Official Name of Portugal: Portuguese Republic

Capital of Portugal: Lisbon
Primary Language in Portugal: Portuguese, Mirandese

Following its heyday as a world power during the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal lost much of its wealth and status with the destruction of Lisbon in a 1755 earthquake, occupation during the Napoleonic Wars, and the independence in 1822 of Brazil as a colony. A 1910 revolution deposed the monarchy; for most of the next six decades, repressive governments ran the country. In 1974, a left-wing military coup installed broad democratic reforms. The following year, Portugal granted independence to all of its African colonies. Portugal entered the EC (now the EU) in 1986. Azores and Madeira Islands occupy strategic locations along western sea approaches to Strait of Gibraltar.
