i was watching this on the african french connection and i cant help but think that this was the way to go with the portuguese colonies or overseas provinces.

>They were unironically the good guys
But everything they touched has turned to shit.

>>2909632
you're saying that like it isn't the common recurring theme with colonization

>>2909632
They actually tried developing Africa

i think they're true bro tier, yes.
If brazil had stayed a monarchy a bit more (basically ruled by a competent portuguese royal family) they would probablty be a superpower by now.
also portugal is great, been there and it's tight

Didn't them end up being the European nation responsible for selling the most slaves?

>Lusotropicalism or Luso-tropicalism was first used by Brazilian sociologist Gilberto Freyre[1] to describe the distinctive character of Portuguese imperialism overseas,[1] proposing that the Portuguese were better colonizers than other European nations.[2]

>It was believed that because of Portugal's warmer climate, and having been inhabited by Celts, Romans, Visigoths, Moors and several other peoples in pre-modern times, the Portuguese were more humane, friendly, and adaptable to other climates and cultures.[2]

Feels good being the one colonial nation that never oppressed black and brown people.

If you have a maritime empire that's fine, some of the best ones have been, but so hate try-hard images like that

Portugal set out to control the sea though, which they kinda did before other euros tried to fuck shit up

>"Castile's rights over the Canary Islands were recognised while Portugal won the exclusive right of navigating, conquering and trading in all the Atlantic Ocean south of the Canary Islands. Thus, Portugal attained hegemony in the Atlantic not only for its known territories but also for those discovered in the future. "
