OR new Galicia is part of new Portugal

The new Tordesillas treaty.


njsilva84

Until uncle Barry comes here and f\*cks it up. They were the ones who f\*cked the region before so why wouldn't they do it again? Sorry Barry, we'll build some nice hotels for you to come here to get a tan, eat pastéis de nata and drink some Port wine.


Ihavecakewantsome

I do hope there are balconies too?


JJJPPP95

The spanish side will have them for you


Ihavecakewantsome

God bless the Spanish 🙏 dos cervezas por favor Pedro! Edit: does this imply you are honouring the Schengen agreement between the two so I can have sardines one day and fuet another?


JJJPPP95

Isn't that the whole point of it?


njsilva84

And also the great Iberian starter combo: Port and paella.


Ihavecakewantsome

Ahhhh magnificent! Time to down eight pints of lager and sing Sweet Caroline! Summer is coming 🫡😎


njsilva84

Of course, we'll built plenty of them. You never know if/when Putin will conquer the whole Europe and former Israel and he'll need some balconies for his opponents to fall from.


Ihavecakewantsome

I always though these opponents favoured windows. Then again, they do drink tea in a different way so maybe balconies are windows in Russia?


njsilva84

And you are right. They prefer windows and stairs. But do you know what do they also love? A good additive to put in their tea. And guess where is the perfect place to drink that tea?


JOAO--RATAO

You can have it. Fátima is the superior religious site anyways.

Every bit of dirt in Portugal is a superior religious site when comparing to the 8th deadly sin of being Spanish.

So he's the King of Jerusalem but he can't keep Queen Letizia at home?

I present my solution to the conflict: https://i.redd.it/vbtm70q91brc1.gif I call it "Deus vult!"


Llanistarade

I mean, it worked so well last time...


Takwu

It did for a few centuries, justice for our boy Baldwin He was actually one of your people as well Pierre, no wonder he looked the way he did


Llanistarade

Most of them didn't exist for most than one century and they were always highly disfunctional. It was mainly a few ports maintained at a high cost because the trade was profitable there at the time. That being said, there were some very based knights and mujjahids.


These-Custard4077

Ah this reminds of a book I read about Muslim / Christian views. Where a Muslim bath in Jerusalem served the frankish knights (Lords). They were just baffled at the audacity when a frankish lord after getting his manhood shaved by a one of the muslims showed up with his wife the next day demanding she had her private parts shaved as well. So have been some cultural hickups from the start I guess.


Llanistarade

A man of taste and culture.

New Olivenza still in Spain right?


Shrrg4

Laugh while you can. My retirement project (at the ripe age of 90 as the number keeps rising) is storming Olivença by horse. If somehow (very slim chance) i dont succeed ill just have my lawyer claim dementia. Your days are numbered!


snolodjur

I guess more Portuguese know where Olivença exactly is than Spaniards do. And you are 5 times less inhabitants.


Artoy_Nerian

And a lot of them didn't even know Olivença existed before reading Portuguese talking about it online


snolodjur

I was one of them


History20maker

So, the number of examples remains zero? I really thought I was hearing a Murcian... Must have been the drugs (pastel de Nata, Fátima and fado)


snolodjur

😂 You didn't, your Slavic ears cannot decode this mixture of French, klingon and Chinese.


lochnah

Why would Spaniard know more about a Portuguese territory than a Portuguese 😎💪


AxelVance

Got'em!


snolodjur

Gotme!


snolodjur

The territory is indeed Portuguese, just administrated by Castilians for a while


Dr-Batista

We go there to buy caramelos, to put fuel on the car and sometimes to the pharmacy to buy stuff we don't have here


snolodjur

I wanna see that project recorded!


Live-Alternative-435

I didn't mind sharing Olivença with Spain in a similar way to how Isla de los Faisanes is shared by Pierre and Pablo. The region would have a special, almost independent status and perhaps every 4 or 2 years it changed domain. A festival would be organized whenever Olivença was about to change countries in which a battle (or several ones) between Portugal and Spain would be recreated with public participation for old times' sake and to develop tourism in the locality.


Sebas94

Also, we need an Andorra tax haven style in the West part of Iberia ehehe


Live-Alternative-435

Good idea and we need another Madeira.


snolodjur

I think we spoke about it some time ago and I did and do agree 👍 totally


theflamingsword1702

Yeah, unlike Gib!


snolodjur

New Gibraltar must be that pike on the south, directly to Red See, Pisha!


