== History ==
In the 16th century, it explored and colonised large areas, including [[Brazil]], [[Angola]], [[Mozambique]], parts of [[India]], [[Timor]], [[Cape Verde]], and others. It lost much of it's power when Lisbon was destroyed in an earthquake in 1755, and it was occupied in the Napoleonic Wars. In 1910 a revolution deposed the monarchy; but repressive nationalistic government would rule for most of the next six decades. In 1974, a left-wing military coup installed broad democratic reforms. Portugal is a founding member of [[NATO]] and entered the [[EC]] (now the [[European Union]]) in 1986.<ref>https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/po.html CIA Factbook</ref>
