Only one i knew for sure was Porto, rest were semi guesses, thought Portugal needed to offload their port more desperately than the English needed it so went with 0%. Didn't they con the Portuguese out of India as well?

Yeah ... Porto is quite well known but I thought I put up some credible alternatives!

India? The British Empire let Portugal keep Goa!
btw: Did you know the alliance between Portugal & UK is the oldest/longest in history?
(I think that's true ...)

Not like it's your friend. You google everything because you never heard of anything people talk about in these forums.

And then you post what you learned here, like no one else already knew it.

This is why I call you 'Captain Obvious'.

Ok, you don't have to admit you used google, fine by me! 😉

Hard holding this type of Quiz on the internet expecting people not to use google, as it is a click away. 😉

Still haven't seen any answers from you, though.

Lots of foaming at the mouth, but no answers. Why don't you go lie down?
