Since you're a History nerd, Connor, here are two fun facts for you:
1- It was the portuguese sailors who made a complete map of that huge island in the Pacific ocean now known as Australia, which allowed Cook to "discover" it almost 100 years after the portuguese were there.
2- The Pacific ocean was named by Fernão de Magalhães (Ferdinand Magellan for you English speakers) because of its calm waters, after the rough patch they had while crossing the southern tip of Argentina.
There are a few incorrections in this video (that they eventually corrected in the flags' video):
– We're surrounded by Spain on 2 sides, not 3.
– We don't follow UTC +01:00, we're located right inside the Greenwich meridian, so we follow the UTC 00:00, just like the UK.
– Coimbra Academic Association is obviously from Coimbra, not Porto.
🇵🇹❤️
Im portuguese from Madeira island and we can understand spanish but most of the spanish tourists cant really understant portuguese that much we usually talk in english xD
I really hope you're gonna watch the Netherlands episode of Geography Now one of these days.
Steve Perry of Journey is Portuguese with his parents from the Azores. Great voice.
whatch the geography now video about Spain!! cheers from Barcelona
Nice vídeo Bro,pls react to geography now Brazil, Portugal son lol
will you react to the documentary Dominion 2018?
I'm portuguese and can tell you that we have a fairly aptitude to learn and eventually express ourselves in several languages and we do understand (and try to speak) spanish but I can't say that spanish understand us very well… we tend so speak very fast…
Oh my God, you're so fucking hot. WE NEED YOUR INSTA NOW!
You would think that Americans would be well educated regarding Portugal
14:08, try reading this with English phonetics "Ish-tahr cawn oosh azay-tish" 😅
3:00 as a Portuguese I can say, yes, we understand Spanish and vice-versa, the languages are very similar but of course there are some words completely different and there are same or very similar words that have very different meanings, but in general, we can get 90% of what they are saying. As for the "Ç" those are read as "S".
I would say the reason the Vikings aren't recognised as discoverers of America is that they didn't last there, their colonies died out pretty quickly and left hardly any traces except in sagas which could be dismissed as legendary.
In terms of the Japanese trade policy, look up Sakoku. It should explain what you're looking for. Also interesting to see that Nagasaki was partially founded by the Portuguese, ironic considering of all places that's what we decided to bomb.
You pointed at the Western Sahara. People do live there and there has been a long civil war. It was known as the Spanish Sahara, but when the Spanish left Morocco invaded and annexed it. But many of the inhabitants didn't like it…
Spain took over Portugal in 1580 – Philip II had a dodgy claim to its throne – but the Portugese rebelled in 1640. The Duke of Braganza took the throne.
In the Bronze Age tin was important, being a constituent of bronze. The other place that had tin was Cornwall.
I have visited Portugal, and one of the best things is the cooking; the Portuguese seem incapable of cooking badly. Lisbon is a wonderful city.
I've also visited Madeira, which has an astonishing, equable,, climate. They can grow anything! (Although the locals were complaining that the climate was getting disrupted, an indicator of global warming.)
The local port – a fortified wine developed by the British – is cheap, delicious, and lethal.
There is a video from langfocus called why portuguese sound like russian
You are absolutely right about the European trade with Japan. As with many trade posts around the world, the Dutch also took that one over from the Portuguese. The Portugese traded with Japan from 1543 until they were banished in 1639. The Dutch had an exclusive right to trade with Japan from that point, until Perry opened up Japan in 1853. The Iberian countries were the most powerful force in the 16th century. But the Dutch Republic took over that role in the 17th century, in what is known as the Dutch Golden Age.
Langfocus did an episode on Why Does Portuguese Sound Like Russian?! (or Polish) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pik2R46xobA
