I want to say a few words about Portugal.

Portugal is a Western European country whose official name is the Portuguese republic and it came into existence in the 11th century when all its current borders were actually demarcated arising from the former earldom  with almost all of the entire day borders having been established by 1249 AD. Portugal was a major economic and political power in the 15th and 16th centuries through its affiliation with its overseas territories in the form of its colonies in Africa Asia and South America. These served as the out provinces of Portugal that served to strengthen the country and give it other sources of materials and supplies that they needed for development. Portugal at one time united with Spain in the Iberian union which later broke and Portugal regained autonomy in the 1640s.
