Kingdom of Portugalball, also known as Portuguese Empireball (but never officially), was Portugalball when monarchy from 1143 to 1910 when it changed into a Republic.
History
Kingdom of Portugalball was known as County of Portugalball in its childhood and adolescence. The county became part of the Kingdom of Leonball in 1097, and then County of Portugalball established itself as rulers of an independent (and adult) kingdom in the 12th century, thus the birth of Kingdom of Portugalball.
During the 15th and 16th centuries, Kingdom of Portugalball developed navigation, allowing exploration for the establishment of a vast colonial empire. This made it the first global colonial power in Europe. It most notably started the "Age of Discovery".
From 1580 to 1640, it was in a personal union with Habsburg Spainball. After the Portuguese Restoration War of 1640–1668, the kingdom passed to the House of Braganza. From this time, the influence of Portugalball declined, but it remained a major power due to its most valuable colony and child, Brazilball.
After the independence of Brazilball, Portugalball sought to establish itself in Africa but was ultimately forced to yield to the UKball's interests, leading to the collapse of the monarchy in the 5 October 1910 revolution. Then it became the First Portuguese Republicball.
