“taking the colonisers out” and then its a country that invaded and occupied the iberian peninsula and a few other southern european countries for well over 700 years

#i rock with morocco let me take the opportunity to talk about history i love history #the iberian peninsula was actually called al-ándalus during that time period #portugal specifically was “gharb al-ándalus” #literally many of our words and place’s names especially in the south have arabic origins #many words starting with al- for example #also ​the word olá comes from wa Allah ! the more you know. i think its very interesting #and oxalá comes from in sha’Allah which i hope im writing correctly #one of the most crucial periods of our history is the reconquista #during which the portuguese took back most of the territory that currently makes up the country #also don’t get me wrong i was very much rooting for morocco when they played against spain. #one thing abt me is i will always pray on spain’s downfall #…who also invaded us from god knows how long #for* #we were under spanish rule for uhhhh 80 or 90 years if im not mistaken #we literally just had a national holiday that is the day of independence (from spain)💀 1st of december #don’t take any of this as hateful im just talking about an interesting period in portuguese history here #wc aside 😭😭😭 #the only countries that i actively hate on are the us france and spain honestly #(we were also invaded by france fun fact. 3 times.)
