Description

John I was chosen by the people to rule in Portugal in 1385. He was also much loved throughout his reign and made a lot of changes to the benefit of both the people and to strengthen the Portuguese trade as well as ability to explore the New World. Of course there were powerful noblemen not happy about these changes since it meant losing some of the power they had before.

Description

The sixth and youngest son of King John I of Portugal and his wife Philippa of Lancaster, Prince Ferdinand was too young to participate in the conquest of Ceuta (1415) alongside his father and older brothers. Seeking to make his own mark on the world, Ferdinand later took part in the disastrous siege of Tangiers (1437) led by his elder brother Prince Henry the Navigator. In the aftermath, Ferdinand was captured and handed over to the Marinid rulers of Morocco as a hostage for the surrender of Ceuta in accordance with the terms of a treaty negotiated between the rulers of Portugal and Morocco by Prince Henry. Initially held in comfort as a royal prisoner, once it became clear that the Portuguese had no interest in exchanging Ferdinand for the recently-conquered fortress of Ceuta, Ferdinand's status deteriorated, and then so did his health. Following years of imprisonment, 'O Infante Santo' ('the Holy Prince') died in captivity in Fez on 5 June 1443.

Description

Throughout Portuguese colonization the salary for officials was only a token sum. However it was assumed that any important position would allow for the person appointed to gain huge personal wealth.

Description

King Afonso was only 6 years old when he became king of Portugal. For the first 8 years of his reign (1438-46) the country was ruled well by the Duke of Coimbra in his place. However, after Don Afonso had ascended the throne as was customary at the age of 14, intriguing noblemen at the court managed to cast doubts in the young king's mind about the intentions of the duke. The duke was sent away from the king, but later decided to return to his side and help him rule the country. The duke not wanting to leave anything to chance, in fear of his conspiring enemies at the court, made the bad decision to approach the king accompanied by a force of several dozen soldiers for his own protection. The conspirators however managed to convince the king that his old beloved friend was now trying to start a rebellion against him. The king thus sent out an army to engage the enemy before he arrived. There was no real battle, but the Duke of Coimbra was killed nevertheless.

Description

When the Portuguese had settled themselves in India, they started a blockade and privateer campaign against Arab shipping in the Oman Sea, effectively stopping trade and cutting off the Spice supplies to Alexandria, where Venetian tradesmen used to buy these prized exotic goods. This prompted a reaction from the Caliph of Cairo who decided to send a fleet, partly build with Venetian help in Suez, which met the Portuguese squadron under Albuquerque off the Indian port of Diu in 1508. Portuguese caravel cannons and seamanship soundly defeated the Caliphs fleet and the Spice trade was more than ever in the hands of the Lusitanian.

Annoyed by the constant provocations from the local Muslim ruler and encouraged by the Hindu ruler of Vijayanagar, he wished to obtain a base for trade and further expeditions in India. In March 1510 he assaulted the wealthy town of Goa, but had to abandon the city 2 months later due to lack of reinforcements. However 6 months later he came back and conquered Goa for the second time in November 1510.

When in 1570 the Turks sent an ultimatum to Venice asking for the ceding of Cyprus and then invaded the island after the Republic of San Marco failed to respond, a great uproar was created in the Catholic world by the facts and rumors of Ottoman atrocities in the last Christian bastion of the eastern Mediterranean. After a first failure in the summer of 1570, Pope Pie V managed to convince major Catholic nations (except France) to join a Holy League against the heathens Turks, and it was proclaimed in May 1571. The League would lead to the great naval victory of Don Juan on the Turks at Lepanto, but would not outlast this first and final triumph.

After the Portuguese king had died without an heir, the Portuguese were forced to elect Filipe II of Spain as king of Portugal.

His two successors, however, did a far less effective job of ruling Portugal - a fact that would later result in the National Uprising. Disputing the Spanish Habsburg claim was that of António, a bastard grandson of Manuel I, a previous king of Portugal. António had a degree of popular support and would prove a figurehead of resistance once Filipe had been crowned.

