Forging an Empire - The Portuguese Empire - Part 1 Exploration
Portugal forged a massive trading empire. It was an incredible achievement for a small country that had a very modest population. In this first part, we review the initial stages where Portuguese sailors and explorers launched themselves into the unknown and took the first steps at exploring. Men like Prince Henry the Navigator who set the ball in motion, Bartholomeu Dias who was the first to round the tip of Africa, and Vasco da Gama who was the first European to find a sea passage to India.

The Portuguese Empire was composed of the overseas colonies, factories, and later overseas territories, governed by Portugal. It was one of the longest-lived colonial empires in European history, lasting almost six centuries from the conquest of Ceuta in North Africa in 1415, to the transfer of sovereignty over Macau to China in 1999. The empire began in the 15th century, and from the early 16th century it stretched across the globe, with bases in Africa, North America, South America, and various regions of Asia and Oceania.

After the discovery of America by Columbus, an intense race developed between Portugal and Spain to reach India. At stake was the very lucrative spice trade controlled by Arabs, Egyptians and Venetians up to this point. In 1488 during the age of exploration, Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Diaz rounds the Cape of Good Hope, opening the way to the Indian Ocean.

Did the Portuguese discover Australia? (Terra Australis Pt. 2)
In the 17th century, Australia began to take form on maps.
This began with its discovery in 1606 by Willem Janszoon and its further exploration by the Dutch throughout the century.
But the idea of Terra Australis, which we established in part 1 of this series is not Australia, was still hanging on. What would eventually be named Australia was named New Holland and was seen as a separate continent from Terra Australis, though they could possibly connect....

The Algarve in the Portuguese Discoveries | Teaser
#newlightpictures #algarve #portugal #teaser #documentary
This film documents the importance of the Algarve during the Age of Discoveries. With its strategic location, it was one of the regions in Portugal that had the greatest influence on Portuguese discoveries. Its coastal cities, such as Lagos and Sagres, were important starting ports for maritime expeditions that led the Portuguese to explore new lands and establish trade routes worldwide. Furthermore, it was in this region that Infante D. Henrique, the driving force behind the Age of Discoveries, was born and raised, and where the famous School of Sagres was established. It was here that many of the ships and caravels were built, including the iconic Caravel Boa Esperança, which was used by Vasco da Gama on his historic voyage to I...

How America Was Found BEFORE Columbus
Although the Pizzigano map was made 68 years before Columbus officially stepped foot in the Bahamas, it’s clear that it depicts a big landmass west of the Iberian peninsula, when at the time no one even imagined such possibility.
This island also went by the name of Isle of Seven Cities. It originates from an old Iberian legend, set during the Muslim conquest of Hispania in 714 AD. Seeking to flee from the Muslim conquerors, seven Christian Visigothic bishops embarked with their flocks on ships and set sail westwards into the Atlantic Ocean, eventually landing on an island (Antilha) where they founded seven settlements.
But let’s not lose track of the topic. In the Pizzigano map, if you follow the studies of historians and give some slack to 500 year old mapping techniques you can identif...

Folks used to say that the “sun never sets on the British Empire” as a means of declaring Britain’s greatness. But it was the Portuguese who forged the first truly global empire. The major dominions of the Portuguese wrapped around the globe in a straight line, from Brazil to
Angola, from Mozambique to India, and all the way to Macau. With its dominion under multiple time zones, the sun, in fact, never did set on the Portuguese Empire.

