History of the White Race : Chapter 22

Because of the close proximity to Spain, the development of Portugal mirrors its larger Iberian neighbor in virtually all respects except one - it absorbed a far larger number of Black slaves during its slave trading era, and is therefore as a nation substantially more miscegenated than the vast majority of Spaniards, even those who themselves are of obvious mixed heritage.

The first inhabitants of Portugal were the Old Europeans, who in turn were overrun by successive waves of the same peoples who occupied Spain - the mixed Old European/Indo-European Carthaginians - the original Romans - then the Indo-European Alans, Vandals and Visigoths, all of whom left their genetic imprint on the population.

Portugal was occupied along with Spain by the Romans during the 2nd Century BC and incorporated into the province of Lusitania. Roman rule was uninterrupted for over 500 years, during which time the country advanced thanks to the importation of Roman technological and organizational skills, like all of the Roman Empire at that stage. The collapse of the Western Roman Empire saw the Visigoths establish their kingdom in Iberia, with the region known as Portugal forming a part of the Visigothic state.

The Nonwhite Muslim invasion of 711 AD, saw a large part of southern Portugal falling under Moorish rule for several centuries. The liberation of Portugal during the mid 15th Century by the rejuvenated Gothic king and queen, Ferdinand and Isabella, saw the region re-organized into a feudal country composed of Spanish fiefs. Portugal derived its name from one of these fiefs, the Comitatus Portaculenis, which was based around the Roman established port of Portus Cale (known today as Oporto).

In 1139 AD, a leading Portuguese nobleman, Alfonso Henriques, declared Portugal independent from the Spanish royalty and took the title Alfonso I, with his descendants finally expelling the last of the Muslim Moors from Portuguese territory by 1279 - some 160 years before they were thrown out of Spain itself.

In 1497, the Portuguese King, Emanuel, mirrored the Spanish example and expelled Non-Christian Jews and all Christianized Moors. A law was also introduced which forbid persons of mixed race from holding public office - the law had as its formal title the "Purity of Blood Law".

In addition to this, similar restrictions were placed on what was called "New Christians" - Jews who had converted to Christianity to avoid persecution by the Inquisition, which also reached into Portugal.

Independent and vigorous, the largely Gothic Portuguese then led the way in the exploration of the rest of the world. Portuguese enthusiasm for exploration was exemplified by Henry the Navigator who became famous for promoting voyages in a new type of ship specially designed for sailing the wide oceans - the caravel.

With these caravelles, the Portuguese explored the world - in 1418, they discovered the island of Madeira and the Azores were first sighted in 1427.

A successful Portuguese military campaign in Morocco resulted in the capture of Ceuta, which was followed up by the capture of Tangiers by 1438. By 1444, the Portuguese had sailed to Cape Verde and by 1460, they had reached Sierra Leone. In 1482, a Portuguese settlement was made in present-day Ghana.

A Caravelle, or sea going ship in the time of Vasco da Gama. The Caravelle was so perfectly designed for long haul ocean voyages that this gave the Portuguese of the time a huge advantage over other White seafaring nations in their ability to explore the new world. The Caravelle also however enabled the Portuguese to import massive numbers of Black slaves into Portugal itself - an act which was to cost that country dearly and permanently.

The Portuguese explorer, Bartholomew Diaz, became the first White to sail round the southern tip of Africa in 1488. Ten years later, in 1498, the Portuguese explorer, Vasco da Gama, became the first White to sail round Africa to India, opening the sea trade route to India.

In 1510, the Portuguese occupied Goa in India - in 1511, Malacca in Malaysia , the Moluccas in 1514 and Hormuz Island in the Persian Gulf in 1515.

As a consequence of these and other dramatic discoveries, Portugal built up a huge colonial empire, stretching from South America to Africa and Asia.

As a direct result of her massive colonial empire, Portugal was, by the middle of the 16th Century, one of the wealthiest and most powerful countries in Europe. However, within a matter of 100 years, this once mighty nation virtually disappeared off the world stage.

As with all changes in the fortunes of nations, this dramatic decline was linked directly to a shift in the population make-up of Portugal.

Like Spain, but unlike the other European colonial powers, Portuguese colonial policy was built on two legs. Firstly, no attempt was made to populate her colonies with masses of her own people.

Instead, bands of lone male explorers were sent out to exploit the colonies for the financial gain of Portugal, and the lack of families or Portuguese women led directly to the creation of a massive number of mixed race populations in the Portuguese colonies, one of the best examples being Brazil.

Secondly, Portugal imported masses of Black slaves into its own territory, starting in 1441, when the first ship full of Black slaves arrived in Lisbon. Black slaves continued to be imported in such large numbers that by 1550, they officially made up ten percent of the population of Portugal.

In the 15th century, a huge number of Black slaves were imported into Portugal, later to be completely absorbed into mainstream Portuguese society. in this 15th century Portuguese painting, a Black domestic servant is shown serving supper to a White Portuguese family.

There were no social restrictions on the Black population, and intermarriage was as frequent as not.

Over the passage of time, the entire Black population was completely absorbed into the Portuguese population, to the point where by the start of the 20th Century, there were no full blooded Blacks left in Portugal at all.

