We love our homeland faithfully in our hearts.
We battle to death for our beloved motherland.
Cities are now burning, with all covered in smoke.
The god of war is rumbling in the dark forests.
Artillerymen, Stalin gave the order.
Artillerymen, the motherland calls us.
With the one-hundred-thousands of batteries,
for the tears of our mothers,
for our motherland β fire! Fire!

Sure Portugal has been independent since it was created, but how did Portugal manage to be the only Iberian Kingdom to stay independent when all the others became a part of Spain?Carking the 6th wrote:

Mountains and rivers gave good defenses, when they did go to war guerrilla warfare and a hostile population made things difficult, and the fact that Portugal had a lot of wealth from colonies as weβll probably made their army strong enough to survive.
They were also in a personal union for a while and the Spanish king found Portugal hard to control. Not to mention they too busy fighting all these other wars to also handle Portugal.
I was tye only reason why the Spanish civil war didnt spill over and Portugal getting invaded by Franco.
If Franco tried to invade he would lose anyway and Portugal might be able to invade back and take Galacia or something lol. France and Spain was very weak by the end of the war
Franco wouldn't lose anyway, Portugal would've been conquered, literally check army.
Saviour was scared for a reason, Portugal was a sorry state at that time.
Couldnβt have conquered, they would he stuck in a horrible guerrila war all while still fighting the republicans. If anything it would just mean that the nationalists lose. Spain could not invade anyone, there is a reason they stayed out of ww2.
Spain was very close to invading Portugal. Until Saviour intervened.
It would've been horrible with Portugal ending up losing. Portugal balanced by supporting both sides.
While franco won, he begged him not to join ww2 in the fear of invasion.
You overestimate Nationalist Spain. They barely managed to take over their own country. A two front war would mean certain death. They had no real planes either, and their tanks were not effective in the rivers and natural defenses theyβd have to cross. Their untrained milita would fail in Portugal as unlike in their Homefront they donβt understand the land they are invading. Spain had no real offensive potential and expanding the war may make France and the UK intervene. Would not happen, and if it did it would be an anticlimactic failure.
