How the hell they fucked up this badly?
They played civilization on tutorial mode with all cheats on and still failed.
Basically with same borders since 13th century

Noah Kelly
the uncomfortable truth that everybody will seethe at me for saying is that the portuguese on average have IQs of like 90
Chase Rivera
It's a race thing. In some remote places in Portugal, far away villages, you still see white people with red hair. But the average people on the street in Lisbon had their genetics clearly niggered.
Joshua Carter
>>Great colonial empire
They did not give up the colonial game and the niggers chimped out. A big coloniar war where they had to fight rebels that were supported by the URRS and the USA at the same time, wasting money and resource in a pointless war that such a small and resourceless nation could not sustain.
Joseph Morgan
It's because the white man (EU) is keeping them down! Same with the other southrons and slavs!
Sebastian Kelly
>Basically with same borders
What is Olivenza.
Nolan Rivera
I'll always find it fascinating that the biggest shitholes on earth are the ones that always start this threads, at least tell me that it's a copy+pasta.
Lucas Gray
>Be on the side during WWI and WWII
they did participate in wwi
Kayden Cook
Great country tho. Life is great in Portugal.

Bigger empire than yours, our legacy will last forever, your language will fall
Incredibly embarassing comment my friend if you want to bump the thread just write "bump"
Portugal doesn't recognize spanish ownership of Olivença, technically it's still part of Portugal and we have the legal precedent we can push but our ministers are morw worried about othwr stuff
Jose Barnes
sure your empire was bigger but that does not negate what i said
Leo Jenkins
That you got btfo'ed by people with 90 IQ?
Ayden Thomas
Ni idea, no he ido allí en mi vida. Pero Olivenza es un municipio grande (430,14 km2), compara eso con los escasos 6 km2 de Gibraltar y entenderás porqué los portugueses están tan culo escocidos.
Angel Turner
before, say the 1700s empires didnt need intelligence to be created
look at the mongols, ottomans, all steppe empires basically
so portuguese could thrive in spite of low average IQs
Jose Gutierrez
Those empires disappeared and no country speaks their language and the ottomans had alot of captured white people that they made Vizier
Carson Taylor
look, i'm not saying portuguese are dumb
but the reason you havent reach the wealth of northern european country is the IQ gap of almost one standard deviation
do you agree or disagree?
Brayden James
also we are not ethnically homogeneous, not by one bit.
i had a history teacher who btagged how we are ethnically diverse because people from all over the world have been here
maybe tats why thi shitole sufers from mutt incompence, idk
Evan Robinson
>technically it's still part of Portugal
Lel sure.
The flag that flies in the town hall is the Spanish flag, the laws that govern there are the Spanish laws and even the most spoken language there is the Spanish. Also, people there vote for Spanish political parties and they feel Spanish.
Thomas Miller
Disagree
Gavin Rogers
>we are ethnically diverse because people from all over the world have been here
At least you are not andalusia tier.
Kevin Jones
>they feel Spanish
I feel bad for them.
Tyler Jenkins
okay thanks for the discussions
Benjamin Wilson
That's not how it goes bro, just because spanish people live there now doesn't disregard the fact that it is still poetuguese land under occupation
Wyatt Phillips
>I feel bad for them.
Ok.
John Gonzalez
>monarchy purposely made sure people were uneducated so its easier to control with religion
>monarchy moves to brazil because easy kuriminha pussy
>all riches are moved to brazil
>abolishment of the monarchy and creation of corrupt government with too many politicians who dont understand each other and are only in power for personal gain, its still like that btw
>dictatorship post WWII and salazar regime, it was pretty much communism
>still making sure education is something accessible to elites only. common folk go work in farms and stay dumb following religion.
>after joining EU all colonies were given up but we are supposed to support their economy because USA imposed reparations (americans really do love bbc) through UN and EU
>education is now accessible to anyone and industries are something more than agriculture
>governments and elites pressure schools and students into thInking tourism is the only way to pump money into economy.
>the smart leave and only return after retirement
>because smart and young leave, population grows old and economy tanks
Jose Carter
which countries do young educated portuguese move to?
never met a portuguese here
Oliver Wood
Salazar died
Benjamin Howard
>That's not how it goes bro, just because spanish people live there now doesn't disregard the fact that it is still poetuguese land under occupation
Sure.
Well, if that makes you feel less sad...
Adam Nelson
At least we aren't retards who keep crying to the international community over Gibraltar
Josiah Price
>Ethnically homogeneous
Not even true. It's full of niggers, ever since 1974, that our socialist goverment, and it's left wing policies have allowed former colony negroes to come here live off of gibs.
Portugal is a libtard haven.
>Be on the side during WWI and WWII
We fought in WWI and got btfod so hard we didn't want to go for a second round.
I would go for lower considering the people I've met. The average portuguese boomer is dumb as fuck, and the zoomer education is even worse.
Andrew Cooper
Hello brazillian
Tyler Powell
>monarchy moves to brazil because easy kuriminha pussy
They were escaping. It's not like they had much choice. And it was a good decision, in the long run.
Henry Richardson
the dumb go to switzerland and luxembourg because easy money.
the smart go to england or germany.
also smart portugese avoid revealing their nationality
Lucas Miller
Portugal não é um pais pequeno
Thomas Cruz
You do not do it because you know perfectly well that it would not do any good, since it is a lost cause.
Btw, the current president of Extremadura is from Olivenza. He is a very Spanish nationalist.
Oliver Brown
Pobre subnormal, es decir, pobre extremeño. Es decir, pobre.
Jackson Gonzalez
oh yeah my cousin lives in zurich and he told me a lot of lusos are there
Blake Davis
Ok, keep insulting.
Isaac Morgan
Why are they ashamed? Portuguese is a good nationality.
Charles King
I like Portuguese people but they clearly aren't tradionally "white" anymore. Also they all look emaciated for some reason.
William Cruz
Portugal is basado.

there are a lot of portuguese that immigrate.
plenty of them are also dumb loud and extremely nationalistic because of football, and they refuse to learn whichever language they are supposed to be speaking in the respective country.
Smart ones dont want to be ascociated with them.
