  • By the time of Victoria 3, Portugal has basically faded to obscurity. This cannot stand. Today, we're going to fight tooth and nail to get Portugal to Great Power status - in a nutshell, we're going to make Portugal Great Again. Through treaty ports and a liberal economy, we're going to drag ourselves kicking and screaming right to the top of the GDP list, despite what Spain might have to say about it.

    LADS! As I briefly mentioned, the culmination of MONTHS of work and a personal passion project is happening on Wedensday live at 16:00 BST both on CZcams and Twitch. This is the FINALE, the FINAL - If you don't mind popping along, all relevant links are at parabellum.gg ; it would be great to have you there!

    Much as Brazil was a former Portuguese colony, which broke away and became vastly more powerful and influential than it's mother country, we're in real danger of seeing Laith's haircut abandon him, and start its own CZcams channel. It'll be real embarassing when a bald Laith is on his own, watching the next series of Parabellum being hosted by Red Hawk and his own former do.

    I'm Portuguese living in Estonia.
    I can tell you that Portugal managed to go from one of the most developed countries to an economic backwater between 1700 and 1900.
    And Estonia is managing to become Western European in 30 years 🙂

    Ah yes, Portugal, the balkan country of Western Europe. I still dont know how that happend in history, but someone may be able to tell me. Also the fact that armies just change fronts for no reason is definitely the most annoying part of this game. Maybe make Lübeck or Denmark a colonial power next, that would be a fun challenge.

      It's mainly a list of the usual culprits, incompetence, corruption, ideological revolution (gone okay ish tbf), self absorbed dictator in crucial time of economic growth. Slow to adopt new technologies, very rural, very religious, colonial wars that burned money and men for nothing, yada yada.
      Oh and for unusual ones, we got heavily exploited by both spanish and spanish enemies when throne fell to the spaniards. And the capital where the majority of industry and commerce existed was basically destroyed in 1750s due to earthquakes and subsequent floods. That kinda really killed the country's growth back in the 1750s.
      I'm sure I forgot other stuff. All in all, been rough. Main problem nowadays is having extremely outdated old country so to speak, and good ol corruption and nepotism

      Portugal was super advanced and Lisbon the capital of Europe. In the middle of the 18th century, there is a huge earthquake that destroys the city and a minister of the kingdom (Marquês de Pombal) rebuilds the city, gaining fame and power.
      At the time, the owners of education were the Jesuits, who allowed access even to the common people. Well, our friend Pombal expelled the Jesuits and promised reforms in education, this did not happen and education became something only for the rich. Here you basically lose the human substance of the nation, something that you never recovered again only at the end of the 20th century. The French invasions in the 19th century didn't help much either.
      The monarchy ends and after a few years with the arrival of the dictator Salazar you have an interesting economy, a rich country with lots of positive reforms, the problem was that he didn't share this wealth with the poorest people and closed Portugal to the world. 1974 revolution where basically communist/socialism took over.
      We joined the EEC in 1985 and there was an economic boom in the country, but that also ended up fading away. In 2024, with 50 years of a socialist pseudo-democracy, we are becoming increasingly worse off economically, there is no boost in culture, etc., etc.
      The country's days are numbered.
      I hope it helped with your doubts 💪🏻

      This was real, that's why Brazil has a different independence from other countries in Latin America, when Napoleon invaded Portugal, the prince regent, Dom João VI fled to Brazil with many noble families and the entire court, libraries and other things, and Here he stayed until the war ended in Europe, and when it ended he simply didn't want to go back to Europe, so he decided to create the United Kingdom of Portugal and Brazil, and stayed in Rio de Janeiro, which he made the capital of the United Kingdom. This lasted until 1822, when his son, Prince Pedro declared Brazil's independence and became emperor of Brazil.
