Evidence (2021-12-09): Map of all territories of the Portuguese Empire (1419-1999) [...] Like another kingdom of the Iberian Peninsula, the decline of the Moores allowed Portugal to make territorial gains during her first few centuries; Portugal started as a country, paying tribute to Leon, but gained complete independence in 1139. After the liberation of the Algarves in 1249, Portugal turned to the Barbary and Gold Coasts in Western Africa, trying to benefit from trade. This led to the first modem European colonial empire and spread farther afield to Brazil, Eastern Africa, Ceylon, and finally Japan. A slow decline of Portuguese power to the benefit of the Dutch caused Portugal to start to lose colonies in the East. Despite this, the Netherlands could not hold onto any Portuguese colonies in the Americas, and finally, Portugal focused most investment there. Political turbulence in the late 1500s resulted in Portugal entering a personal union under Spain, ending the Kingdom’s independence. [...] In the 19th century, At the height of European colonialism, Portugal lost its territory in South America and several bases in Asia.

Evidence (2024-04-12): Portugal’s overseas territories have played a significant role in shaping the country’s history and cultural identity. From the early 15th century, Portugal embarked on a period of maritime exploration and colonial expansion, leaving a lasting legacy across the globe.

Evidence (2023-07-07): As the Guadiana River makes its way toward the Gulf of Cádiz, it twice marks the boundary between Spain and Portugal. The first is between Ribeira de Cuncos and River Cala, and the second is between River Chança till the Guadiana River’s mouth.

Evidence (2022-05-14): About 700 m further is the Ribera de Táliga River, whose waters sustained the livelihood of several families working at the local mills. Concrete stepping-stones cross the stream. As the sign indicates, caution should be exercised at this point. One can see up close the rich riparian vegetation on the banks of these calm waters, which bring great ecological value to this small stream. [...] One may come upon a few free-roaming cattle grazing in these forests impacted by human activity; therefore, one must make sure that gates and fences are properly closed. After crossing several gates, and past a few entrances to private farmsteads, one can see to the right an old well next to Siete Fuentes Creek, whose seasonal waters feed the Táliga.

Evidence (2024-09-09): Well, the Treaty of Zamora established a border of a thousand and a quarter kilometers that, with slight situational variations, remained more or less stable over the centuries. The cases of the aforementioned Olivenza (occupied by Spain in 1801 during the War of the Oranges), Táliga (a parish of the former that also remained in Spanish hands), and the Coto Mixto (a territory formed by the villages of Rubiás, Meaus, Santiago, and Montealegre) were exceptions. With these exceptions (not all, because the Coto Mixto would be abolished), the final borders were agreed upon in the Treaty of Lisbon of 1864, negotiated by the delegates of Queen Isabella II of Spain and King Luís I of Portugal, coming into effect in 1868. However, in 1926, the Border Agreement was signed in Lisbon, granting the inhabitants of the border areas the same benefits as those of the other territories specified in the previous treaty. [...] In the Portuguese administration, it is the freguesia (part of a concelho or municipality, in this case, that of Bragança) of Rio de Onor, named after the river that runs through it (Fontano in Spanish). The truth is that this is its real name, the historical one, and, in fact, it appears in Spanish censuses as Rionor; both the interspersed "h" and the "de Castilla" complement were added in the Franco era to Castilianize it.

Evidence (2024-09-08): Oliventine Portuguese[1] (also known as Portuguese from Olivença)[2] is the dialectal variety of the Portuguese language natively spoken in the disputed municipalities of Olivença and Táliga, in Extremadura (Spain). Currently, the Portuguese of Olivença and Táliga is not recognized by Spain, which has administered this territory since the War of the Oranges in 1801. Portugal, however, does not recognize Spanish sovereignty over the region and claims it as its own.[3][4] [...] Olivença and Táliga in the Kingdom of Portugal [edit]During the Reconquista, the lands that today form the territories of Olivença and Táliga were ceded to Portugal by the Treaty of Alcañices, in 1297, along with many other localities. King Denis had taken advantage of the weak Castilian political position to annex and retake several territories.[10] [...] Olivença and Táliga in Spain [edit]After the War of the Oranges, Portugal lost Olivença and Táliga. Although Portugal claims that Spain lost them at the Congress of Vienna, Spain continues to administer the territory. Portuguese remained the vehicular and mother tongue of the region's inhabitants until the middle of the 20th century, when it began to wane, a victim of the Hispanicization policies of Francoism and the educational system, since the latter did not teach Portuguese. Currently, the language is taught but only as a foreign language.[12]
