I count it as the royal marriage meaning that Portugal ceased to exist in 1560, so the first Portuguese Kingdom ran from 1179 to 1560, then resumed being a country in 1640. Just like how the Netherlands stopped being a country when Napoleonic France took it over sometime before 1800, then resumed being a country in 1815.

It's all about sovereignty. Portugal lost it, like other European countries did.

If that was the case, France ceased to exist from 1789 when the monarchy was overthrown and 1792 when a republic was founded.

I am looking into the status of Portugal under spanish occupation. Will get back to you.

Come on, so now a marriage is called an occupation? Now I see why you don't understand Spain as a country, you have some type of inferiority complex.
