We literally did not invest in education, technology and industrialization when we were a rich empire.
And then when we lost everything, we had a country that produced little, with a low population and dumb.
Everything was great when we sold slaves, spices and dug up gold from Brazil but once that was gone, it was joever.

also, unironically, kicking out our jews, who, along side jews from Spain and other countries, went to the Netherlands (not all but a good number) and contributed to the maritime development of the Dutch and their banking system which contributed to the Dutch eventually overtaking us.
And sure, now the Dutch are also irrelevant shitters like us in the world stage but at least their way wealthier and their country is more developed.

Fun story: Once when our family was discussing Brazilian history I said something like "the portuguese are so dumb", which tirggered my grandmom and she replied "how are the portuguese dumb? We are portuguese, dumb are the baianos". Baiano being my other ethnic half.

Wasn't Salazar schizo about industrialization, because industrialization means communists and cities means masons? He didn't trusted the army either, but I read that he was right here and there was indeed a lot of Freemasonry there

1. Terrible geography. We are at the edge of Europa, away from its main markets and economic center while only bordering a single country (who isn't exactly a star pupil either)

2. No resources. We don't have Norway's oil or anything that we can effectively dig out from the ground.

3. We cannot become a tax haven like Ireland. Because the EU has double standards and won't allow it, also the Greeks keep complaining about us

4. Joining the EU meant we had to axe our fishing and agricultural industries. Because of quotas

5. Salazarist inheritance. Mainly trad cath boomers and their left leaning woes, as well as a bunch of uneducated people who luckily have died off

6. THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON: Shit governments between 2001 and 2012~ which caused a downward spiral in our very modern history until 2019ish, with special note to Socrates' leftist government that bankrupt the country in 2011. Since the pandemic we have been doing alright, better than the European average and better than the Eurozone in a lot of relevant metrics, but we need a lot of catching up

FACTOS dropped

>In 1854 Nicolau Biava, an Italian miner from Piedmont, Italy, staked a claim to the mine; ownership then passed to a French syndicate. In 1855 mining was resumed, as the international demand for copper grew during the Industrial Revolution. In 1859 the mining concession was leased for 50 years to an English mining company, Mason and Barry, run by Sir Francis Barry, 1st Baronet and his brother-in-law James Mason, because of their industrial mining expertise. The nearby port of Pomarão was inaugurated the same year.

You do have resources, you just don't know how to find and use them. Relying on Italian, French, and English experts is ok in the short term, but sooner or later you need to learn how to do things yourself.
