Description
The Infante Dom Henrique left court and went to Sagres, Portugal's Lands End. This place, a promontory on the edge of the open ocean, had an otherworldly reputation, and had been called the Sacred Promontory by Marinus and Ptolomy (from which the name Sagres derives). Prince Henry made his base for sea exploration, making it a centre for cartography, navigation and shipbuilding. The Catalan Jew from Majorca, Jehuda Cresques, son of the cartographer Abraham Cresques, was brought to Sagres to supervise the collation of geographic facts brought back by Henry's explorers, who were encouraged and later required to keep detailed logs of their voyages. Muslims and Arabs, Italians from Genoa and Venice, Germans and Scandinavians came to Sagres. This community developed navigational instruments such as the quadrant, and new mathematical tables to aid in determining latitude. The local port of Lagos saw the development of a new type of ship, the caravel.Actions

Cape Bojador, located south of the Canaries, was previously thought to have water too shallow, and currents too strong for ships to navigate. It was also a popular belief that the sun was too hot to support life south of the cape. Many regarded it as the edge of the world. At the urging of Prince Henry, one of his captains, Gil Eannes, finally passed Cape Bojador in 1434. Further improvements in Caravel design also promoted the exploration of the African Coast. Henceforth, a series of expedtions in Portuguese caravels sailed south with the red Templar cross emblazoned upon their sails, bringing back ivory, gold, slaves, and other strange flora and fauna to Lisbon.Actions

King Duarte, João's successor and Henry's older brother, had petitioned Rome to have their youngest brother, Fernão, named master of Avis, which was granted by Pope Eugenius IV, by the bull 'Sincere devotionis' dated 9 September 1434. In 1437 Portugal sent an expedition against Tangier, led by Henry. The expedition failed, due largely to mistakes by Henry, and his youngest brother Fernão, the master of Avis, was captured. He was imprisoned in bad conditions, held hostage for the return of Ceuta to the Muslims. For eleven years the Portuguese debated whether or not to give up Ceuta, until in 1448 Dom Fernão died in captivity. Henry's brother Duarte died shortly after the Tangier expedition, leaving his six year old son Afonso as the King. There was a fight over the regency between Duarte's widow and Henry's brother D. Pedro which Pedro eventually won.Actions

Afonso V was only six years old when he succeeded his father in 1438. During his minority, Afonso V was placed under the regency of his mother in accordance to the will of his father. As both a foreigner and a woman, the Queen was not a popular choice for regent. Opposition rose and the Queen's only ally was Afonso, the illegitimate half brother of Duarte I and Count of Barcelos. In the following year, the Cortes (assembly of the Kingdom) decided to replace the Queen with Pedro, Duke of Coimbra, the young King's oldest uncle. His main priority was to continue the policy of his brother and father to weaken the great noble houses and concentrate power in the hands of the King. The country prospered under his rule, but not peacefully, as his laws interfered with the ambition of powerful nobles.Actions

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 Dom Afonso had ascended the throne as was customary at the age of 14, scheming 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 and 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 never the less.Actions

