Without the alliance with the bongs your country wouldn't be any different from Léon and Aragon regions of Spain today.

Portugal unilaterally seceded from the kingdom of León in the 12th century. The local Spanish dynasty that had ruled León (and its precursor state: Asturias) died out and it was replaced by the son of a French (Burgundian, more specifically) nobleman who had arrived in León some years before to aid in the Reconquista and had married a Leonese princess. There were some frictions between the new royal house and the local noblemen. One count from a fief of León proclaimed himself as king of Portugal after a succesful battle against the Hagarenes and it kind of stuck ever since.

>calling yourself king for the banter
>800 years later the joke is still ongoing
Top banter, truly our greatest allies.

Are Portuguese and Spanish people genetically different or is it just cultural differences that separate them?

No one knows, it's just there

Kindly leave our oldest ally alone, lad

Portuguese are mainly Suebi germanics, but they speak a slavic language

They are extremely close enetically, culturally, lingustically, etcc

The pink map, Tommy

ignoring galiza that was part of the first rebelion, no other kingdom had the size and hard lanscape we had.
half the time spanish armies would arrive starving and restless due to the harsh conditions and local peasants trying to an hero a your armies.
The whole point of having a single proper fortress in the south was to force spanish armies to either siege that monstruosity or move around and loose manpower to atrition.

meanwhile, portuguese troops could easely move around since the core of the country is connected by ocean, and only in the 18th century onwards did spain have the kind of navy to stop movements on our coast, and by then both our nations were in the shitter.

that was unforgivable, it was a betrayal of highest order

Yes, all belong to slavdom

You know when i went to portugal i thought it would be just like spain but both countries seem to be really different, at times i thought the country felt more european, whatever that means
