Portugal (Portuguese: [puɾtuˈɣaɫ]), officially the Portuguese Republic (Portuguese: República Portuguesa), is a country on the Iberian Peninsula, in southwestern Europe. It is the westernmost country of mainland Europe, being bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south and by Spain to the north and east. The Portugal–Spain border is 1,214 km (754 mi) long and considered the longest uninterrupted border within the European Union. The republic also includes the Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira, both autonomous regions with their own regional governments.
The land within the borders of current Portugal has been continuously settled and fought over since prehistoric times. The Celts and the Romans were followed by the Visigothic and the Suebi Germanic peoples, who were themselves later invaded by the Moors. These Muslim peoples were eventually expelled during the Christian Reconquista of the peninsula. By 1139, Portugal had established itself as a kingdom independent from León. In the 15th and 16th centuries, as the result of pioneering the Age of Discovery, Portugal expanded Western influence and established the first global empire, becoming one of the world's major economic, political and military powers.

Pepe after Portugal defeat: "They should just give Argentina the world cup title"
Portugal is considered by many historians to be the first world superpower. But this raises the question, how did such a small country with a tiny population become so powerful in the 15th century? Well, there’s not a straight answer to this question but there are a group of factors that greatly contributed to it: -First there was the location, which it being located in the south of Europe near to the exit of the Mediterranean provided a good food supply and helped to develop of an unrivalled knowledge of Atlantic winds, weather and tides. - Secondly there was Portugal’s ability to absorb “new Christians”. What do I mean by this, well, as Jewish merchants and scholars were driven out of Spain after the “Reconquista” they brought with them not only knowledge but just plain man power and wit...
