Why is "Anglo-Portuguese """Alliance"""" is celebrated so much as longest alliance in history, while in reality, Anglos tried to diminish Portuguese influence and occasionally actually even threatened with military intervention?

THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FASOICH
Jacob Hughes
it's because this meme helps English to got at least one ally in continental Europe when it helps Portugueses to reduce their feeling of inferiority by standing near a great power
Lucas Sanchez
Saqartvelo is not irrelevant, you fucking sack of fat
Christopher Johnson
While in reality.::
..it's really the oldest alliance in human history.
And yes we had our feuds, way before than that xix century. (image related).
Still it was based and good for both sides.
Jace Williams
i fell tho your inferiority complex on that line bre.. funny how you project it to us, for no reason.
Jordan Hernandez
It's the only explanation I think about you guys still being licking the English asses, like 150 years from now.
It's not like you had even still today any affinity culturally or economically with England, it's just an old souvenir. You are mostly a part of the European Union, like us, today.
Ayden Jackson
We militarily supported Portugal multiple times, liberated them during the peninsular war, we also economically and politically supported Portugal after the ultimatum.
Juan Rodriguez
true, my favorite longest alliance meme is when the USA and UK had a literal plan B invasion all planned out if Portugal, a neutral country in ww2, didn't gave them permission to settle bases in our islands
That and all the USA and UK backed rebels in our colonies, goes to show how much these countries that we practically lick their asses clean, care about us
Nathaniel Gray
How do we lick anything? you are projecting what you feel towards others. It's quite embarrassing.
Do you realize that brits gave much, but much more blood for Portugal than the other way around don´t you?
Nicholas Allen
England sent English archers to help the newfound Portuguese kingdom fend itself against the Castilian invasion with French, Calvary, in the battle of Aljubarrota. So, if it wasn't for this little help, Portugal might not have existed. Also, later on, the English helped Portugal moving their court to Brazil and save the royals from being beheaded by Napoleon and the revolutionaries.
Daniel Phillips
wtf but Portugal is greatest and safest country in the world. why are you lying to me?
Jayden Lee
>you are projecting
Apprently you like this expression, I'm not projecting any sentiments though, just making assumptions. this is different.
Gabriel Cruz
> if it wasn't for this little help, Portugal might not have existed
OH NO NO NO NO NO
Connor Reed
>portuguese
>europeans
Luke Richardson
Shut up you aren't a tenth of what you were before you've decided to behead your king and bring to light the two cancers of the modern world. Now you're heading full throttle towards Islam and general niggerization. We'd be better of if France never existed at all.
Kevin Bell
to be fair, this pic is absolutely not representative of the average Portuguese
Eli Sanders
You know very well then..on how many wars we had with eachother. France-Portugal-Spain-England.
It was centuries and centuries of it all around the world. Our country is invaded, how don´t you expect us to make alliances to defend our population?
Ayden Mitchell
>bring to light the two cancers of the modern world
Can you explain what you're speaking about?
It's interesting actually
Justin Jones
4 non-natives there
deco, bosinwga, bruno alves
Blake Howard
It was fucking centuries ago. Can't you guys project yourself in the future?
Ayden Rodriguez
Ironically the only ally France has in Europe is the UK lol. Everyone else is indifferent or a historical enemy.
Easton Ramirez
in reality they are even darker?
Adam Rivera
To a point that data, shows we are even ligher than you on average, on areas not exposed to the sun, no way. img
Henry White
go back in the EU with us then
Austin Hughes
It's better to not project France into the future then. if you know what i mean. You guys will be the fiest country in western europe where the natives will become a minority. We will fall you guys later
Ryan Davis
I don't think so. They're still pretty butthurt of the 100yrs wars and Joan d'Arc assassination. I've seen a Frenchman complaning to a Englishman that the English have caused great suffering to the French.
Chase Reyes
Too many Germs. Stinks in there.
Luis Ortiz
>if you know what i mean
not really, but I'm open for any explanation.
Also, why are you so hateful, did a French boy stole your gf or something?
Sebastian Mitchell
How am i hatefull? i like the french and i like almost all europe
Grayson Garcia
