Fun facts. The day Portugal ended the union, the first of December , is a public holiday in Portugal. The new Portuguese king was so terrified that the Spanish would kill him that he sought the help from above. Eight days later, he offered his most precious possession, the kingdom of Portugal, to our Lady of Conceição. Since then the eight of December is also a public holiday in Portugal, and never again a Portuguese king used a crown.

My opinion about this matter is that if the King of the small country (Portugal) would have a would have inherited the crown of the larger country (Spain), the union would have worked the same way it happed when when a Scottish King inherited the English crown. Every time an English king tried to conquer the Scottish crow he failed. The English would never had accepted a French King, but they did accept a King from Hannover the same way as the French accepted a King of Navarre

Hispania is general name of possible co-existence of Portugal and rest of Iberian peninsula (today's Spain). Specific name of Spain's leading political entity was Castilia. When Castilia was joined by Aragon, Navarra, Catalonia, Andalusia, Asturia, Galicia, etc, it absorbed superior name - Spain (Hispana). So Portugal should not worry when one calls it "part of Hispana" when talks about Iberian peninsula as a whole.

In Portugal, we have a saying that translated to English goes something like this: " from Spain don't expect good winds or good marriages". The marriage comment refers to the succession issues that led to this Iberian Union and the 'winds' comment refers to how the Spanish recalled all the Portuguese fleet (abandoning the protection of the colonies) to join the Spanish armada to invade England and as we know, it all got destroyed crossing the channel, and it opened the doors for the Dutch to pick and choose our colonies in Asia.

Interesting video that explains the political causes behind the failure of the Iberian Union, but it would also be interesting to have a separate video explaining the Portuguese Restoration War in more detail, which lasted for 28 years, from 1640 - 1668, and which ultimately led to the restoration and consolidation of Portuguese independence. If one is to analyze that war more carefully, it is possible to see that despite Portugal’s decline after the disaster at Alcacer Quibir, Portugal still held a very capable military, capable of imposing heavy defeats on the Spanish, and although it was indeed helped by England and France at some points in the war, it is important to also underline that most of the fighting was done by Portuguese troops, and that the Spanish military was also boosted by German, French and Italian contingents. Battle of the Lines of Elvas - 10.500 Portuguese troops defeat 17.500 Spanish troops Battle of Arronches - 950 Portuguese troops defeat 1.300 Spanish troops Battle of Ameixial - 14.000 Portuguese and 3.000 English troops defeat an 18.500 coalition army of Spanish, Italian, French and German troops Battle of Castelo Rodrigo - 3.000 Portuguese troops defeat an army of 7.000 Spanish troops Battle of Montes Claros - An army of 20.000 Portuguese troops and 2.000 English allies defeat of 22.600 Spanish troops The Spanish outnumbered the Portuguese in most of the major battles of the restoration war, and were soundly defeated almost every time, and although Spain was also involved in multiple conflicts it is important to remember that Portugal was also fighting a world war against the Dutch, outnumbered, and eventually also winning in Brazil and Angola, despite losing in Asia. There is a very good book about the Portuguese military, named “Homens, Espadas e Tomates” (Men, Swords and Balls) by a Portuguese-German military historian named Rainer Daehnardt which explains the military prowess of the Portuguese during the colonial period. He basically makes the claim that the Portuguese military was the first military in History engaged in global transoceanic warfare, and that gave the Portuguese a lot of experience fighting outnumbered (especially in Africa and India), which greatly helped the Portuguese in other wars as well. It´s a very interesting book to read, where you can learn a lot about the Portuguese military of the colonial period, and which helps to shed light on how a small country of 1 million people was able to build a global empire stretching from Brazil to Japan at one point. Everyone knows about the prowess of the Spanish Tercios for instance, but for the most part the Portuguese military (who were actually one of the most experienced military of the time as well) is unfortunately overlooked. There isn’t an English edition yet, so you can only read it in Portuguese, which is a shame, hopefully in the future there will be one. Helps to understand a lot about Portuguese history.

The fight against the Dutch in Brazil and Angola were not backed by the Metropolis at all, the king planned to make a truce with Holland. The sugar plantation owners of Brazil had a great debt with the Dutch West Indies Company and could not pay it so they rebelled against them and kicked them out. Later on they also organised an army and fleet from Rio de Janeiro to liberate Angola which was essential for the commerce of slaves with Brazil (After that Angola was administratively more connected to Brazil than to Portugal itself). King John IV actually discouraged the rebellion. The most important local family responsible for the rebellion (Cavalcanti Albuquerque) consolidated even more it's power, being active in Brazilian politics until very recently. The Portuguese Empire is indeed very impressive, considering how a "little" (compared to it's neighbors in population and size) could explore most of the world even when more powerful countries tried to subjugate it. Little in size but great in it's people.

To be fair, the Spanish never commited their best units during the restoration war, they were fighting elsewhere. Although Portugal secured its independence it become apparent that Portugal was indefensible. Hence the ideia of moving the royal court to Brazil that happend 150 years later. Also the idea of moving inland to protect the center of decision from sea attack was proposed around this time including by the the Marquis of Pombal. This was finally done when in the 20th century the capital of Brazil was moved from Rio to Brasilia.

