The empire was not a fable

Portugal tells its overseas history as a seductive epic, but an incomplete one. The article argues that discovering is not developing and that an empire should be measured by the institutions and freedoms it leaves behind, not by the size of its map. The colonial narrative erases that the occupied territories already had their own societies and that expansion involved coercion and violence. The argument that "without Portugal they would have nothing" is described as a fallacy. In the 20th century, the Estado Novo transformed this illusion into a national dogma to sustain the dictatorship and a thirteen-year war in Africa, until the 25th of April made decolonization inevitable. The text concludes that adult history does not need to erase navigators or heritage, but demands rigor to recognize ingenuity without transforming domination into virtue.