Description

Literally from the ashes of Lisboa, a new leader rose to the power and managed to shake entire Portugal out of the paralyzation caused by the earthquake. He forced through many far reaching reforms. During his rule Lisboa was rebuilt and Portugal entered into the pre-industrial era. In many ways his excellent governing would, for a time, bring back Portugal almost to its former level of glory a few hundred years back.

Description

The earthquake that destroyed Lisbon was a catastrophe of huge proportions that resounded across Europe and the New World. November 1st, 1755 had started as a beautiful day - everyone had crammed into the city's numerous churches to celebrate a public holiday, when the ground suddenly started to shake and those very same churches started caving in, crushing the city's populace. For those who managed to survive it was far from over as fires broke out all over the city, with Lisbon's strong coastal winds serving only to fan the flames towards the centre of the city, creating a virtual inferno which incinerated thousands. The death toll mounted further as a result of the tidal waves caused by the initial quake. It is thought that around 30,000 - 40,000 people died that day, with the unique combination of all four elements (earth, wind, water and fire) attributed to an Act of God against the people of the city. Though Lisbon would be rebuilt and eventually recover economically, its status as one of Europe's premier centres of trade and shipbuilding was over for good - the hub of the Portuguese Empire would become the great Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, Portugal's future capital.

Description

Feitorias were fortified trading posts or factories established by Portugal during the Age of Exploration, primarily in the 15th and 16th centuries. These strategic outposts played a crucial role in Portugal's global expansion by facilitating trade and commerce in key locations. The feitorias served as bases for Portuguese merchants, where they could store goods, engage in trade with local populations, and maintain a presence in foreign territories. They were established along trade routes acoss the globe, but primarily from West Africa to the Indian Ocean, and along the coast of Brazil. The Portuguese feitorias not only contributed to the flourishing spice trade but also served as platforms for the dissemination of culture, ideas and technology. Their legacy is significant in the history of early globalization, as they paved the way for Portugal's role as a major maritime and trading power during the Age of Exploration.

Description

After the death of the king the forces that had been conspiring to end his life earlier now turned their attention towards the person that had been the real ruler of the Portuguese kingdom, Marquis de Pombal. With no support from a king, Pombal's position was hazardous at best and he was forced to flee. Consequently the reforms he had started that had gotten Portugal back on the path to prosperity were not to continue. Instead grossly reactionary policies implemented by the 'Old Nobility and the Men of the Church' again moved Portugal backwards, threatening to let her end up in the backwater of most of the other European powers in the centuries to come.

Description

With Napoleon's domination of Europe quickily becoming reality, the Portuguese played a desperate game with France for time. For as long as he could, King John VI feigned apparent submission to France, to the point of suggesting to King George III of the United Kingdom the declaration of a fictitious state of war between their countries. However, John refused to obey the diktats of Napoleon's Continental System (a blockade of Britain), and so a new secret treaty with the British guaranteed him help in case of an eventual flight of the royal family. This accord greatly favored the British and preserved their influence over the country, as British merchants continued to make vast profits in trade with Portugal's wealthy colonial empire. It fell to Portugal to choose between an alliance with France or with Britain, and the hesitancy to decide firmly placed Portugal at risk of war with not only one, but both. In October 1807, news arrived that a French army was approaching, and on 16 November, a British squadron arrived in the port of Lisbon with a force of seven thousand men with orders either to escort the royal family to Brazil or, if the government surrendered to France, to attack and conquer the Portuguese capital. The court was divided between Francophiles and Anglophiles, and after anguished consideration under pressure from both sides, John decided to accept British protection and leave for Brazil.

Description

The end of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe did not bring peace to Portugal, which had been crippled by social and economic neglect during years of far-flung rule from Brazil - most notably the 'Liberal Revolution' which broke out in Porto on 24 August 1820. After over a decade abroad, the royal family had become attached to their new capital in Rio de Janeiro, and it was only under great duress that in 1821 King John VI returned to Lisbon in order to adhere to the needs of his other realm. In doing so, he left his eldest son and heir, Dom Pedro, as regent of Brazil.

