Ooooopps ! Brazil was a colony of Portugal, not Spain.
Yes in part, some areas were conquered. It depends when you are talking about. like in 1580 Portugal was conquered by spain.
It wasnt important for Spain because Spain didnt exist yet. Portugal got its independence from León and Castille, NOT SPAIN !!!! Spain is way younger than Portugal (Portugal 1143 , Spain 1469).
Portugal is west of Spain, between Spain and the Atlantic Ocean.
Adolf Hitler did not invade Portugal during World War 2 because Spain stood in the way. In order to invade Portugal, Hitler would have needed to go through Spain. Spain would not allow that. Spain had far more to lose than to gain by entering the war. Spain had colonies in Africa that the Allied powers could conquer and Spain had very little to gain by entering the war. Both Portugal and Spain stayed out of the war. Spain helped Hitler and Portugal helped England as much as possible without actually participating in the fighting.
They never did.