While not every Portuguese person today is a product of this absorption process, it is true to say that a very large number of Portuguese today are in fact of mixed racial descent, with a small amount of Moorish blood, dating from that Nonwhite race's occupation of the Iberian peninsula, thrown in for good measure.

The absorption of the ten percent Black population into the Portuguese population also identically mirrors the disappearance of Portugal as a world power. The Portuguese of the age of discoveries and those of today are essentially two different peoples. The effects of the absorption of the Black slaves has retarded Portugal's history ever since. Today that country has long been acknowledged as the most backward country in Europe with an illiteracy rate of over 30 per cent.

The rapid decline of Portugal following the intake of the vast numbers of Black slaves mirrors her decline.

In 1580, Spain annexed Portugal after the Portuguese king died heirless, and only regained its independence in 1680 once Spain itself had also gone into decline for precisely the same reasons - although the admixture of Black slaves into Spain was never as far reaching as it was in Portugal.

After 1600, Portuguese domination of trade with the East Indies was lost to the Dutch and the English.

Partly in response to objections from the mixed race element in society, and partly in response to the reality that many Portuguese citizens were already of mixed racial heritage, the Purity of Blood Law was repealed in 1773, the same year that slavery was abolished in Portugal itself, and the restrictions on the "New Christians" (the Jews) in that country, were lifted.

In 1807, when Napoleon Bonaparte of France threatened Portugal, the royal family transferred the government to Brazil, returning only in 1820 after Napoleon's final defeat.

Thereafter Portugal went into a long period of social, political and economic chaos, with a king being assassinated in 1908 and a republic being declared. Portugal became embroiled in the First World War on the side of the Allies, rumbling through intermittent periods of disturbance until the republic was overthrown in a military coup in 1926.

Again maintaining its neutrality during the Second World War, the military dictatorship established in 1926 lasted until 1974, when another coup saw a left wing socialist government installed, which duly arranged democratic elections in Portugal.

It would be untrue to say that all Portuguese are of mixed descent. A large number are not, as is evidenced by these three portraits of the King of Portugal in 1908, Dom Carlos, (center) and his two sons - all fine Nordic racial types. However, it is equally true to say that a large number of present day inhabitants of Portugal are indeed of mixed racial descent - either part Black - from the huge Black African slave trade into that country - or part Moorish, dating from the nearly 700 year of Moorish occupation.

Although Portugal declined quickly as a world force, she managed to hang on to scattered colonies in Asia and Africa.

However, most of the Portuguese colonies in Asia were lost, never to be regained, during the Second World War when the Japanese overran most of the region.

The only remaining Portuguese possessions in Asia, Goa and Macau, were handed over to India in 1961 and China in 1987 respectively. In 1976, Portuguese Timor was occupied by Indonesian forces.

In Africa the primary colonies were Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau. Refusing to bow to the post World War two decolonization process, Portugal found itself embroiled in a vicious insurgency war with Black African nationalists in both Angola and Mozambique, despite a massive degree of mixing with the local population taking pace, as was the Portuguese colonial norm.

In addition to the actual physical integration, as early as 1961, Portugal extended Portuguese citizenship to Africans in all these territories, giving them the right to enter and reside in Portugal - an offer which hundreds of thousands, perhaps over a million, took up. The parallel with the granting of citizenship to all free persons in the Roman Empire in 212 AD, cannot be missed.

Finally the Portuguese withdrew from all their colonies, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, the Cape Verde Islands, Sao Tome and Principe, and Angola, without warning directly after the 1974 coup. The immediate effect for Portugal was an another huge influx of several hundred thousand colonial ex-pats, a vast number of whom brought their Black wives and mixed race children with them away from the chaos of the colonies.

Portugal's dramatic and extremely quick decline from the most powerful and richest country in Western Europe to the most backward and poor country in that region, contains an extremely significant lesson. It only required an influx and absorption of just over ten per cent of Nonwhite blood into mainstream Portuguese society to cause a significant shift in population make-up of that country. This shift in make-up immediately affected Portugal's position and status in the world, with its decline being clearly linked to the absorption process.

ACADEMIC FRAUD EXPOSED - HOW HISTORY IS BEING TWISTED

How history is being rewritten to suit the politically correct dogma and also how unreliable modern academics have become is revealed in the following three extracts from Encyclopedae, all dealing with the subject of the population of Portugal.

The first extract, below, is from the 1911, 11th edition, of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and deals very bluntly with the fact of the importation - and absorption - of Black slaves into Portugal. It describes the Portuguese population as being "composed of many racial elements."

The second extract, below, is from the 1998, 15th edition, of the Encyclopedia Britannica - in the new version, the Black racial influence has been completely written out, and the article goes on to state that the Portuguese population is one of the "most homogenous in Europe" - a blatant falsehood.

The third extract, below, is from the Colliers Encyclopedia of 1966, also ignores the Black racial element in the Portuguese population but goes on to state that "there is no typical Portuguese. Some are short, some are tall; some have fair skin; some have a sallow or dark complexion, some have brown eyes, others have blue."

The reader could be forgiven for thinking that both the modern so-called "Encyclopedia" are talking about completely different countries - evidence of not only the deliberate policy of suppressing the truth of race in history, but also of malicious academic fraud.
