[edit] Brazil
What's all this about Brazil in the Infobox? --PaxEquilibrium 23:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC) Yes, it's debatable, but the Empire of Brazil was in a way one of the offshots of the Kingdom of Portugal, I supposse... The Ogre 07:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] History section
Hello PaxEquilibrium, I see you were trying to expand the history section. In fact I dont't even know if this article should exist, since talking about the Kingdom of Portugal is basically talking about ... Portugal! I'm not proposing to delete it, though... but I do think one should not replicate information well develloped in other articles. Also because a small selection of events would not satisfy everyone's criteria of what should be included or not. And by the way, you had an error: Portugal was never annexed by the Kingdom of Spain; the country maintained its formal independece since it was a personal union of the crows in the period called of Iberian Union, just after the Portuguese dynastic crisis.

- Yes, I understand - but Wikipedia should have articles on all former states - keep on mind that Portugal is a Republic now - and it hasn't got one on the Kingdom of Portugal. See Russian Empire, Kingdom of Serbia, Kingdom of Italy etc... I understand your point, but I think that having a separate article on the Kingdom (with the *former country* template) IMHO a right thing. AFAIK, why not integrate it into the History of Portugal omnibus and split it into several articles? Like "Early Royal Portugal", "Portuguese Empire", etc...?
- I noticed, sorry for that; please fix any error I make, I am only starting to deeply research Portuguese history. Cheers! --PaxEquilibrium 10:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- I think this page should be merged with Portugal...The "History of Portugal series" (seen in History of Portugal, for example) template already have good sub-sections to develop about the Portuguese history...Anyway I like the "former country" template but it should say something like "Historical development of Portugal" below the name, because it may seem that Portugal disappeared.Câmara (talk) 21:10, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