In 1469 Alfonso V of Portugal was presented with the opportunity of becoming the King of Castile when he and his brother-in-law Enrique IV of Castile agreed on his marriage to Isabel, Princess of Asturias (heir title). But the deal failed when Isabel married Fernando of Aragon. When Enrique died and Isabel proclaimed herself Queen, in 1475, he saw his chance disappearing and decided to play hard. In a month he was married to his niece, Juana, and had claimed the crown of Castile for himself, invading the country. The plan was good because Juana had also the support of France and a great part of the Castilian nobility who rebelled in her support. Despite the simultaneous invasion from France and Portugal, and the rebellion of the nobles in the West of Castile, the war did not go well. The French were stopped by the Basques, while Fernando, with troops mostly from Castile and Asturias, inflicted a crushing defeat to the Portuguese in Toro in 1476. Alfonso traveled to France to try to get a stronger involvement from Louis XI, but the French had lost interest. By then Fernando had recovered control of all the Northwest. The war at sea, that extended as far as the coast of Guinea, claimed by Castile, was also favorable to Isabel. Alfonso's marriage to his niece was not recognized by the Pope, and a last invasion at the South ended also in defeat at la Albuera in February, 1479. With the nobility subdued and the Portuguese defeated, Castile had now the upper hand, but Isabel was half Portuguese herself, and Portuguese was her first language. She desired a perpetual peace with Portugal, with long lasting friendship and perhaps a dynastic union in the future, like the one with Aragon, and she was prepared to be generous with the defeated to obtain it. The treaty of Alcacovas, was concluded in September 4, 1479. It had four parts, all of them historically important. In the first part, Isabel and Fernando were recognized as rightful Kings of Castile and Leon, and Alfonso was recognized as rightful King of Portugal. In the second part, Juana renounced to her claim to the crown of Castile and was forced to expend the rest of her life in a convent in Portugal. In the third part, the future marriage between the infant Alfonso, son of Joao and the infant Isabel, daughter of the Catholic Kings was arranged. And in the fourth part, Castile accepted the claim of Portugal over Guinea, and the Atlantic coast of Africa, Madeira, Azores and Cape Verde, and any future discoveries South of the Canary Islands toward Guinea. Portugal accepted the claim of Castile over the Canary Islands. The treaty of Alcacovas is very important because it created a long lasting peace between Portugal and Spain, and set the basis for future diplomatic resolution of conflicts, like the discovery of the New World and the treaty of Tordesillas. Some believe it was crucial to the discovery of the New World by Spain, as Africa was reserved for Portugal, leaving only the unknown West for Spain.Actions

Description
After taking over the throne, João II took a series of measures to curtail the overgrown power of his aristocracy and to concentrate power in the Crown. Immediately, the nobles started to conspire. João II did nothing but observe. Letters of complaint and pleas to intervene were exchanged between the Duke of Bragança and Queen Isabel I of Spain. In 1483, this correspondence was intercepted by royal spies. The House of Bragança was outlawed, their lands confiscated and the Duke executed in Évora. After the nobility appealed to Spain, the King ordered the execution of the Duke of Bragança and later executed the Duke of Viseu himself. Many other people were executed, murdered, fled or exiled to Castile including the Bragança Bishop of Évora who was probably poisoned in prison.João II restyled the flag of Portugal in 1485, introducing important changes: the removal of the Aviz cross, a downward arrangement and edge-smoothing of the 'quinas' (blue bezant-charged escutcheons), and the definitive fixing of five saltire-arranged bezants in each 'quina' and seven castles on the bordure.

The latter had been a pupil of the Rabbi Abraham ben Samuel Zacuto at the University of Salamanca and he provided the commission with a copy of the Rabbi's Almanach Perpetuum Colestium Motium (Perpetual Almanac of the Heavenly Bodies) which consisted of tables that listed the declination of the sun over the course of the year. The commission published the Regimento do Astrolabio e do Quadrante which contained a Portuguese translation of the 1250 text by Sacrobosco, Sphaera Mundi, on the spherical nature of the Earth. It also included the Regimento do Norte which gve rules on how to use the Pole Star to determine latitude and the Regimento do Sol which provided rules and tables to allow sailors to use the height of the sun at noon to determine their latitude. Coupled with improvements in navigational instruments this information greatly eased the navigational problems that had bedevilled earlier explorers.Actions

In 1492, the Catholic Kings of Spain expelled all the Jews from Spain. More than 60,000 Spanish Jews came to Portugal seeking permanent refuge. King João II of Portugal allowed them to enter because he was preparing for war against the Moors and wanted to take advantage of their wealth and expertise in weapon-making. At a price of 100 cruzados a family, 630 wealthy Jewish families were granted permanent residence. A number of craftsmen, skilled in making weapons, were also allowed to become permanent residence. The rest were permitted to stay in Portugal for eight months, upon payment of 8 cruzados per adult. At the end of those eight months, shipping was still not available, so the King declared the remaining Jews slaves.Actions

