What you're saying is when Portugal went from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional one, in the first half of the XIX century, Portugal had 3 constitution (1822, 1826 and 1832), with a Civil war in the middle, and political turmoil until 1851. (They decided to use the Constitucional letter of 1826) Portugal entered the period we call "Regeneração" (Regeneration) where Portugal invested heavily in infrastructure, communications and industry to catch up with the rest of Europe. Although these were somewhat successful, they didn't produce the expected results, and Portugal entered a vicious circle where they kept taking on loans they couldn't afford. Portugal entered bankruptcy having to leave the gold standard, and negotiating how to pay the loans, in the Crises of 1891-1892, this and the unhappiness with the political system that was either one party or the other made the Portuguese take action.

Fun fact, the national anthem of Portugal at one time (when the Republic was inaugurated) one part said "against the Brits, we march!" this part replaced "Brits" to "cannons" on later years

In the TimeGhost video about what if the Nationalists had lost the Spanish Civil War some people commented that had a Nazi-aligned communist Spain invaded Portugal, the UK would have intervened on the basis of the medieval piece of paper, it got me a chuckle. Portugal was almost entirely useless to the British, it doesn't even border the Mediterranean, you can't close it off from the Atlantic from there-it would be just some extra coastline which the Axis wouldn't need anyway. There's no way they would have risked even a single British life trying to defend it.

@@mr.anderson2241 Emm, not that much as you think it had. You see, in 1374 King Luis the Hungarian, to put his daughter on Polish throne, promised to the Nobility a little but too much. Next kings in XVth Century needed to accept another privileges, but in 1505 king Kazimierz Jagiellończyk made a ,,Nihil Novi" (lat. ,,nothing new") privilege, meaning that no new law will be accepted without an agreement of all Nobility. In XVIth Century Nobels were able to negotiate. We were expanding territorially, polliticaly, economically - on any kind of level (that's why we call XVIth Century ,,Gold Century" (,,Złoty wiek")), and Nobles we're proud of this ,, Nobilitian Democracy" - when in Europe Absolute Monarchy was getting more and more popular Polish-Lithuanian Nobels were calling Polish-Lithuanian Commonwelth ,,Green Island" (,,Zielona Wyspa"), as we were standing out of totalitarism. As King Zigmunt the August said: ,,I'm not the king of your conscience" (,,Nie jestem królem sumień Waszych"). So everything was fine and great. By the time. In 1651 there was a first time when Sejm was broken without any kind of negotiations. That made us lose Chmielnicki's Up-Rising, so we lost an ability to co-rule the Russia. But that also made baronage even more corrupted, so with almost endless ,,Liberum Veto" (lat. ,,I don't agree") shouted in Sejm, King needed to ,,buy" the votes. That blocked the development of our country, which became visible in second half of XVIIth Century, when Polish-Lithuanian Commonwelth, mighty superpower everyone was afraid of, started to ,,bleed out". We didn't development our farming, so we were exporting less and less every year. We weren't developing our Army, so it was getting weaker and weaker every decade. And we didn't change our pollitical system, so it didn't stop. In XVIIIth Century everything was clear. First, in 1702 we disbanded Winged Hussars (if you want I can explain why) and we had like 10.000 soldiers, while being between three superpowers wanting to destroy us: Prussia, Russia and Austria. The myth that Polish-Lithuanian Commonwelth collapsed because of neighbors is partially true, as they were corrupting our Nobles, but without ,,Nihil Novi" privilege they couldn't do much to destroy us. But here we are, in Age of Enlightenment - but for Poles and Lithuanians it's getting darker and darker. In 1764 Stanisław August Poniatowski gets the Polish-Lithuanian throne (Nobles didn't like them, but Russian Army forced them to elect him (we didn't have a throne heredity)), but 4 years later the ,,Bar Confederation" (against this new king) started. In 1772 he singed I Partizipation of Poland. That wasn't cool, so like only 6 years later we started a ,,Great Sejm negotiations" (,,Obrady Sejmu Wielkiego") to reform our backwarded, weak country. It resulted in III May Constitution (,,Konstytucja III Maja" (this is the reason why 3rd of May is a national celebration in Poland)) in 1791, turning us into Constitutional Monarchy and reducing Liberum Veto. But we were too poor, as our king liked to party from national budget, and made a debt on 30mln złoty. His favourite lover, Czarina Catharine II The Great, promised him she will pay for all of this - if he only accept II Partizipation of Poland, and that's what happened, in 1793. That outraged Tadeusz Kościuszko, who launched an Up-Rising against that (,,Kościuszko's Insurrection" (,,Insurekcja Kościuszkowska")) a year later, but collaborative King ordered those rebels to capitulate, which they did. Another year later, in 1795, all of neighbors just walk into the country which doesn't even resist, and grab all of its lands, announcing III Partizipation of Poland. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwelth disappears. Then is it true it was because of neighbors? Well, yes, we can say it, but the most important reason is economical crisis and too much privileges for Nobility. That's the true story why this mighty Superstate collapsed.

