The following [[Outline (list)|outline]] is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Portugal:

The '''Portuguese Republic''', commonly known as '''Portugal''', is a [[Earth:List of sovereign states|sovereign country]] principally located on the [[Place:Iberian Peninsula|Iberian Peninsula]] in [[Place:Southern Europe|Southern Europe]].<ref name=CIA_World_Factbook>{{cite web|date=July 2, 2009|url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/portugal/|title=Portugal|work=The World Factbook|publisher={{wipe|United States}} Central Intelligence Agency|access-date=July 23, 2009}}</ref>  Portugal is the westernmost country of continental Europe and is bordered by the [[Earth:Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic Ocean]] to the west and south and by {{wipe|Spain}} to the north and east. The Atlantic [[Earth:Archipelago|archipelago]]s of the Azores and Madeira (including the Savage Islands) are also part of Portugal.

The land within the borders of today's Portuguese Republic has been continuously settled since [[History:Prehistoric Iberia|prehistoric times]]. Some of the earliest [[Social:Civilization|civilization]]s include Lusitanians and Celtic societies. Incorporation into the Roman Republic dominions took place in the 2nd century BC. The region was ruled and colonized by Germanic peoples, such as the Suebi and the Visigoths, from the 5th to the 8th century. From this era, some vestiges of the Alans were also found. The Muslim Moors arrived in the early 8th century and conquered the [[Religion:Christians|Christian]] Germanic kingdoms, eventually occupying most of the Iberian Peninsula. In the early 12th century, during the Christian ''[[Social:Reconquista|Reconquista]]'', Portugal appeared as a kingdom independent of its neighbour, the [[Place:Kingdom of León|Kingdom of León]] and [[History:Kingdom of Galicia|Galicia]]. In a little over a century, in 1249, Portugal would establish almost its entire modern-day borders.

During the 15th and 16th centuries, with a [[Place:Portuguese Empire|global empire]] that included possessions in [[Earth:Africa|Africa]], [[Earth:Asia|Asia]] and [[Earth:South America|South America]], Portugal was one of the world's major economic, political, and cultural powers. In the 17th century, the Portuguese Restoration War between Portugal and Spain ended the sixty-year period of the Iberian Union (1580–1640). In the 19th century, armed conflict with {{wipe|France}} and {{wipe|Spain}} invading forces and the loss of its largest territorial possession abroad, {{wipe|Brazil}}, disrupted political stability and potential economic growth. In 1910, the last Portuguese king was overthrown and a [[Place:First Portuguese Republic|republic]] was proclaimed. In 1926, a coup d'état established a [[Place:Ditadura Nacional|military dictatorship]] that would be replaced by a fascist regime called [[Place:Estado Novo (Portugal)|Estado Novo]] in 1933. After the Portuguese Colonial War (1961–1974) and the Carnation Revolution coup d'état in 1974, the ruling [[Place:Estado Novo (Portugal)|regime]] was deposed in Lisbon, a democracy was established and the country handed over its last overseas provinces in Africa. Portugal was accepted as a member of the European Economic Community in 1986. Portugal's last overseas territory, [[Place:Macau|Macau]], was handed over to China in 1999.