Description
When Manuel I ascended to the throne he married the Infanta Isabel of Spain to solidify his position on the throne. Isabel told Manuel that she would only marry him if he expelled the Jews. So Manuel issued a decree forcing all Jews to leave Portugal by October 1497. He tried to convert as many Jews to Christianity as he could to keep them in Portugal. Jewish parents were ordered to take their children to Lisbon. Upon arrival, the parents were informed that their children were going to be taken away from them and were to be given to Catholic families to be raised as good Catholics. Some parents agreed to be baptized, along with their children, while others succumbed and handed over their children. In October 1497, about 20,000 Jews came to Lisbon to prepare for departure to other lands. They were herded into the courtyard of Os Estaos Palace where priests attempted to convert them. Those who did not convert were told they forfeited their freedom and would become slaves.Actions

After De Gama's departure in 1503 Calicut attempted to restore his rule over Cochin and burnt the city to the ground, although the Portuguese traders were able to offer sanctuary to the Raja in their feitoria. Later that year another fleet arrived and it left a small force under Duarte Pacheco Pereira to defend the city and build a fortress.

Description
When Pedro Álvares Cabral returned from the second Portuguese voyage to the Indies King Manuel I realized that it would not be possible to secure the spice trade with India without using force. He instructed his new Viceroy D. Francisco de Almeida: ''It seems to us that nothing would be would serve us better than to have a fortress at the mouth of the Red Sea or near to it — rather inside it than outside might afford the better control — because from there we could see to it that no spice would pass to the land of the Sultan of Egypt, and all those in India would lose the false notion that they could trade any more, save through us... You should collect our ships after accomplishing all you are commanded to do at Quilon... and when these are collected, it would please us for you to pass to the mouth of the Red Sea.'' In furtherance of Manuel's instructions the Portuguese attempted to control all the shipping in the Indian Ocean by a system of cartazes (passes) that each shipowner was required to purchase to prevent his ship from being seized. Furthermore they forced merchants to come to Goa by creating monopolies in items like the Arabian horses highly sought after by Indian rulers for their cavalry.Actions

After several attempts to institute the Holy Inquisition in Portugal it was finally approved in 1536 by the Pope. However the first Grand Inquisitor, the Bishop of Ceuta, had no intentions of using his powers and the Inquisition remained inactive until 1539 when he was replaced by the King's brother, Henrique, the Archbishop of Évora. While much lesser known than its Spanish counterpart, the Portuguese Inquisition probably executed more people over its existence than the Spanish Inquisition. To a much greater extent in Portugal than in Spain the Inquisition was used as a tool by the aristocracy to oppress the Novos Cristãos (New Christians) who comprised much of the Portuguese middle and commercial classes. It wasn't abolished until 1821, although the Marquis of Pombal pulled its teeth in 1768 by abolishing the distinction between New and Old Christians.Actions

By the late 16th century the Portuguese military was well into decline. It had a shortage of troops because so many died or deserted in the Indies. Portugal began sending fewer and fewer men to the Indies as sending so many for the past 100 years had depleted the mainland population. Many Portuguese prefered to go to Brazil instead of the Indies as it was safer and began to become more profitable. The quality of leadership among Portuguese generals also declined. Compared to earlier voyages to the Indies more men were lost enroute as well as more ships were lost at sea either to storms or pirates.Actions

Description
The most sublime figure in the history of Portuguese literature, celebrated worldwide, Camões owes his lasting fame to his epic poem Os Lusiadas, (The Lusiads). He is also remarkable for the degree of art attained in his lyrics, less noteworthy for his dramas. A wretched exile during a large part of his lifetime, he has enjoyed an abundance of fame since his death. His followers have been legion, and his memory has begot many fabulous legends. Born in 1524 or 1525, Camões came from a noble family of reduced means. He belonged to the same stock as the noted explorer, Vasco da Gama, who figures importantly in The Lusiads. His life was one of adventure with voyages to distant lands, impossible love affairs, shipwrecks, duels and combat. He was willing to spend more than he earned, which lead to his poverty in his old age. Nevertheless, he was able to publish his Magnum Opus (The Lusiads) in 1572 dedicating it to the visionary and foolhardy King Dom Sebastião. He died in 1580.Actions

