Did you know modern-day Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is the first European city built with seismic safety in mind?
And there is a very good reason for that! In 1755, Portugal was hit by an earthquake that would measure nine on the future Richter scale.
Portugal, which is located in the Iberian Peninsula, has a rich history that dates to prehistoric times. The first settlers left amazing art behind in the form of rock carvings and rock monoliths. These first peoples never left their country, but were integrated into the many societies that came to Portugal over time.
Even though Portugal is probably best known for exploring the world during the Age of Discovery, the history of mainland Portugal is rarely described outside of the country. The purpose of this audiobook is to familiarize English speakers with the events and personas that built the Portuguese kingdom, its overseas empire, and the state that Portugal is today.
In this audiobook, you will learn:
- Who were the first people that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula?
- What was the early culture and religion of the peninsula?
- Which civilization first discovered the shores of Portugal?
- How did trade with the Phoenicians develop the culture of the indigenous people?
- How did the Carthaginian and Roman wars shape the Iberian Peninsula?
- Why did the Germanic tribes invade the peninsula?
- Did the Iberian Peninsula thrive under Islamic rule?
- Why did the Christian kings of the north launch the Iberian Reconquista?
- How did Afonso I form the medieval Kingdom of Portugal?
- How did the House of Avis rise to power and start the golden age of Portugal?
- Why has Portugal always struggled to preserve its independence?
- How did the empire end, and how did Portugal become a republic?
