Nation Background: Having regained its independence in the 1620s, while Spain was busy fighting in the Twenty Years War, Portugal soon became a parliamentary monarchy not unlike France, with the native Braganza dynasty taking power. Originally a French ally - against both Spain and Netherlands - Portugal later became neutral, though still quite cordial with France. The Portuguese didn't have any real European ambitions, and concentrated on rebuilding - and expanding - their colonial empire. Eventually, they came to dominate Sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Ocean, where they clashed with France somewhat, especially in recent years as India was being carved up.
