Historical framing of Portugal
When about 1249 Portugal ended the "reconquest" of the territory, referring to the conquest for south, of the space that today is Portugal, it began a process of consolidation, administration of the country. The remaining kingdoms Christian of the Iberian Peninsula were still fighting to south against the Moors (up to 1492), showing however, principally Castela, will of taking care of the administration of the territory of Portugal.
In this period of time
the Portuguese language (1290) was created, when Christ's Order
(1319, in substitution of the Order of the Templar), creation of the
University in Coimbra (1290), signed commercial treaties with
England was established. The Portuguese navy was organized, when the
genovese employed Manuel Pessanha doing. In 1383 it appeared a critical
period, being in question to independence of the country. After great
military victories in 1385, John I organized the country of significant
form.
Again when the independence, Portugal was consolidated (always
pressed to East by Spain) turned to the ocean.
Portugal can consider the 1st Big Intercontinental
Empire, broadcast and administered at sea.. This small country, it
dominated in the century XV the whole African western coast and Atlantic
islands (very probably also lands the west of the Azores). In the
century XVI took the power of the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean (even
to the sea of China and Japan).