@@MarquesdasMinas Well, the Restoration War was not the only attempt by Spain to reconquer Portugal. Roughly 100 years later, in 1762, the Spanish attempted again, in what was apparently the largest Spanish military mobilisation of the 18th century, which clearly indicates that it was one of their top priorities to reconquer Portugal, and once again they came out defeated. Whilst it is true that both Portugal and Spain were already in decline by this point, and that the British played a much more important role in this war, as they sent the commander, many more troops and helped to reorganize the Portuguese army (which had suffered a lot due to the consequences of the 1755 earthquake), the Spanish were also greatly aided by France, and the Anglo-Portuguese forces were heavily outnumbered as well. 8000 Portuguese and 7100 British troops defeated a combined Franco-Spanish army of 30.000 Spaniards and 10.000 - 12.000 French.

Well the European Union is pretty much that

There's a video from Countryballs Explained about the failed union between Spain and Portugal and its quite funny. 😁 🇪🇸🇵🇹

#knowledgia, you use "Spain" to refer to the territories that the kingdom of Spain has nowadays. But this kingdom didn't exist until the 18th century, when it was "invented" by the French minister that Louis XIV chose to manage the Spanish kingdoms that his grandson had received after the Spanish War of Succession. From 1516 to 1704, the Iberian Peninsule had several governments: The Portuguese one under the king of Portugal and the Castilian and Aragonese governments (consejos de Castilla y de Aragón), both under the same king, from Charles I (also monarch of the Holly Roman Empire as Karl V). And there were also several parliaments, the Cortes of Castilla, Aragón, Valencia and the Consell of Cent (the council of the hundred) at Barcelona. Spain, until the arrival of the centralist Bourbon dinasty, was the name of the whole Iberian Peninsula, given by the Phoenicians a thousand years before Christ. When the ambassadors of Castilla and Portugal were negotiating at Tordesillas how to divide the world, the referee was an Italian cardinal sent by the Pope. And when he refered the Castillian one as Spanish, the Portuguese ambassador had to protest: "We the Portuguese are also Spanish". Please, when teaching History of Spain, forget all the simplifications made out of Spain and also forget the Spanish textbooks, because they're the product of three centuries of centralist Bourbonic propaganda. Pretty succesful, as today most of the Spanish themselves ignore completely their own History.

A lot of people doesn't know the history of their own region, and they talk about Castille as Spain, when Spain is more than Castille and castillian language (in other languages you say spanish language, but in spanish you can say "castellano" or "español", because in Spain there are more languages than castillian, wrongly said "spanish"). The history of Spain is very complex and even in Spain is wrongly taught. I've learned it well because I love history.

Indeed, and even the Crown of Castille and Crown of Aragon were in of themselves unions of other Kingdoms, in the case of Aragon, the Kingdom of Aragon, Kingdom of Valencia, Principality of Catalonia, Kingdom of the Mallorques and, when they owned the land, the Kingdom of Two Sicilies. All being independent of one another, like how Canada and Britain are independent despite sharing the same queen. So in essence, Spain had more than 10 different States within it, all which considered themselves Spanish due to geographic reasons, and in the West (Crown of Castille and Portugal) because of the title of Imperator Totius Hispaniæ

I just spent almost three weeks in Portugal last October (2021). I can tell you the languages are far apart, as well as pronunciation, as well as how the Portuguese tend to roll words together such that Brazilian Portuguese is actually easier to learn and understand. Pronunciations are very different. The trailing S's on words are pronounced more like Sh (with Northerners laying it on extra thick). For example. "Adios," one of only a few common words, is pronounced more like "ah-DI-osh" with the emphasis on the second syllable -- listening to it you wouldn't think it was the same word. The place names in this video (8:50) are pronounced wrong. It would be interesting (and a lot more fun!) to see this video narrated by a native Portuguese speaker.

the King of Spain the first of the Philips had to agree to certain conditions in Courts of Tomar in 1581 to be King of Portugal (he even changed his named as Philip I of Portugal, he was Philip II of Spain - so this means one monarch two kingdoms), those conditions were: - Respect the liberties, privileges, uses and customs of the Portuguese monarchy, maintaining Portugal full sovereignty over its Kingdom and Empire; -Always gather Cortes in Portugal and keep all Portuguese laws; - The positions of viceroy or governor of Portugal were to be held by Portuguese or members of the royal family; - The positions foreseen for the Court and general administration of the Kingdom would always be filled by Portuguese; - The Portuguese could also hold public functions in Castile; - Commerce from India and Guinea could only be done by the Portuguese; - Titles of cities and towns could not be granted except to the Portuguese; - The language in official documents and acts would continue to be only Portuguese; - Every year, two hundred new houses would be created (ordained that were handed over to the nobles from the age of twelve) and the Queen should always have Portuguese noble ladies as ladies; - The crown prince, D. Diogo, would be kept and educated in Portugal; - The Castilian garrisons would be withdrawn and the royal arms of Portugal would be preserved in the current currency; Thus, the interests of the upper classes would be safeguarded and Portugal would be governed in the form of a Personal Union, preserving its institutions and particularities, under the aegis of a single king.

He was a prince that was expected to inherit the Crowns of Portugal, Castille and Aragon (being the son of the Portuguese King Manuel I and Isabela, eldest daughter of Isabela I of Castille and Ferdinand II of Aragon), but two things happened: his mother (Princess Isabella) died birthing him (thus, did not succeed her parents crowns) and the little Miguel died in infancy. He was, however, named as Miguel da Paz, which means, in Portuguese, Michael of the Peace, because he was expected to finally bring peace and Unity in the peninsula.