Description

In 1815, the Portuguese crown prince Dom John (later King John VI), acting as regent, created the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves - an act which raised the status of Brazil from colony to kingdom. He ascended the Portuguese throne the following year, following the death of his mother, Maria I, and returned to Portugal in 1821, leaving behind his son and heir, Dom Pedro, to rule Brazil as regent. The Portuguese government immediately moved to revoke the political autonomy that Brazil had been granted since 1808, with the threat of losing their limited control over local affairs igniting widespread opposition among Brazilians. In September 1822, Brazilian leaders led by the influential magnate José Bonifácio de Andrada convinced Dom Pedro to declare Brazil's independence from Portugal, and on 12 October he was proclaimed Pedro I, Emperor of Brazil.

Action A of 3590 - The Empire of Brazil for Portugal

Description

Dom Miguel's rebellion was rooted in the death of King John VI in 1826, which created a succession dispute between his sons Pedro and Miguel. While Dom Pedro was the king's oldest son and successor, his younger brother Dom Miguel contended that Pedro's infant daughter Maria could not be named as her father's heir owing to her age, sex and the fact that Miguel, as the son of a king, outranked her. Though few in Brazil supported Miguel's cause - most thought him insolent and petty - he did manage to forment a serious rebellion back in Portugal, primarily owing to the fact that the people there felt isolated from Rio de Janeiro and cut-off from having any real influence. Pedro's response to his brother's treason was to revise the first constitution of Portugal granted in 1822, confirming Maria as his sole legal heir and disinheriting Miguel entirely. The uprising finally ended in 1832, with Maria's succession secured and Miguel accepting a pension and peaceful exile.

Action B of 3590 - The Empire of Brazil for Portugal

Description

The Liberal Wars ('Guerras Liberais') were civil wars fought between liberal constitutionalists and conservative absolutists in Portugal over royal succession that lasted from 1828 to 1834. The conflict was rooted in the death of King John VI in 1826, which created a succession dispute between his sons Pedro and Miguel. While Dom Pedro, the Emperor of Brazil, was the king's oldest son, his younger brother Miguel contended that Pedro had forfeited his claim to the throne by declaring Brazilian independence. Though Pedro briefly titled himself King Pedro IV of Portugal, neither the Portuguese nor the Brazilians wanted a unified monarchy, and so Pedro abdicated the Portuguese throne in favor of his daughter, Maria, a child of 7. In April 1826, to settle the succession dispute, Pedro revised the first constitution of Portugal granted in 1822 and left the throne to Maria, with his sister Isabel Maria as regent. Seizing his chance to fill the political vacuum left by his brother's abdication, Miguel rose up and declared himself king. What followed was six years of warfare and rebellion in which forces loyal to Pedro (supporting the rights of his daughter Maria) and Miguel fought for supremacy of Portugal. Pedro, leading the Liberals, was supported by Britain and France, whereas Miguel, leading the Absolutists, was backed by Tsarist Russia and ultra-conservative elements in Spain. The war finally ended in 1834, with Maria keeping the throne and Miguel accepting a pension and peaceful exile.

Action B of 3173 - The Succession of Carlos II in Spain for Spain

Description

On November 1st, 1700, the last Habsburg king Charles II of Spain died heirless. Both Louis XIV of France and Leopold I of Austria had married the defunct king's sisters and had thus direct and legitimate claims to the succession. To prevent that the chosen heir reigned over too powerful a kingdom, the European had anticipated the crisis and agreed in 1697 and again in early 1700 to a partition that would retain the Balance of Power in Europe. However, Carlos II and the Spanish Government was greatly upset by the other countries meddling in strictly Spanish affairs and thus tried to name Philip of Anjou, grandson of the Sun-King, the heir to the Spanish throne. However in the late phase of the Franco-Spanish negotiations a secretary of one of the Spanish ministers leaked out information and Habsburg partisans back in Madrid argued for allocating succession to the Austrian branch of the Habsburg dynasty, so Charles II hard beset, in one of his last official acts, left Spain to his nephew, Charles of Habsburg. This solution endangered the European balance of power and led to the formation of the Grand Alliance against Austria and Spain. Thus when Austrian forces reinforced the Spanish Netherlands the War of Spanish Succession broke out.