Description
D. Sebastião I appointed Francisco Barreto Captião-Mor of an expedition to capture the goldmines of Monomotapa and Capitão da Moçambique in 1569. However the expedition took quite a while to assemble and Barreto didn't leave Portuguese-controlled Sena on the Zambezi River until 1572. It achieved some military successes, but was decimated by disease, including the death of Barreto in July 1573. Vasco Fernandes Homem succeeded him and withdrew the expedition back to Moçambique to recuperate. He was determined that this time the expedition would take the route through Sofala to reach Monomotapa. He reached some of the gold and silver mines and forced the local chief to pay tribute. The outpost he left behind to exploit the silver mines was overwhelmed and destroyed not long after his return to Moçambique. The most important legacies of the expedition were the opening of the area to Portuguese merchants, the consolidation of Portuguese control of the Zambezi River Valley with the establishment of captaincies at Sena and Tete and the knowledge that due to the dispersed nature of the gold mines it was much easier to gain it by trade than by conquest.Actions

In 1575 Portugal established a colony at Cabinda based on slave trade. Before the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade, slavery was practiced in Africa by many indigenous peoples. The African slave trade provided a large number of black slaves to Europeans and their African agents. In what is now current day Angola, the Imbangala people had economies which were heavily focused on the slave trade and supplied the Portuguese with many other neighboring tribal slaves. The Portuguese hold on Angola lasted into the twentieth century.Actions

Description
In 1577, during the reign of Sebastião I and on the eve of the fatal Battle of Alcácer Quibir, the flag was again modified. The number of castles was permanently fixed at seven and the royal crown was converted into a closed three-arched crown, which symbolized a stronger royal authority.After Sebastião's reign, ogival shield became a rounded one (so-called ''Portuguese type'' shield) in 1640 and was converted to a samnitic (''French type'') shield in 1707. Flag's crown was adapted to fit the contemporary trends in 1667 and 1707.
With the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and Algarves, shield and flag were changed again in 1816. The coat of arms, whose shield became rounded again, now rested upon a blue-filled yellow armillary sphere (arms of Brazil) surmounted by a beret-bearing five-arched crown on a white background.

Description
In 1580, a regency council convened in Portugal to settle the succession. With the death of Sebastião I, Portugal was left with no clear heir. Several people had claims to the throne: Filipe II of Spain, son of D. Isabel (daugther of D. Manuel I) who had a large support of the nobles but lacked peasant support, D. Antonio, despised by the nobles because he was an ilegitimate son of D. Luis (son of D. Manuel I) but had great support from the lower classes, and finally, D. Catarina, the Duchess of Bragança. She was the legitimate daughter of D. Duarte (son of D. Manuel I). Duchess Catarina Bragança had the best claim to the throne but the nobles were unwilling to overlook her gender. Dismissing her claims left the nobles to either appeal to a foreign power, the claims of Filipe II of Spain, or accept Dom Antonio, illegitimate son of D. Luis. Filipe II expressed a lack of interest in the throne of Portugal, which left D. Antonio as the only acceptable choice. Although there were a few attempts to muster support for D. Catarina, eventually the claims of D. Antonio were accepted. Through an illegitimate branch, the house of Aviz lived on.Actions

This caused the Portuguese to support Mavura against the current Paramount Chief Inhambo, who was forced to seek refuge north of the Zambezi River.

He was initially quite successful as the Portuguese were totally taken by surprise and many traders who had flocked to Monomotapa after Mavura had submitted were killed. He also attacked the Portuguese settlement at Quelimane. However the Karanga chieftains had failed to stockpile firearms or to prepare defensive positions and Diogo Sousa de Meneses was able to crush them easily after he was appointed Captain of Mozambique in 1632.Actions

Description
The Sultan of Mombasa, Dom Jerónimo, had been raised as a Christian after his father had been assassinated by the Captain of Mombasa in 1614. When he was installed as the Sultan over his Muslim subjects by the Portuguese they complained that he practiced both Christian and Muslim customs. When a Portuguese spy confirmed this he revolted lest he be executed by the Portuguese as an apostate. He captured Fort Jesus in Mombasa by surprise, but eventually abandoned it when the promised Turkish reinforcements didn't show up. He initally fled to Arabia, but later returned and plagued the Portuguese for most of the next decade.Actions