The Portuguese Empire was composed of the overseas colonies, factories, and later overseas territories, governed by Portugal. It was one of the longest-lived colonial empires in European history, lasting almost six centuries from the conquest of Ceuta in North Africa in 1415, to the transfer of sovereignty over Macau to China in 1999. The empire began in the 15th century, and from the early 16th century it stretched across the globe, with bases in Africa, North America, South America, and various regions of Asia and Oceania.
The Portuguese Empire originated at the beginning of the Age of Discovery, and the power and influence of the Kingdom of Portugal would eventually expand across the globe. In the wake of the Reconquista, Portuguese sailors began exploring the coast of Africa and the Atlantic archipelagos in 1418–1419, using recent developments in navigation, cartography, and maritime technology such as the caravel, with the aim of finding a sea route to the source of the lucrative spice trade. In 1488, Bartolomeu Dias rounded the Cape of Good Hope, and in 1498 Vasco da Gama reached India. In 1500, either by an accidental landfall or by the crown's secret design, Pedro Álvares Cabral reached what would be Brazil.
Over the following decades, Portuguese sailors continued to explore the coasts and islands of East Asia, establishing forts and factories as they went. By 1571, a string of naval outposts connected Lisbon to Nagasaki along the coasts of Africa, the Middle East, India, and South Asia. This commercial network and the colonial trade had a substantial positive impact on Portuguese economic growth (1500–1800) when it accounted for about a fifth of Portugal's per-capita income.
When King Philip II of Spain (Philip I of Portugal) seized the Portuguese crown in 1580, there began a 60-year union between Spain and Portugal known to subsequent historiography as the Iberian Union, although the realms continued to have separate administrations. As the King of Spain was also King of Portugal, Portuguese colonies became the subject of attacks by three rival European powers hostile to Spain: the Dutch Republic, England, and France. With its smaller population, Portugal found itself unable to effectively defend its overstretched network of trading posts, and the empire began a long and gradual decline. Eventually, Brazil became the most valuable colony of the second era of empire (1663–1825), until, as part of the wave of independence movements that swept the Americas during the early 19th century, it broke away in 1822.
The third era of empire covers the final stage of Portuguese colonialism after the independence of Brazil in the 1820s. By then, the colonial possessions had been reduced to forts and plantations along the African coastline (expanded inland during the Scramble for Africa in the late 19th century), Portuguese Timor, and enclaves in India (Portuguese India) and China (Portuguese Macau). The 1890 British Ultimatum led to the contraction of Portuguese ambitions in Africa.
Under António Salazar (in office 1932–1968), the Estado Novo dictatorship made some ill-fated attempts to cling on to its last remaining colonies. Under the ideology of pluricontinentalism, the regime renamed its colonies "overseas provinces" while retaining the system of forced labour, from which only a small indigenous élite was normally exempt. In August 1961, the Dahomey annexed the Fort of São João Baptista de Ajudá, and in December that year India annexed Goa, Daman, and Diu. The Portuguese Colonial War in Africa lasted from 1961 until the final overthrow of the Estado Novo regime in 1974. The Carnation Revolution of April 1974 in Lisbon led to the hasty decolonization of Portuguese Africa and to the 1975 annexation of Portuguese Timor by Indonesia. Decolonization prompted the exodus of nearly all the Portuguese colonial settlers and of many mixed-race people from the colonies. Portugal returned Macau to China in 1999. The only overseas possessions to remain under Portuguese rule, the Azores and Madeira, both had overwhelmingly Portuguese populations, and Lisbon subsequently changed their constitutional status from "overseas provinces" to "autonomous regions". The Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP) is the cultural successor of the Empire, analogous to the Commonwealth of Nations for countries formerly part of the British Empire.

In the 17th century, Australia began to take form on maps.
This began with its discovery in 1606 by Willem Janszoon and its further exploration by the Dutch throughout the century.
But the idea of Terra Australis, which we established in part 1 of this series is not Australia, was still hanging on. What would eventually be named Australia was named New Holland and was seen as a separate continent from Terra Australis, though they could possibly connect....

#newlightpictures #algarve #portugal #teaser #documentary
This film documents the importance of the Algarve during the Age of Discoveries. With its strategic location, it was one of the regions in Portugal that had the greatest influence on Portuguese discoveries. Its coastal cities, such as Lagos and Sagres, were important starting ports for maritime expeditions that led the Portuguese to explore new lands and establish trade routes worldwide. Furthermore, it was in this region that Infante D. Henrique, the driving force behind the Age of Discoveries, was born and raised, and where the famous School of Sagres was established. It was here that many of the ships and caravels were built, including the iconic Caravel Boa Esperança, which was used by Vasco da Gama on his historic voyage to India.

