Why is this countrie's history so underated?
Recently been reading about iberia's history and i must say i'm quite surprised with how intriguing portuguese history is... at first i genuinely tought it was just some semi-irrelevant bootleg version of Spain but for its size they really knew how to pull their weight.
Too bad Spain and Portugal are utter shitholes these days, good only for vacations and nothing else
>Too bad Spain and Portugal are utter shitholes these days, good only for vacations and nothing else
Why do you say that? You´ve never actually been to Spain or Portugal have you?
>You´ve never actually been to Spain or Portugal have you?
I've been to andalusia
Outside of the touristical areas it looked like a 3rd world country. Decaying houses, poor people, horrible roads, etc
Andalucía is one of the poorest parts of Spain, sure... still far better than any actual shitholes that exist in the world. I would take Andalucía over Detroit or some nogged suburb in London or Paris any day of the week. Go to the north of Spain if you really need to see a more developed, wealthier Spain.
>Too bad Spain and Portugal are utter shitholes these days, good only for vacations and nothing else
Just imagine be so dumb to write something like this.
>horrible roads
non-sense
im from Portugal
this is a joke
our roads are not great byt any standards, let alone 1st world standards, and are certainly far worse than spains
How easy is to spot the chicano/mexican.
And you have never been here unless you went to a gypsy neighbourhood which area lot in Andaluciq conskdering 10% of people in Andalucia are gypsies (aka Indians)
>10% of people in Andalucia are gypsies (aka Indians)
Do they have an equivalently hilarious accent in Spanish / Castilian? Like what's the same as "good morning sirs" in Good Ol' Espana
There’s a lot of people on LULZ who had sisters and girlfriends fucked on Spanish holiday.
>Too bad Spain and Portugal are utter shitholes these days, good only for vacations and nothing else
its not that bad pussy
was about to say OP doesn't know what he's talking about
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita#Table
None of those countries are shitholes tho
that's the point, Spain and Portugal are very developed nations
>Spain and Portugal are utter shitholes these days
I envy people who have never seen actual shitholes
Let's discuss portuguese history and genetics
what about it?
like, seriously discussing not posting 2016-tier historico-political memes
>sees a pepe
>muh "2016-tier"
what is this cope? do you think only 2016 is when smug pepe gained popularity? it's just a meme like Wojak or Gigachad/Chad
it's cringe
Now, tell me why you guys managed your colonial resources so badly? Why didn't you create an internal flux of economy and raise a merchant class like the dutch did?
(checked)
Meds are smart but their not top tier when it comes to European genetics for IQ. From the data I've read Northern Europeans are 3-4 IQ points higher (a 3rd of a standard deviation) than Meds
While not much if you know Stats that is relevant
and I say that as a Med myself
Portugal didn't colonize to settle a bunch of Portuguese abroad in general it was for trade and extracting resources
>burger starts learning France isn't the only country in Europe