By the 1640s, the nobility of Portugal were more than just annoyed with their Spanish captivity. None of the supposed benefits of the union with Spain had come to pass. Despite Filipe I's assurances that Spain would respect the Portuguese constitution and its customes, by the time of Filipe III, taxes were imposed and most all key posts in the government were held by Castilians. Portugal's colonial possessions were also under attack with Spain's enemies, the English and the Dutch. Frustrated by a union that had out lived its usefulness, a group of conspirators began to meet regularly and chose the Duke of Bragança to be their future sovereign. Although a mild-mannered man, the conspiring nobles chose the duke as he had the best claim to throne. Additionally, his confidence was bolstered by his wife, the scheming Luisa de Guzman, daughter of the Spanish Duke of Medina Sidonia. Having orchestrated their rebellion perfectly, the nobles quickly took the palace and the people of Lisbon took control of the city. News of the succesful revolt rapidly spread and one by one the Portuguese defeated the Spanish garrisons. On December 15th of 1640, the Duke and Duchess of Bragança were crowned King and Queen of Portugal.Actions

By the late 1650s, the Portuguese Empire was increasingly threatened by both Spain and Holland. Desperate to find friendly states that could render any assistance, Portugal turned to the rising maritime power of England for aid. The future Charles II was approached with the idea of a Portuguese marriage with Catherine of Bragança, daughter of the late King Joao IV and Queen Luisa de Gusmao. Part of the dowry was that Portugal would hand over the possessions of Bombay and Tangier to England. Charles II agreed, not only to increase England's overseas empire, but because weakening Spain and Holland by protecting Portugal was very popular domestically.Actions

Afonso VI was fit to rule, at least according to his age, in 1662. Dom Luís de Vasconcelos e Sousa, 3rd Count of Castelo Melhor, used Afonso's mental instability to befriend him and persuade him that his mother, Luisa, is working to take the throne of Portugal for herself. Afonso was convinced. He banished his mother to a convent and made Count of Castelo Melhor his secret notary (escrivão da puridade), position in which the favorite was able to exercise the functions of first minister. The new leader of Portugal continued the successes in war against Spain, but he was unable to maintain the internal stability. Without a strong central figure from the royal family, Count's authority began to erode as various political factions struggled for power. Count of Castelo Melhor was deposed and exiled in 1667, shortly before Afonso himself suffered the same fate.Actions

Description
The discovery of gold in Minas Gerais by men from São Paulo (Paulistas) resulted in a flood of immigrants. The Paulistas derisively termed the newcomers ''emboabas'' (birds with feathered legs) and regarded them with contempt since they were unfamiliar with life in the Brazilian hinterlands and were competitors for the gold that had been originally claimed by the Paulistas. The massive influx of people into an area that was essentially totally undeveloped before gold was discovered caused prices for the necessities of life to skyrocket, another bone of contention. Tensions were high between the two groups, but open conflict didn't break out until November of 1708 when the Paulista José Pardo was lynched. The emboabas attempted to disarm the Pauistas and evict them entirely from the gold regions. Their leader, Nunes Viana, even began to fill government post, pending the arrival of royal nominees. This alarmed the Governor of Rio de Janiero who arrived in Minas Gerais with a small escort of troops to investigate the disturbances. He generally supported the Paulistas as having legitimate grievances, but the emboabas forced him to return to Rio without settling the major issues. Lisbon ordered the new governor of Rio de Janiero, António de Albuquerque, to proclaim a general amnesty in the hopes of quelling the disturbances. This worked reasonably well, but Paulista hotheads gather forces for one last effort to retake the goldfields on 14 November 1709. They failed, not least to a warning of the impending attack by Albuquerque, and returned home to find a personal appeal by the King, D. João V, to give over their struggle.Actions

Description
When Carlos II of Spain died childless, he bequeathed the crown of Spain in favour of Philip of Anjou, grandson of Louis XIV of France. Emperor Leopold I of Austria contested this will, but found little support. However, two years later, Louis expansionism had convinced England and the Netherlands to enter an alliance against France and Spain. Portugal had initial agreements with France, but in 1703, due to commercial interests and the possibility of expanding the borders of Brazil, and seeing the course of war turning in favor of the Grand alliance, Portugal signed the treaties of Methuen with England, entering the war on her side. The main purpose of the treaty was to allow free introduction of English wool and cloths to Portugal in exchange of free entry of Portuguese wine into England (Port wine). The treaty made in effect Portugal an economic and political satellite of England, was effectively in place all the way to 1750, when King D José I choose to ignore it, even while it was still formally in effect until 1836. The participation of Portugal in the war was deemed very important, as it allowed the opening of the Western front in Spain to the invasion by Anglo-Portuguese troops.Actions