How America Was Found BEFORE Columbus

Although the Pizzigano map was made 68 years before Columbus officially stepped foot in the Bahamas, it’s clear that it depicts a big landmass west of the Iberian peninsula, when at the time no one even imagined such possibility.
This island also went by the name of Isle of Seven Cities. It originates from an old Iberian legend, set during the Muslim conquest of Hispania in 714 AD. Seeking to flee from the Muslim conquerors, seven Christian Visigothic bishops embarked with their flocks on ships and set sail westwards into the
Atlantic Ocean, eventually landing on an island (Antilha) where they founded seven settlements.
But let’s not lose track of the topic. In the Pizzigano map, if you follow the studies of historians and give some slack to 500 year old mapping techniques you can identify several known landmasses depicted in it.
First let’s look at the island with the description of “Balmas” which is argued to be modern day “Andros” in the Bahamas, funnily enough the exact island Columbus first landed in his famous trip.
Second, there’s “Ynma” which looks quite similar to modern day “Prince Eduard Island”, then there’s “Satanazes” similar to what nowadays is the Avalon peninsula. Further north there’s the easily recognizable half moon which even today’s sailors often recognize it as being the south tip of Greenland.
The historian jhon d.irany himself wrote a thesis about the pre-discovery of america by the portuguese, in it he states that on waldseemuller's map it's clear the portuguese already knew about the pacific ocean (officially discovered 6 years later than the map in 1513) as well as the istmo no Panamá, os andes, the sierra nevada mountains in the US and even the west coast of canada. For all these discoveries spanning 18800km the historian calculated that (pg88) the date of first contact had to be AT LEAST 1481, not accounting for shipwrecks, the time that information took to arrive to waldseemuller, the time it took him to fabricate the map, the much bigger effort and damages the ships took when compared to exploring the african coast with subsequently more damages and time wasted lost at sea and repairing the ships (for example colon lost the ship santa maria and almost lost the ships nina and Pinta in what is arguably a much shorter trip than if he were to explore south america or the other side of the american continent) and the ships couldn't count on local civilizations to re-stock supply like, so the most probable date was determined to be 1477 by the historian.
This date coincides exactly to 2 years before the treaty of Alcáçovas, but why does that matter, well, you see, in this treaty made in 1479
king Fernando and Queen Isabel of Spain officially gave order to the start the Spanish era of long distance exploration, Portugal was the clear dominant at sea when it came to ocean currents, ship technology and sailing techniques and overall capabilities, Spain wasn't even close
Pope Alexandre I had just given to Spain the right to every land to the west of Cape Verde, he drew an imaginary line of 100 léguas curting right throw the Atlantic ocean and tried to devide the world into 2. But the portuguese king wasn't having any of it, he quickly gathered arguments and stormed the Vatican city arguing against the pope decision, which gave start to diplomatic talks between Portugal and Spain and soon later in 1494 in the famous treaty of Tordesilhas this imaginary line along the Atlantic ocean was moved 270 léguas west which conveniently now allowed Portugal to claim Brazil.
[ ] The lack of documentation is the most argued points against the theory (fact) of pre-colon finding of europe by the portuguese, but even this can be refuted. In 1755 Lisbon woke up to one of the deadliest and most destructive acontecimentos in history, the earth started shaking, full buildings started crumbling to the ground, fires ignited all throughout the city (due to the intensive use of candles for illumination) and if this wasn't enough a massive tsunami made sure to finish the job and bring the almighty capital of the Portuguese empire to its knees, it's still visible today in the few remaining buildings the level of destruction that this event brought to the city and it's also clear that A LOT of precious documents, books and official exploration reports were forever lost to the same sea who gave Portugal so many opportunities.
[ ] I know the video is getting long but I still have a few stories about this era, it's reported that the the King Jhon the II of Portugal told colon about about "firm land south of the canary islands" and that there was a "a big continent" in his words, at the time firm land meant that it wasn't an island and big continent well it means the same and that's when colon became so obsessed with exploration to the west of the iberian peninsula and years later set sail to Cuba
