Always happy to see a new video by my favorite neighborhood Portuguese!

Being Portuguese and being your viewer for years, it's pretty crazy seeing you talk about my country and walking around places I know since I've been a kid xD About the reasons why Portugal is behind the rest of western Europe, it actually comes from WAY further back than Salazar and the estado novo. It's really a complex sequence of events since the 1500~1600s that slowly ended in our situation. We were an extremely rich and surprisingly powerful country in early colonialism (I mean, we started it along with the Spanish), however in 1578 the absolute "genius" that was king Sebastian I (who was a religious fanatic thanks to his equally zealot Spanish mother) decided he wanted to have a holy conquest of Morocco, where he ended up dying at 24 years old in an extremely 1 sided battle that he had no business even attempting (look up battle of Alcacer Quibir), also leaving no heir in the process. This started a succession crisis, that eventually ended up with the king of Spain, Filipe II (I of Portugal) with the Portuguese throne. His mother was Portuguese, so he actually took care of the Portuguese holdings fairly well, but not so much his son and grandson. In those 60 years, Portuguese holdings and interests were largely ignored, which ended up with losing much of our influence, as well as a war with the Dutch where we lost our colonies in the east indies (around modern day Indonesia). While we were never able to recuperate our status as a super power, we were still a colonial power with quite a lot influence (especially in the southern Atlantic) that was slowly diminishing until 1755. In that year, Portugal suffered a huge earthquake that completely destroyed Lisbon and much of the rest of the country around and to the south of Lisbon. This of course came with a multitude of stability and financial troubles for the next decades. In the early 1800s, when we were finally recuperating and could start working on catching up with the rest of Europe, a random Corsican guy called Napoleon started making trouble all over Europe, which include the Peninsular War starting in 1814. In response to the inevitable invasion, the Portuguese court fled to Brasil, in a chain of events that shortly led to the independence of Brasil, which in part also caused a civil war in Portugal, called the Liberal wars in the 1830s. During the rest of the 1800s, Portugal was always behind the rest of western Europe and never really recuperated, the industrial revolution actually never really happened here, we were faced with an extremely ineffective bureaucracy culture, ineffective politicians and corruption. In 1911, a group of intellectuals orchestrated the revolution that ended the monarchy, however it was never supported by the deeply conservative and religious general population, especially because of it's stance against the catholic church, and was a time with alot of instability, political assassinations and coups. Eventually a coup was done that started a military dictatorship, from which the estado novo was eventually born through Salazar, which only really continued our disadvantaged and isolated situation. Hope this gives you a better understanding of our country. Anyways, with the history lesson over, you're very welcome to our country man, hope you're liking it here ;)

Eu estou a aprender russo já há algum tempo. A razão disso tem a ver com a nossa língua ter características iguais às linguas protoescalavas. 1) Isocronia: As línguas eslavas, assim como os português e até o inglês, tendem a ter as sílabas tónicas nos mesmos sítios (maioria são palavras graves ou paroxítonas) assim como o seu significado é dependente do som emitido (foneticamente diferente, significado diferente, escrita igual). 2) Nasalação: O polaco tem algumas nasais mas nós temos mais. Na Rússia não existe mas há alguns dialetos que podem conter. 3) Sonoridade das Consoantes: é essencialmente o nosso ch (chuva) j (justo), lh (ilha) e por fim nh (punho) que existe no Russo (apenas 1 letra no cirílico) com mais variantes reduzidas ou transformadas (vê o vídeo do roman sobre o alfabeto russo). 4) Redução Vocálica: Vogais átonas são algumas vezes reduzidas ou quase omitidas na totalidade como no Russo. Existe muitas declinações no russo, muito mais que me português. 5) Articulação das vogais: Nós fechamos as vogais e apenas abrimos só nas tónicas exatamente como no russo. 6) Rapidez e longos grupos de consoantes: O português europeu tende a se falar rápido e isto induz a reduzir ou omitir vogais no meio de várias consoantes como a palavra colesterol onde se diz na verdade colstrol. Tens "lstr" 4 consoantes seguidas algo que no russo existe bastante e não só pela redução.

Many went to Portugal for better opportunities when the Empire collapsed. in 1950's Portugal converted all its colonies into provinces that had the same status as the provinces in Portugal. When the former colonies choose independence, the economies went to hell and many went to work in Portugal since they spoke the language.

