Redpill me on Portugal, I know absolutely nothing about the country. How's the people? How's the culture, food, architecture? What happens here?
I've always just dismissed it as the appendix of Spain. How different are the countries

Portugal is superior in every single way except, admittedly, economically.

Lisbon is shit.

Plus their food is very, very good. The quality of the produce is something a meatball munching swede will not even comprehend.

Why do portuguese brazilians have the habit of taking a fucking letter from their surname? Like Correira to Correa
>>72453784
We only standardised surname spelling in the 30's or something
Which is why Brazil has Souza and Correa and archaic stuff like that.
We also have a list of 1st names you can pick from, whereas they can do that "pick your spelling" American bullshit.

Portugal :Spain = Finland: Sweden
>>72454606
We were never cucked by Spain like Finland was.
We had an Iberian Union which tried to fuck us over in half a century so we just left.

>>72460638
We were as much part of Spain as Australia is part of Canada.

Two kingdoms under the same crown with the same power
>>72461415
>with the same power
In theory, let's be honest. The Portuguese were subordinated to the Spanish interests.

From your own link
>Philip II of Spain marched into Portugal and defeated the troops loyal to the Prior of Crato in the Battle of Alcântara. The troops occupying the countryside (Tercios) commanded by the 3rd Duke of Alba arrived in Lisbon.[8] The Duke of Alba imposed on the Portuguese provinces a subjection of Philip before entering Lisbon, where he seized an immense treasure; meanwhile, he allowed his soldiers to sack the vicinity of the capital.[9] Philip II of Spain was crowned Philip I of Portugal in 1581 (recognized as king by the Cortes of Tomar) and the Philippine Dynasty began. When Philip left in 1583 to Madrid, he made his nephew Albert of Austria his viceroy in Lisbon. In Madrid he established a Council of Portugal to advise him on Portuguese affairs.
You were a Viceroyalty, like our colonies in America

Truly the supremest of aryans

>The Habsburg king was the only element of connection between the multiple kingdoms and territories, who rules by six separate government councils of Castile, Aragon, Portugal, Italy, Flanders and the Indies. The governments, institutions, and legal traditions of each kingdom remained independent of each other
> Public offices were reserved for Portuguese subjects at home and overseas. Spain left the administration of Portugal and its empire largely to the Portuguese themselves, under general supervision from Madrid channeled through a viceroy in Lisbon.

I rest my case
>>72462422
>Spain resting
>>72462422
The difference is that the capital was in Madrid instead of Lisbon.If the capital was in Lisbon there would be a governor/viceroy in madrid
