Fascism seems to be on the rise in Portugal and I also got enough comments on the last video with misconceptions about the Ultramar which led me to make this one, I believe the Portuguese Parachuting nurses and the subjects I touched to bring a better light on such an obscure theme. I sincerely hope you enjoy and please if you have any questions I am more than glad to answer! Thank you for watching! ❤

USA, India, Europe are seeing the rise of fascismm but the fascism today is quite unique if you think about it. These regimes seem to be acting as Fascist/ultra nationalist only in their own respective countries the moment the cross the borders and stand on an International stage they become Whatever suits their Countries image. Their fascism manifest against their own populace but the same "so called patriots" cower in fear when a real enemy comes along. Their attitude towards China is a prime example of the behaviour of these so called Fascist. I think we live in a time where somehow weak and insecure Men have ascended to the leadership roles due to our ignorance, and so they oppress where they can( their own countries) and get oppresed when they can't . (Their relative silence on Chinese Expansion in Africa and Asia).

@@guido704u you do realise, socialism and communism are two very different things. America has had socialist elements to it from the moment it took birth. Worker Compensation, Labour Unions( or Unions of any kind),justice system. Socialism is the system where a Democratically elected government makes sure that the working class is not exploited by giving them rights and allocating them Resources, All the rights that hard working Blue Collar anericans enjoy when they work in an organisation are based on socialism .Now Communism is when the state own everything and in theory it should allocate resources to its citizens but as we have all seen again and again that doesn't work, for example even China needed huge Investments from American and European companies to become what it is today, but unlike The USA or India or Europe China is not socialist, because it actively oppreses its own people by striping them of their Rights and resources(that's why Cheaper labour), that's means the state owns it's populace. But that's not the case in the USA if an employer wrongs you, you can go to court and sue them if they don't follow the guidelines that the Government provided them or their actions are morally wrong. Such rights don't exist in Places like China. So yeah Capitalism and Socialism have been a very important Elements of the Republic thst is America since the Forefathers signed that paper in Philadelphia. The trick is to not go overboard with either Capitalism or socialism, not in the government and not in individual capacity.

Homenagem merecida a estas portuguesas. Parabéns pelo vídeo... pela história.

Permita-me apontar o facto de que as legendas em português saem com alguns erros de ortografia e algumas das palavras são mal traduzidas. Seria muito bom se fizesse outra edição com a locução em português. Mais uma vez, parabéns pelo trabalho.

Fascinating stuff again. I recently finished Flightpath to Africa about the air wars in the Ultrmar but the authors missed this. U should get in touch with Helion Publishing as they are publishing lots on colonial wars including some Portugese subjects. Maybe pitch them a idea for a book or videos?

Very good video Rita. I just would like to rectify that Portuguese women do not lose their Portuguese nationality/rights when marrying a foreigner. I am Portuguese and I have been married to a British national for many years and I have not lost my nationality or rights and I have never reapplied as it was never needed.

@leoarc1061

From my experience, that appears to be correct. Even though I have met many women who have married Swiss and French husbands, I am not aware of a single Portuguese woman losing any Portuguese rights due to marriage alone. One may lose one's rights by changing nationality, but that's a separate issue, and one to be expected.

Amen

I love the military history of Portugal series. My father fought in Guinea and since he died in 03 this is my best source to learn about his past. I’m left with some questions though. What was the military/logistical necessity of this unit? Did the Portuguese army/navy have medical units that operated the field medics/medevac/hospital systems we see in modern militaries? Were these women offering a novel capability or were they integrated into an existing system? The way it seems is that this unit was a public relations gimmick, which I hope isn’t true. The cynical side of me, having grown up Portuguese, makes me think this was a feel good unit to inspire the shaky home front. I did a cursory search to answer my own questions and found the wiki entry, did you write that entry? It’s sections are divided almost exactly the way you set up your video and there was no extra info than what I saw in your video. One entry in the wiki article made me think. “During the '60s and the '70s, the Portuguese Army, RTP as well as foreign TV stations gathered considerable audiovisual information.” At a time where when audio/video was expensive there’s that much documentary footage of a single military unit? A support unit? Again I enjoy the series please continue. If not for you I would never have known this. Thank you for doing this work.

Most footage from the Ultramar is ofc often recorded for propaganda reasons, I mean this because they would deliberately not record a lot of injured men as that would give a bad view back home, it is a little bit like that everywhere with other countries too. But the importance here is that those women were more than a gimmick and they fulfilled their roles to their fullest, its is not hard to find online combatants whose lives were saved by them and those men who had the privilege to see them all speak in equally high esteem about the Portuguese nurses. I did not write the wiki entry nor did I took information from there but would not surprise me if the story is similar as its the TLDR version, if you do a bit of deeper search you can even find interviews those women gave and they even wrote a book "Nós, Enfermeiras Paraquedistas" which also can give you a deeper insight in their operations.

I didnt mean that the men would follow the law as I said but the law was there nevertheless and was in instances modified to take reigns further away from women. One woman managed to vote decades before it was allowed by finding a loophole in the legislation and one woman was all it took for them to "rectify" it and specify that only men could, for example. We were conservative and Nationalistic and to this day we are still over 80% Roman Catholics as well so that plays it's part.

show this video to american feminists so they know what a REAL patriarchy looks like. fascinating story.

Ok. There is a lot of whitewashing here. Not mean-spirited or with any bad intentions, but a lot of whitewashing nonetheless. First and foremost, Portugal very much saw his African territories as colonies, despite what Portuguese schools tried to tell us. Angola was not Madeira or the Azores. It was one European colony, in a sea of European colonies, being treated as a colony. Secondly, the war for independence in Angola wasn't a case of Portugal against an enemy. The independence movements are painted in this video with a single brush stroke. The situation was very much different. There were 4 main forces in Angola at the time: The Portuguese (obviously). The FNLA in the north (trained and/or supplied primarily by the U.S. and China). UNITA in the South (aided by China, the U.S. and South Africa at different stages) The MPLA in the middle (aided by way too many socialist countries to name, but mainly by Cuba). This was not a proxy war such as Vietnam or Korea. There is a very good reason why Portuguese equipment was dated. Its main arms' dealer, the U.S., could not, by law, supply Portugal with weapons to be used in a colonial war in Angola. The U.S., although continuously ignoring such restrictions, was not capable of supplying Portugal with significant quantities of modern weaponry. It would be too obvious. The shortcomings of Portuguese military forces in Angola were not only due to shortage of troops. Portuguese morale was very low and the training against modern guerrilla warfare was inadequate at best. The USSR was very reluctant to get involved in Angola. Indeed, tens of thousands of Cuban forces started setting foot in Angola without Soviet knowledge, let alone its approval. In short, the USSR was not at all happy for being dragged by Cuba into the conflict. Lastly, placing a Portuguese war song over footage of Portuguese colonial troops leaves a very bad taste. At least it does for me as a Portuguese citizen. We have not yet spent nowhere near the amount of time and effort anguishing our actions in Africa to earn the right to feel triumphant or heroic about them. Regardless, it is proof that the Portuguese educational system is very much serving one of its purposes. I hope that this comment can prompt a more balanced video in the future.

I just want to know why american are commentating their own internal politics in a video about portuguese paratroopers.

Is it so bad that a nation wants its people to stay with the culture and land of their nationality instead of marrying away all their daughters to other nations?

This trabsformed into a political rant... was hoping for some history about this women.... not a rant.