Description
Sugar was already in decline when gold was discovered in Minas Gerais. The resulting flood of immigrants exacerbated tensions between the sugar-planters in Olinda, the provincial capital of Pernambuco and the merchants, many of them of them recent immigrants themselves, of the thriving port city of Recife. The latter, derisively termed 'mascates', or peddlars by the planters, resented the fact that they had no say in even their local government because Recife wasn't legally a separate city and fell under the control of Olinda. The proclamation of the royal decree granting municipal status to Recife by the governor, Sebastiao de Castro e Caldas, in February and March of 1710 was seen as a threat to the dominance of Olinda and its controlling oligarchy of sugar-planters. This was exacerbated by D. Joao V's failure to deliniate the boundaries of Recife, leaving it for the governor and the ouvidor (crown judge) to settle the boundaries between them. De Castro e Caldas awarded three parishes to Recife over the protests of the ouvidor and the town council and arrested the deputation that made the protests. This high-handed act triggered almost half a decade of unrest between partisans of each side, to include sporadic armed conflict between the garrison of Recife and the Olinda milita.Actions

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 where 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 power in the centuries to come.Actions

After a century of contention over the limits between Brazil and Rio de La Plata exacerbated by the Colônia del Sacramento that was conquered and returned three times by Spain, and in the midst of a Spanish offensive that constituted a serious menace over the recently settled San Pedro do Sul area, the removal of the Marquis of Pombal by Queen María allowed a peaceful settlement over the disputed borders with her uncle Carlos III of Spain. At the Treaty of San Ildefonso on October 1, 1777, confirmed in the Treaty of El Pardo in 1778, Portugal ceded Colônia del Sacramento to Spain, but retained Santa Catalina and San Pedro, adquiring rights beyond Tordesillas limits in exchange for the African island of Fernando Po (now Bioko) and full commercial rights in the African coast between the Niger and the Ogoue rivers. Furthermore, for the first time since the independence of Portugal, relations between the Iberians became excellent until Napoleon interfered.Actions

Humiliated by the ease with which the French and Spanish had defeated the army in 1801 the Prince-Regent João, later João VI, decided to reform the army. He established a military council to propose reforms although political difficulties delayed the reorganization until 1806. It divided up the country into three divisions, Northern, Central and Southern. Every unit was assigned to one of these divisions. The size of the Regular Army remained the same, but militia regiments were increased to 48 from 43 and the Ordenança companies were organized into 24 brigades. The Ordenança brigades acted as a recruiting depot and reserve for a regiment of the line and two militia regiments. Enlisted men released after their service with a regular infantry or militia unit were obligated to serve another eight years in their Ordenança brigade. These reforms had only been partially implemented when the French invaded in 1807, but they were fully implemented by 1812.Actions

Outnumbered, the battle was a disaster for the forces of Sebastião and al-Mutawakkil. Both leaders were killed and Sebastião's body was never recovered. With his death, Portuguese forces were routed and many nobles were captured. Control of the Portuguese Kingdom went to Sebastião's uncle, Henrique, who focused on paying ransoms for the captured nobles.

Action A of 3163 - The Portuguese Succession for SpainDescription
In 1580, a regency council convened in Portugal to settle the succession. With the death of Sebastião I, Portugal was left with no clear heir. In 1580, several people had claims to the throne: Filipe II of Spain, son of D. Isabel (daugther of D. Manuel I) who had a large support of the nobles but lacked peasant support, D. Antonio, despised by the nobles because he was an illegitimate son of D. Luis (son of D. Manuel I) but had great support from the lower classes, and finally, D. Catarina, the Duchess of Bragança. She was the legitimate daughter of D. Duarte (son of D. Manuel I). Duchess Catarina Bragança had the best claim to the throne but the nobles were unwilling to overlook her gender. Dismissing her claims left the nobles to either appeal to a foreign power, the claims of Filipe II of Spain, or accept Dom Antonio, illegitimate son of D. Luis. Filipe II sent diplomats to Lisbon to convince the aristocracy that he was the ideal heir for Portugal. If the Kingdom entered into a personal union with Spain, Filipe II would allow Portugal to keep its own laws and Cortes. Such a union would also be highly profitable at a time when the Portuguese economy was failing as no longer would the Spanish Kingdom fight against its trading interests. Lacking a suitable alternative, the nobles joined forces with the Spanish.Actions

