Some interesting facts about Portugal and the Portuguese Language

Portugal’s history dates back to the Early Middle Ages. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal became a leading power and it built up a huge Empire in parts of Africa, South America, Asia and Australasia. Afterwards, there was a period of gentle decline as it lost much of its lucrative spice and slave trades.

Portugal lost two crucial battles, the latter with allies Spain against England, before a disastrous earthquake in 1755 destroyed much of the capital. In 1822, its largest colony, Brazil, left the union and over a decade or so, about 2 million people left Portugal for new lives and better prospects in Brazil and the US.

Portugal was ruled by a political dictatorship until 1974 when a new government was installed that heralded sweeping reforms. Portugal joined what is now the European Union in 1986. Portugal’s economy has suffered along with most other EU regions in recent years and the country was forced to apply for a bail-out fund and implement austerity measures.
