Sorry, is Portugal still a country? I just figured Spain invaded them in the 1800s and no one in Europe bothered to stop them. Or even announce that it happened.

Actually, "Spain" never successfully invaded Portugal. One of their kings had to marry one of our princesses for them to achieve dominance in the 1600s, and still... we bothered (specially about his offspring). In the 1800s, it was the French that invaded us (and Spain), and still, we (and Britain) bothered.

Our borders are pretty much 750 years old, when they were settled through... you guessed it, another (very shoddy) royal marriage - this time around, portuguese king with spanish princess (he was already married, but what the hell).

Now, there is an ongoing border dispute over 750km2 of land since the 1800s, but I doubt you even knew that.


Actually, I did know that.

And it was a joke. I think most of us know that Spain hasn't invaded Portugal. :p