We did have one. Since the early 1800s. Hell, our anthem before the republic was not of praising the king but praising the "Divine Constitution", written by D. Pedro IV himself, the saviour of constitutionalism in Portugal. The problem is the later kings just let "others do their job", to the point of a dictator of sorts being appointed at one point, cementing a weak image of the monarchy, which became official with Portugal submitting to Britain The dictatorship can be blamed on the unstable republic, which was put to an end with a military coup in 1926, the climax of the dozens and dozens of governments that were formed in the brief existance of the first republic, putting an end to democratic vote, which only resumed after General Óscar Carmona died in 1951, but by then presidents were mere puppets of the real ruler of Portugal, the far more famous Salazar, the "prime minister"...who was technically also a dictator

@@Luzitanium Well ... Funny thing is, like we never get credit for anything, we did 'help' our 'hermanos' by drawing forces away from the Ottomans. This is an extract from Wikipedia about Lepanto: "One very interesting fact, relatively unknown, is that in 1570, one year before Lepanto, a large offensive ecloded in India against the Portuguese East Indian empire. The Indian powers send an embassy to Sultan Selin II taking a large sum of money to finnance the Ottoman naval forces in the red sea if the Sultan agreed with an alliance against the Portuguese in India. In May 1571 the Ottoman fleet of 25 large galleys and 3 galions with some 3000 combatants was ready for action in the Red Sea and set sail. But this fleet never made it to India, having problems on the way they had to stop in Moca until November, when it was again ready but shortly before they set sail, news come from the mediterranean reporting the major defeat of the Sultans force at Lepanto. Along with those the fleet received orders to get back to Suez to enforce the efort of rebuilding the fleet(the ships where disasembled and carryed all the way to the mediterranean). At Lepanto, 25 large galleys of the Ottoman empire whare absent, this was the Portuguese contribution to the war efort. Also:, It is not true that Lepanto was the first major victory of any European army or navy against the Ottoman Empire In 1509 in the battle of Diu, India, the Turks under Meliqueaz had 10 carracks and galions, 6 large galleys, 50 regular ones and 50 smaller ships, the Portuguese under D. Francisco d'Almeida had 9 carracks, 2 galleys, 6 caravels and a brigantine, in all 18 sails against some 116, 66 of them beeing main vessels. In this Battle the turks lost all ships, sunked or captured along with some 3.000 man killed. The flag-ship "Frol de la Mar" alone, fired some 1900 rounds sinking 1 carrack, 10 galleys and many smaller ships. The Turks received a huge blow since from then after the vital commercial lines with India where reduced to a small fraction. Without the large revenues they had with such commerce the Turk's military might was somewath reduced. Diu was in fact a battle of capital importance making the way for the Mediterranean powers to defeat the Turks at Lepanto".

A Man of Culture and Philip Oink Oink are my two new favourite Patreons.

