

That nation should be given the respect it deserves

Some of you are just complete stereotypes huh

Shut your fucking dirty mouth

WE WUZ KINGS

This damage control.

Age of Empires2

...

We had 15 million people in the Middle Age

yeah, but cucked by papal states.

Um I see here that it was Brazilian Indian slaves

Inherent cultural superiority and being blessed by Christ himself with the souls of Navigators. PORTUGAL CARALHOOO

Test

we literally had nothing better to do

>literally had nothing better to do
>create a great empire out of boredom

Wonder what y'all could do with actual motivation

Unfortunately yes except for some states and centuries

the siege defenses/wars in the indian ocean (against either turks, indians or dutch) and our wars with spain were pretty much our finest moment. The empire was divine providence so those speacial moments could happen.

we never got our peak because many of what would be our golden generation died in al-kacer el-kibir (with our king) before they could have a shot at life. That and the fact that "spain" fucked us up during iberian union (how can someone can fuck up so bad and in so many times).

Well they are just chillin next to the Atlantic plus they went through brutal wars with the moors and Spain so that's where they kinda learned that might makes right.

magellan was a bitch boy killed by brown hobbits, Juan Sebastán Elcano was the one leading the voyage

both were capitains and not that much of explorers.
Da Gama is even worse - he was a bussinessman/noble, the chartering was already (aproximately) calculated back in portugal and Da Gama later confirmed it with the east africans the way to india

examples of real explorers we had: Bartolomeu Dias (crossing the cape of good hope), Diogo Cao (some west african rivers and coast), Joao Lavrador (lavrador region - newfoundland?)

Lmao so true

Only way out of spanigger stink was the sea
