Hi, Joao

because /pol/ moor memes and "Spaniards aren't white!!"

>>1781490
trade and diplomacy isn't as "epic" as conquest

>>1781506
Yeah auto correct kinda blew my cover on that one
But my point is still valid

>>1781516
Well rome is very famous for its diplomacy aswell as its conquest

I don't think the Portuguese are underrated in that regard and they have a top-tier historical reputation for exploration and navigational accomplishments, it's just similar Spanish developments were more politically significant (in a word: Habsburgs) to the rest of the continent and also on a larger scale.

Global trade post, they were important as a stepping stone for rest of Europe and not much else.

Thats pretty importante tho taking in consideration thats the moment europe started to be the dominant continent
