Portugal (Differently)

The Kingdom of Portugal is a country in the western coast of the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe, bordered by Spain on the east and north and bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the west. The Atlantic archipelagos of Azores and Madeira are also part of its territory.

Formed in the Middle Ages, Portugal is one of the oldest countries in the world. From the 15th century onwards, it discovered many lands across the world and established a global colonial empire, becoming one of the world's major economic, military and political powers. Since the 19th century, its colonies began declaring independence as sovereign states, the first of which being Brazil in 1822.
