The country was initially inhabited by various Celtic tribes, and later came under Roman rule in the 2nd century BC.<\/p>\n<p>After the fall of the Roman Empire, the region was invaded by Germanic tribes, and later by the Moors in the 8th century. The Moors ruled much of the Iberian Peninsula for several centuries, but in the 12th century, Portugal began to emerge as an independent kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>In 1139, Portugal&#8217;s first king, Afonso Henriques, declared himself independent from Leon, and by the 13th century, Portugal had become a powerful kingdom with a strong navy and overseas trade. In 1415, Portugal began its era of exploration and colonization with the conquest of Ceuta, in present-day Morocco.<\/p>\n<p>During the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal established colonies and trading posts in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, becoming one of the most powerful empires in the world. This period of Portuguese history is known as the Age of Discoveries.<\/p>\n<p>In the 19th century, Portugal experienced political instability and economic decline, leading to the fall of the monarchy in 1910 and the establishment of a republic. In the mid-20th century, Portugal became involved in colonial wars in Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau, which ultimately led to the collapse of the dictatorship and the establishment of democracy in 1974.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Portugal is a modern European country with a rich cultural heritage and a vibrant economy, known for its wine, food, and tourism industry.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243;