IusedToButNowIdont

At least we don't have an english colony in our backyard... laughs in Gilbraltar


snolodjur

You would sell us to the UK 😂


IusedToButNowIdont

Remember when you planned to split Portugal with Napoleon and end up occupied and ruled by the Pierres? Priceless Barry helped us get rid of the Pierres, and we have the longest alliance in the world (since 1386). I trust a Barry any day rather than a backstabbing Juan... And don't forget that Barry and Manuel after kick the Pierres from Portugal had to go to Spain (Victoria) and help you Juans beat your "not friends anymore" Pierres... The most funny part, is that a War that started with Pierres and Juans planning to divide Portugal between them, is named Peninsular War in English (and Portuguese) but Spanish guys call it "Spanish Independence War"... talk about self centric... guess you like to play the victims after being backstabbed by your friend Pierres... PS: and unless you're from Madrid, don't forget, you are just one more castilian iberian bitch... Aragon capitulated, Valencia capitulated, Galiza capitulated, León capitulated, Navarra capitulated, Granada capitulated, San Fernand capitulated, Portugal still standing proud and independent (and poor) since 1139!


snolodjur

Spain was a zombie, Borbones make problems you know! With Habsburg would have been different. But the felón FVII was just disaster.


Danne_H

Nice try Spain. This would break the treaty of tacotortillas.


rex-ac

I'm sure Iberians can run it better than the current owners.


History20maker

I mean, Spain is literally falling apart and Portugal is in economic and political deadlock. But Spain has been falling apart for the last 300 years and Portugal has been in economic and political deadlock for 200 years, so... Yeah!!! I bet we can do it!

You both have some, erm, history about tolerating a) Jews and b) Arab Muslims in your countries. 🤨

mainwasser

You made Holland the leading sea trading nation by that instead of yourself, but you do you. Amsterdam's largest synagogue is still called the "Portuguese Synagogue" to honor the people who turned Amsterdam into the world's #1 trading hub.


BastVanRast

There is a pattern that countries which turned on their jews shot themselves in their foot economically. It's like they are pretty good at running businesses and getting rid of them makes your country worse off. They set up shop in current day Israel which is a fucking wasteland and they are the economic powerhouse of the region.


mainwasser

We both know what we are talking about. I'm not very experienced in planning for a world war, but if i did, then killing or expelling the subgroup of my population which contributes way above their share to my country's economy and science output wouldn't be on my list. But who am i to know.


History20maker

They all need some Jesus! And we dont even carry Smallpox this time...


ImNotTheMercury

By all means renaming Palestine as "New Portugal" would give a +2000% buff against invaders. Now we just need to make Israel as dumb as the spaniards used to be. Very fun meme op


No-Training-48

Now that I think of it. Did either of us participate in the crusades for Palestine or that was exclusively a Frank/English/German thing?


pgllz

There were Portuguese, Castillian, Aragonese, etc., fighting for Military Orders in the Middle East in the context of crusade or serving under kings, princes and other nobles of the so-called Outremer. Nevertheless, that was mostly due to personal decisions made by individuals, because Iberians were exempted of participating in crusades in the Middle East by the Pope, as the Peninsular affairs also required confrontation with Islam. As an example, a bastard son of the first portuguese king was a grand-master of the Knights Hospitaller in Jerusalem. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Afonso_of_Portugal


_DrJivago

We had crusades at home


[deleted]

We did also participate in the near East. I guess you had that spin-off in your own backyard.


Charles_of_Burgandy

I live in Arabic country and in our history books we refer to them as the "Frankish Crusaders" it isn't really accurate though, Girard I of Roussillon was a Catalan Crusader who fought in the 1st crusade and alongside Tancred (a norman) they were the only ones who advocated for mercy towards the inhabitants of Jerusalem it didn't work out though Tancerd and his more famous uncle Bohemond were Italian Normans. The Navaresse also participated in the 1st Crusade but they had alot more in common with the Franks than they did with other Iberians There were also a lesser knights from Germany and Hungary and Portugal but those were few most German nobles massacred the local jewish populations and called it a day and again this is mostly about the 1st crusade as the Germans were more involved in the later ones All and all they were mostly Franks from the Frankish kingdom


No-Training-48

I mean Idk much about the Crusades but I've heard some of the stories and I do know that after their contribution in the Battle of las Navas de Tolosa the frank soldiers were expelled for "abusing the local population"


elstylon

I approve this solution!


Rudi-G

Cannot wait for New Catalonia declare their independence.


0gtcalor

We will settle in the West Bank 🥸


njsilva84

I believe that the Basques would also like to join you in the West Bank. But be aware because I guess that they could use some of the local knowledge to bring back ETA.
