One can find the Portuguese language and cultural influence across the globe, including in North and South America, Africa, India, and Asia. But how did this relatively tiny European country manage this feat? And what drove the Portuguese explorers to take the enormous risks to achieve it? Those are just some of the question we explore during our trip from the north to the south of the country.  Portugal is also an excellent case study of the developments in Europe in the early 20th century, when most countries politically took either a hard right, or a hard left. Portugal was in the former camp, and the move would define life in Portugal for the next several decades. The period under Antonio Salazar saw impressive economic and social development, but at the price of personal freedoms and liberty. Shortly after his death, the calls for change became ever louder, culminating in the Carnation Revolution of 1974. This largely peaceful overthrow of the regime set the stage for Portugal’s re-integration into Europe, and its separation from its remaining colonies.  In addition to being one of the first European colonial empires, Portugal was also one of the last to give in to the pressures of de-colonization. Brazil had gone its own way in the late 19th century, but Angola and Mozambique remained under Portuguese control into the 1970’s.  Macau reverted to China at the end of 1999, while other former colonies (East Timor, Cape Verde, Goa) either gained independence or were absorbed into other nations. The legacy of the Portuguese Empire continues into the 21st century.  Experience the life of an explorer with Living Law® in the Iberian peninsula, and beyond!