However when the fleet became pinned against the coast by the north-east monsoon it became imperative that the fleet find a better harbor to winter over until the monsoon ended. He sailed for Mombasa where he was allowed to anchor, but he was insulted by the restrictions placed on him by the Sultan of Mombasa. He resolved to avenge this insult and the Sheik of Malindi, happy to see injury done to his rival, offered troops. Nuno da Cunha, appreciative of his support, offered the rulership of Mombasa to a relative of the Sheik, but he was turned down when the Portuguese proved to be too few in numbers to garrison the town.Actions

In 1487 Joao II of Portugal ordered Bartolomeu Dias around Africa by sea, but he also ordered his trusted spymaster and diplomat, Pêro da Covilhã, to reach India and the Kingdom of Prester John by land. Pêro da Covilhã spoke fluent arabic, and with a companion travelled to Mecca. From there he travelled alone to Goa and Calicut, learning about currents, winds and the origen of the different spices. He then returned to Cairo. From there he forwarded his information together with advise on the best sea-route to India to his King, before continuing to Aden, Ormuz, and Saylac, in the coast of Adal. He finally arrived to Ethiopia in 1490, being well received by Emperor Eskander. After four years of stay, he was preparing his departure, with a proposal of an alliance from the Emperor of Ethiopia to the King of Portugal, when Eskander died. He was succeded by his brother Na'od, who forbade Pêro's departure. Around 1510, King Manuel received an ambassador from Ethiopia, an Armenian called Matthew. In the name of Empress Eleni, he proposed an alliance between Ethiopia and Portugal. It would be 10 years before Portuguese ambassadors went to Ethiopia with a positive answer. By then things had changed and the new Emperor showed no interest. However this time Emperor Dawit II, better known as Lebna Dengel, might be having problems with their Muslim neighbours, as he is requesting to enter vassalage to the King of Portugal.

Action A of 165016 - War of extermination for EthiopiaDescription
The medieval legend of the Kingdom of Prester John, a mythical Kingdom that kept the Muslims at bay, was popular when Islam seemed unstoppable. According to legend, Prester John could help Europe fend off the Muslim assaults. Although the myth had no basis, it seemed to fit Ethiopia better than any other place. Except that when re-discovered by Europe, Ethiopia was backwards and beleaguered, more in need of help than capable of lending it. Around 1510, King Manuel received an ambassador from Ethiopia, an Armenian called Matthew. In the name of Empress Eleni, he proposed an alliance between Ethiopia and Portugal. It would be 10 years before Portuguese ambassadors went to Ethiopia with a positive answer. By then things had changed and the new Emperor showed no interest. However in 1535 facing a war of extermination by Adal, the same Ethiopian Emperor sent a plee to the Pope and the King of Portugal by way of Juan Bermudez, a Portuguese priest that had remained in Ethiopia. Bermudez claimed that the Emperor had promised to turn his country into Catholicism if help was forwarded, and requested to be named archbishop of the new Ethiopian Catholic Church. This has been a controversial issue since, but Bermudez's description of the horrors inflicted on the Christian Ethiopians, the destruction of their churches, and the killing of their priests and nuns, plus the desire to control the entrance to the Red Sea, moved King João III 'o Piedoso' (the Pius) to order the new Viceroy of India, Estevão da Gama, to send military aid to Ethiopia. He sent his own brother Cristovão in command of a small but well-equipped army.Actions

