Spanish people were the first Europeans to colonize the Americas, setting the precedent for the violence and discrimination which has continued for the last 500 years.
The longest lasting Fascist country in Europe was Spain, which was fascist from 1939-1975.
I bet the 1975 Spaniards remembered the 1974 Portuguese.
But also, when I told a neighbor I was honeymooning in Portugal I was asked "Where is that? Is it part of Spain?"
So yeah, it's a lot of folks out there who don't remember Portugal.