Paella is Spanish, not Mexican. In Portugal, we have a big variety of food, but we're mostly known for our seafood, and some of our most traditional dishes are made with cod fish. But we also have great dishes with meat (which I don't eat anymore, but I do miss eating those). Feijoada is one of my favourites. We did benefit from the spice trade and all the exchanges from other people and cultures. Also, even though I can understand Spanish almost perfectly, and the languages are indeed quite similar, their accent is very different than ours (bot portuguese and brazilian).

thank you for pronouncing Cascais correctly!! Also interestingly Lisbon was famous as being an outpost for soviet spies during the war, if you investigate its history it would make for a fascinating video

I saw a geography youtuber drew durnil make a video on the same topic its interesting that Portugal is very similar to Eastern Europe

I am from Galicia, the chunk of Spain right on top of Portugal, and I have been saying this for years too. Rural Galicia and the north of Portugal (I have only visited the north) are very Balkan in their culture. A lot of stereotypes about eastern europe are true for us too. It's kinda weird but cool in a way.

I think we just have a live and let live attitude so strong it applies to, even, our prejudices. There's even a saying, translated "Your freedom ends when another person's begins". Not to defend him, because it's indefensible, but my father, for example, has issues with gay people, but raised all three of us without these, all of us siblings support them. So it's a form of double-think, he dislikes some things, but will defend them simply because it's a persons right to exist as they truly are. So in anonymous surveys, these backwards views show, but in lived life it's mostly fine.

A lot of the similarities stem from the fact, that Portugal was for many decades the poorest country of Western Europe (Greece has taken over the "lead", if we consider it Western Europe in Cold War terms). Even in the early 2000s, during mass immigration from Central/Eastern Europe to the UK, Portugal had the largest % of citizens living in the UK (!). Right now Portugal is just behind Poland, Czech Republic, and just ahead of Croatia, Hungary, Estonia by GDP per capita PPP. I also wouldn't put so much blame on the Salazar regime, neighbouring Spain had the Franco regime, pretty similar in style, and both fell roughly at the same time.

What I meant was that if Spain is doing noticeably better than Portugal in a certain category, then there are probably other reasons than only Salazar, since Spain had the same type of dictator.

Do you really want to understand how Portugal is actually still Eastern Europe? Portugal has the oldest classical Communist Party in the world still active with elected members in parliament and some cities governed by Communist mayors, mainly south of the River Tagus. In one of these municipalities, Seixal, about 15 kilometres south of Lisbon, the festival of the Portuguese Communist Party, PCP, Festa do Avante, is held every year in the town of Amora. This festival is basically like going back to the Soviet Union of the 80s. There are political rallies, concerts by well-known artists and cuisine from all over the country. And the few communists who still exist in Portugal. kzread.info/dash/bejne/goCKubmupdu2f9I.html

I find some of these charts hard to believe as portuguese person. For example the trans acceptance chart, I think portuguese people are way more accepting than 12%. Maybe the other 88% is people that either dont care of very religious people.

I think, you just realize how alike Europe is, east and west. And that Russia is majorly influenced by Europe.

The inevitable result of unregulated immigration and huge refugee waves. Once you can't vet the troublemakers out of people who come from underdeveloped countries those troublemakers will cause problems and commit crimes which in turn will turn the locals hostile and no one can blame the people for feeling that way. I am in just 5 years ago all this wouldn't be seen possible but once you cross a limit and abuse people's hospitality this is just inevitable and this applies every country,nation or community known to man. Even after this though the reaction of the locals are not on the level of western communities. They like to act liberal,welcoming and diverse but they have some of the most controlled borders and insane vetting processes known to man and btw they are fully justified in all this so I am not criticizing it. I just wish they stop being hypcorites about it and defend the thing they avoid against us.

It comes down to family then, if you are not from a good family, they dont teach you. I dont know about portugal, but because eastern europe was so backwards, during soviet times, there was a lot of teaching from state. In many ways state took over parenting even for adults, there were campaigns how to do this and that, so uncivilised people adopt those new habits, especially because there was a massive boom in urbanisation and rural people were not on the same level as people in cities.