The claim to the Canary Islands was disputed for a very long time. Portugal argued that they were closer to their coasts, while Castile argued that they belonged to the diocese of Tingitania (Morocco) and were therefore part of the Visigothic Kingdom to which they were entitled, and both monarchs contested the decision of Pope Clement VI to give the islands to Luis de la Cerda, a Spanish nobleman, in 1344. But their hostile natives prevented any settlement, and nothing was done until French noblemen Jean de Bethencourt disembarks in Lanzarote in 1402. Being succesful in the conquest of the island, he travelled the next year to Castile, and obtained from Enrique III the concession for the conquest of the islands in his name. He managed to conquer another three islands. But the three bigger islands could not be conquered, as resistance from the natives, of pre-islamic Berber origen, was strong. With the African explorations of Don Henrique, the Canary islands constituted a convenient base, and Henrique sent two expeditions, in 1424 and 1427, that failed due to native resistance and lack of supplies. When Duarte became King in 1433, he activated his diplomacy, and was granted by Pope Eugenius IV, the right to Christianize the islands that remained pagan, given the success of Portugal against the North African Muslims.Actions

Description
When Juan II of Castile found out that the Pope had given Duarte of Portugal the right to conquer some of the Canary islands, he sent his best ambassador, Alonso de Cartagena, to try to revert the decision. Curiously, the main argument used by Alonso was not that those islands were part of a group already half conquered by Castile, but that the right of Castile to the islands had the same basis that the right the monarchs of Castile had over their Kingdom, that they inherited from the Visigoth Kings, and these from the Roman Emperors. The argument must have been a good one, because Eugenius IV, knee deep in his problems with the Council of Basel, reversed his previous decision and published a bull in 1436 recognizing the rights of Castile to all the islands and exhorting Portugal to not enter a war with Castile over them. There would still be a couple of failed attempts at their conquest by the Portuguese in 1448 and 1455, but with the finding of better islands in the coast of Africa to act as bases, the interest for the Canary islands decayed. Meanwhile the Castilians were advancing all the time in their settlement, and finally between 1477 and 1496 the Catholic King's armies fully conquered the remaining islands.Actions

Action A of 285227 - Duke of Bragança claims Kingdom of Portugal for SpainDescription
By the 1640s, the nobility of Portugal were more than just annoyed with their Spanish captivity. None of the supposed benefits of the union with Spain had come to pass. Despite Filipe I's assurances that Spain would respect the Portuguese constitution and its customes, by the time of Filipe III, taxes were imposed and most all key posts in the government were held by Castilians. Portugal's colonial possessions were also under attack with Spain's enemies, the English and the Dutch. Frustrated by a union that had out lived its usefulness, a group of conspirators began to meet regularly and chose the Duke of Bragança to be their future sovereign. Although a mild-mannered man, the conspiring nobles chose the duke as he had the best claim to throne. Additionally, his confidence was bolstered by his wife, the scheming Luisa de Guzman, daughter of the Spanish Duke of Medina Sidonia. Having orchestrated their rebellion perfectly, the nobles quickly took the palace and the people of Lisbon took control of the city. News of the succesful revolt rapidly spread and one by one the Portuguese defeated the Spanish garrisons. On December 15th of 1640, the Duke and Duchess of Bragança were crowned King and Queen of Portugal.Actions

After the signing of the second treaty of San Ildefonso, France started to pressure Spain to collaborate in an invasion of Portugal to dislodge her from her alliance with England. Carlos IV was the father-in-law of Joao VI, prince of Brazil and regent of Portugal, and did not desire a conflict, but French pressure was too strong. Joao could not accept Napoléon's demands of ceding a quarter of his territory to Spain as a guarantee, and so the war became inevitable. On May 20, 1801, Godoy invaded Portugal from three points, and in nine days completely defeated the Portuguese army, before the French army sent to participate in the campaign could cross Spain. Godoy sent a branch of an orange tree from the moat of Elvas to his Queen and lover, and hence the name of the war. But Carlos IV had no intention of leaving Portugal in the hands of Napoléon, and against his instructions, signed the treaty of Badajoz with Joao. It was a very favorable treaty for Portugal, who had to pay indemnities to France, close her ports to British ships, cede a small part of the Guiana to France, and the small town of Olivenza to Spain. The treaty was signed on the 8th of June, but dated on the 6th, so Carlos could ignore Napoléon's instructions received on the 7th. Napoléon was furious and did not ratify the treaty until the 29th of September.Actions
