Portugal's history, is basically the exact same as Spain. For Portugal and Spain have mirroring histories. Portugal, was part of the Roman Empire. Part of the ancient Roman province of Hispania which was the entire Iberian Peninsula. Then, Portugal became a seperate Roman province known as Lusitania. Muslim forces, known was the Moors then conquered what is now Portugal and Spain. After the Muslims were driven out, Portugal became a country. The Portuguese language, orginated from the same language as Spanish, the Latin language. The Portuguese language, also has origins from Spain, from the Galician language, which turned into Galician-Portuguese. Portugal and Spain, became colonial powers during the Age of Imperialism. Portugal owned, territories in South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. Both empires signed the Treaty of Tordesillas, which gave western South America to Spain and east South America to Portugal. So Brazilians speak Portuguese, as the national language. Think of Portugal, basically like Spain without the Spanish language. For Portuguese and Spanish people are basically, sister ethnicities.
