"The Portuguese Empire was the first Global Empire in world history and was and by some could still be considered one of the longest running and most dynamic colonial empire in history. The Empire Began with using new developments in naval and navigational technology to secure a long string of trading posts. These trading posts strung along from Lisbon to Nagasaki. Almost by a string of Luck the nation of Portugal discovered Brazil and began to establish more than trading posts and established true colonies in Brazil intermarrying, establishing cities, reaping beneficial resources back to the mother country. The empire continued to prosper for quite a long time establishing a monopoly on resources from the Americas and monopoly on trade from Asia which eventually led to the massive influx of Riches to these mother countries establishing their dominance in colonial politics until the French, Dutch, and British managed to wrestle control of Indian and Asian trade routes ending the Monopoly and beginning Portugal's steady decline over a period of over 100 years. Following the Separately administered empires of the Iberian Union and the loss of the asian trade routes, the Portuguese Empire maintained itself for decades until the wave of revolutions began sweeping the Americas. In this instance Portugal lost Brazil in a short and relatively small revolution in which the empire maintained only a few of its remaining overseas colonies. Portugal following the loss of Brazil entered into a constant state of stagnation and decline which only ended near the tail end of the 19th century."@en . "Capital"@en . "1910-10-05"^^ .
