The land within the borders of the current Portuguese Republic has been continuously settled since
prehistoric times. In the 8th century
most of the Iberian Peninsula was conquered by
Moorish invaders professing Islam, which were later expelled by the
Knights Templar. During the Christian
Reconquista, Portugal established itself as an independent kingdom from
León in 1139, claiming to be the oldest European
nation-state.
[9] In the 15th and 16th centuries, as the result of pioneering the
Age of Discovery, Portugal expanded
western influence and established the first
global empire,
[10] becoming one of the world's major economic, political and military
powers. In addition, the
Portuguese Empire was the longest-lived of the modern European colonial empires, spanning almost 600 years, from the capture of
Ceuta in 1415 to the handover of
Macau in 1999 or the grant of sovereignty to
East Timor in 2002. The empire spread throughout a vast number of territories that are now part of 53 different sovereign states. However, the country's international status was greatly reduced during the 19th century, especially following the
Independence of Brazil, its largest colony. After the
1910 revolution deposed the monarchy, the democratic but unstable
Portuguese First Republic was established being then superseded by the
"Estado Novo" authoritarian regime. Democracy was restored after the
Portuguese Colonial War and the
Carnation Revolution in 1974.
As of 2011, the population of Portugal was 10,561,614, of which 547,631 live in
Lisbon, the country's capital and largest city, located in the South, and 237,584 in
Porto, also known as
Oporto, that is the second-largest city, located in the North. The country is a democratic republic with a president (currently
Aníbal Cavaco Silva) and prime minister (currently
Pedro Passos Coelho). Since the 1990s, Portugal's economic development model has been slowly changing from one based on public consumption to one focused on exports, private investment, and development of the high-tech sector. The Portuguese currency is the
euro (€) and the country's economy is in the
Eurozone.