Thank for addressing this part of my country’s History! I have to give you credit for the emphasis on the correct spelling of “Afonso” (the worst thing for a Portuguese is being confused as a Spanish), and as well the details like the Sash of the Three Orders worn by the Portuguese Kings, and the representation of the two leaders of the main parties, Luciano de Castro and Hintze Ribeiro. I just have to note that Republicanism was never illegal during the Monarchy, just a few extremist (terrorist, by today’s standards) organizations like the Carbonária. In fact the Portuguese Republican Party was founded in 1876, with the consent of King D. Luís, and elected it’s first deputy in 1878. It had a parliamentary representation until the end of the monarchy, but always in great minority, since it’s support was mainly urban and disputed with an early Socialist Party. Even after the Ultimatum, they only elected 3 deputies in 148. Despite his inexperience, as he was not destined to reign, Dom Manuel II tried to undermine the Republicans by allying with the Socialist Party, their rivals. The only reason for the success of the Revolution of 1910 was the great centralization of power in the capital, where the Republicans were popular. Any change of power in the capital, was a change of power for the whole nation. As was said “The Republic was proclaimed in Lisbon, and the rest of the country was informed by telegraph”. But the Revolution in itself was not an easy win for the Republicans. In fact one of it’s leaders, Admiral Cândido dos Reis committed suicide, as the cause was seen as lost after some hours of fighting. The only reason for the success was that the monarchist commander, Paiva Couceiro, unexpectedly received orders to retreat his troops and meet with the King. So to be fair, the Republicans were not democratic, since they took power by force, being a minority in parliament. When they were in power, they even restricted the electoral laws, because they knew the people was vastly monarchist, and religious (the Republicans were fiercely anticlerical). Also, a central figure in the end of the Monarchy is João Franco. Trying to surpass the turnover between the main parties (the called Rotativismo), the King appointed him to the government, as he was seen as independent and moderately progressive. But the main parties resented this action, and João Franco lost parliamentary support. So he was forced to govern through a dictatorship (a “Turkish-like government”, as was said) which only made him impopular. The fact that he had the support of the King is seen as one of the main reasons for the Regicide. Finally, I wouldn’t say that Portugal is a “proud republic”. The majority of the people frankly doesn’t care about that, and the monarchist movement isn’t dead. It is slowly growing, in fact. The Regicide is now seen as a barbarous act, and at a personal level Dom Carlos is considered on of the best Kings. He was a very down to earth individual, and also a praised polymath - a painter, a tennis enthusiast, an agronomist, an ornithologist a renowned oceanographer, etc... He just happened to reign in terrible conditions. The truth is that every problem criticized during the monarchy was only made worse during the Republic. Republic isn’t a synonym of Progress, nor Democracy. We can have these two things, and a King at the same time. And that is what some few people in Portugal are starting to realize.

Hi History Matters I love your channel and animations and I have a little suggestion for the next one which is; When, how, and why did Great Britian and France became friends and close allies after hundreds and hundreds of years of close rivalry?

Thank you Izzie.

I... kind of have to mention that this video, while mostly accurate, leaves put important details. 1: Our Alliance with Britain reached its weakest point in the ultimatum referred in the video, however it was never broken. In fact, today, the Alliance has been revitalized: Despite low points, Portugal and Britain never went to war with eachother, and are today so friendly Portugal might even join the Commonwealth (A bit of a hyperbole, but you get the point). The First Republic (a result of the revolution of 1910) even joined WW1 on the side of the Entente, stating that "Despite the regime change, we want the British to know we are still the same friends from the Treaty of Windsor and the Napoleonic Wars". Later on, during WW2, Portugal, ruled by a fascist dictatorship, lended a port in the Azores to the British. That's right. A fascist dictatorship in WW2 being friendly to the British. Our alliance is THAT strong. 2: It might also be important to note that monarchic skepticism in Portugal dates back to the Enlightnment, to our Liberal Revolution that instituted a Constitutional Monarchy. More radical elememts of the Revolution clamored for the abolishment of the Crown.
