Portuguese Musketeers Save Ethiopia

What an amazing insight! These things we dont learn in school (im portuguese)

By the way, maybe you can help me. I’m doing a personal project and need old portuguese maps of malaysia, malacca, and SE asia. Would you happen to know where to get them?
Thank you so much

Around 1380 Pedro the brother of Henrique the navigator of Portugal has been in Ethiopia seeking for an alliance to reach Índia backed by ethiopian warriors of Prester John.

The world owes a debt of gratitude to the Portuguese for saving the good people of Ethiopia from the pure evil plague known as Islam! Ethiopia has been Christian since the first century and a shinning star surrounded by the most evil of neighbors!

🇵🇹👍

First bible is from Ethiopia

Thanks for this beautiful piece of our History .
Viva a Etiopia !
Viva a Portugal !

Intersting covrage. However, an importat part of the story needs to be highlighted. The Portuguies were received and led by Bahre Negus Isaq (Then Governing what is today Eritrea). The king Lebna Degel had died in 1541 and his sons, one was captured by Ahmed Grange, and Glawdiewos was hiding with 60 men in the Semien mountain. Queen Seble Wengel and the youngest son were under the protection of Bahre Negus Isaq in Debra Damo. Bahre Negus Isaq led the Portuguies along with his army and reasured the queen (who was in company) that he would bring Glawdweos from the mountain and together would win the war, and he did, he would also help in reuniting the imprisoned prince with his family through equal exchange. But as always little credit is given to the Eritrean who led the war to save Kingdom. Isaag would later be killed by one the princes who he had helped save.

Religion. Still one of the most deadly diseases on the planet! Someday we'll have to find a cure for it!

Heróis do mar, Nobre Povo, Nação valente e imortal! ❤🇵🇹

Vasco da Gama was indeed the first to get to India but wasnt the first to sail around Africa

What history teaches is not that repeats itself but that Islam is never changed always the same again and again no diversions

Dom Manuel pela graça de deus Rei de Portugal e do Algarve, de aquém e de além mar em África, senhor de Guiné e da conquista, navegação e comércio de Etiópia, Arábia, Pérsia e da Índia

Bullshit Portuguese are colonizers.

As i know musketeers are from France.

Thank you for bringing this story!

Im LUSITANO from Lusitania

😀

Such a small country, hardly a million strong, it's amazing how they managed to influence só many remote parts of the world.

The history of Portugal is second to none.🇵🇹

Great video!

Most books and schools just tell and teatch about Spain, France and Britain discoveries, but the first and biggest "Ocean's" Empire in human History was Portugal. It controled 70% of the Planet on the 15/16th centuries, from South America (Brazil and Caribe) until Far East (China, Japan) and also the north coast of Austrália

We portuguese f*cked shit up in the past. That Celtic warrior gene will never be erased

During the Roman times, The Lusitanians " Portuguese " used a way of fighting " Attack, and run away " While romans would probably call us cowards as they chased us not knowing we made them fall into a Trap, then killing The Romans. The U.S used that same way of fighting against the English.

Portuguese fought Muslim demons for centuries

😮 I was intrigued how my dna shows a 2% horn of Africa descent. 😂😂😂 0% Egyptian and Arab, but 2% horn of Africa! The portuguese, wherever they go, they mate and have kids. The family tree often doesn't show the name if the wife. And marrying is a way of making alliances.😂😂😂

Brazilian Guyana saved Addis Ababa?

But what about USA for Africa and Live Aid, which was led by Irish musician Bob Geldof?
Didn't it raise billions of dollars in 1985 to save Ethiopia from poverty and 40 years later it is still in misery?
Portugal and the United Kingdom keep saving that country in Africa and even so, after decades, or centuries of aid, that country is still in the shit?! It even looks like Brazil, lol

IL MARE NOSTRUM portugal valente e imortal

Now talk about the alliance between Portugal and China and why they thanks portugal giving Macau . Portugal empire was more about comercial trade places, also why they mixed more with others people than the spanish and english, more focused conquering.

The Portuguese Prestes João was a King in Ethiopia and Portuguese were The first european first westerners to arrive to ethiopia everywhere on whole planet ! First european first westerner to arrive Ethiopia was Prestes João !!!!

The Discoverers the real first ones arrive everywhere on whole planet were India ones , next China next persians , next arabs all asian ones next Portuguese !!!!! All other did / done 0 did not discovered something did not colonise and only made evil useless stuff all wrong stuff that is why all west now is all wrong with everything wrong !

Not the muslim not every musleem but only turkish turks tartarians ottomans !! You know understand 0 about History !!

Vasco da Gama died of malaria or by the hands of the imam ? In our history we learn that malaria took him when he went back to Goa.

This veredict story deserves a movie. Thanks to the portuguese Etiópia remains cristian.

And now the diveristy in ethiopia is near 0%. You leftist vermin only care about that correct?

thank you to bring this bit of Portuguese History that I as portuguese never heard about

Isto é a velha história do João Prestes... Contada por um americano, faz um pouco de impressão

🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🩵🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

In 1385, portuguese army of 7.500 men defended an invasion of 30.000 spanish army led by the Spanish King, that included the best of French cavalry. Around 5.000 spanish were killed and the king decreted 7 years of official mourning for the loss of most of Spain's noblemen.
Always outnumbered in numbers but never surpassed in spirit, courage and crazyness 😂 These are the Portuguese.

It would be interesting to have an episode on these 2 related subjects:-
(1) The Christian Nubian Kingdoms in Sudan. The last of these lasted to 1500 CE.
(2) The one armed ex-Confederate General William Wing Loring who was employed by the Egyptian Khedivate to invade Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and lost the battle of Gura to the Abyssinians.

Our national anthem says it all, brave conquerors and discoverers , Portugal and Spain were the superpowers of the time but lately in these modern times portuguese politicians and a sleepy ignorant portuguese population have allowed this to happen!! I live in Australia but im portuguese and its sad to see my country and its people suffer while the corrupt government have destroyed our values.

Portugal deu mundos ao mundo! ☝

This history does not fit into the trending narrative…

Portugal ❤

The history of Portugal, as you tell it here, is no longer taught in schools to Portuguese students so as not to hurt Muslim sensibilities. This is what we've come to.

World Historians always give much importance to the discovery of America and the role of Spain. Unfortunately the pioneer role of Portugal in navigation and globalization is always forgotten.




overrates the role of Spain

Portugal is now a small country. But in the past was the first global empire with territories from Europe to Africa, Asia, Oceania and South America.
