  Well lovely people - I'm gonna try my best to get Cabral out before I leave for Normandy. I'm about half way done dictating it and will have it out in Audio Podcast form by the end of the week. In the meantime enjoy this compilation!! Viva Portugal !

  Funny fact: King John II rejected the Columbus proposal because his carthographes alerted him a gross error in Columbus estimation of the size of the Earth. And they were right. Spain discovered Americas because, different from Portugal, they had no idea what they were doing.

  I have always been fascinated by the Portuguese navigators. They felt to me like madmen, obssessed with adventure, ambitious, fearless.

  Portuguese history is underrated here in Brazil. People here tend to overrate Italian immigrants, German immigrants, and others, but these ethnic groups are, in fact, all refugees in a country discovered, conquered, and maintained by musket, spear, and cannon by the Portuguese.

  This video blew my mind at how the Portuguese accomplished what seemed to be the impossible.

  I can only imagine what it must have been like for the  Portuguese of that time to stand on a beach or cliff at the most western part of continental Europe. Looking out over the never ending vastness of the Atlantic ocean and wonder ‘ what’s out there’.

  I am an history investigator from Portugal, in FCSH, Lisbon. I enjoy your videos, you glaze over many details (simply because you don't have access to secure documents in Torre do Tombo and these are not on the internet) so some context gets lost in the details. Even so to be honest is one of the most complete series on youtube in english about the portuguese empire. Keep up the research. Cheers from Portugal
