Spanish–Portuguese War (1762–1763)
The Spanish–Portuguese War (1762–1763) was fought as part of the Seven Years' War. The first theatre of the war was an invasion of Portugal by Spain in alliance with France against the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance, which ended in disaster after three defeated invasion attempts. The second theatre was a Spanish invasion of Portuguese colonies in South America, which ended in stalemate. Because no major battles were fought, even though there were numerous movements of troops and heavy losses among the Spanish invaders, this theatre of the Seven Years' War is known in Portuguese historiography as the Fantastic War ( Portuguese and Spanish: ''Guerra Fantástica''). The war ended along with the Seven Years' War in the 1763 Treaty of Paris. Background When the Seven Years' War between France and Great Britain started in 1754, Spain and Portugal remained neutral, their differences in South America having been settled by the Treaty of Madrid of 1750.

Patuleia
The Patuleia, Guerra da Patuleia, or Little Civil War was a civil war in Portugal in 1846-47, so called to distinguish it from the 'great' civil war between Pedro IV of Portugal, Pedro IV and Miguel I (1828-1834).

Liberal Wars
The Liberal Wars (), also known as the Portuguese Civil War () and the War of the Two Brothers () was a civil war in Portugal that lasted from May 1828 to May 1834, fought between liberal progressive constitutionalists (led by former King Pedro IV) and conservative traditionalists (led by King Miguel I) over the country's system of government and royal succession. Embroiled parties included the Kingdom of Portugal, Portuguese rebels, the United Kingdom, France, the Catholic Church, Spain and Russia. Roots of the conflict The death of King John VI in 1826 created a dispute over royal succession.

Pedro briefly entitled himself King Pedro IV of P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Invasion Of Portugal (1807)
French and Spanish forces invaded Portugal from 19–30 November 1807 during the Napoleonic Wars, sparking the Peninsular War. The Franco-Spanish invasion force was led by General Jean-Andoche Junot, while the Portuguese were under the nominal command of Prince Regent John. French and Spanish troops entered Portugal and swiftly occupied it in the face of little resistance due to the poor state of the Portuguese military. Prior to the invasion, Napoleon had issued an ultimatum to the Portuguese government, which reluctantly acceded to most of his demands. Nevertheless, Napoleon ordered Junot to invade Portugal together with three Spanish Army divisions. Paralyzed by fear and indecision, the Portuguese authorities offered no resistance. Junot's troops occupied Lisbon on 30 November 1807, only to find that João and many of the leading families had escaped to Brazil aboard an Anglo-Portuguese fleet. The French quickly occupied the entire country and appropriated or disband ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
War Of The Oranges
The War of the Oranges (; ; ) was a brief conflict in 1801 in which Spanish forces, instigated by the government of France, and ultimately supported by the French military, invaded Portugal.

Spanish–Portuguese War (1776–1777)
The Spanish-Portuguese War, also known as the Second Cevallos expedition, was fought between 1776 and 1777 over the border between Spanish and Portuguese South America. Portuguese attack In the previous Spanish-Portuguese War 1762–1763, Spanish forces had conquered Colonia del Sacramento, Santa Tecla, San Miguel, Santa Teresa and Rio Grande de São Pedro in the First Cevallos expedition. Colonia del Sacramento was returned to Portugal in the Treaty of Paris, but Santa Tecla, San Miguel, Santa Teresa and Rio Grande de São Pedro remained in Spanish hands. The Portuguese started assembling troops and harassing the Spanish in 1767. Over the years, the Portuguese built up an army of 6,000 men, considerably more than the 1,450 Spanish troops in the area. The matter escalated in February 1776 when two Portuguese fleets under Robert MacDouall and Jorge Hardcastle landed troops near the fortress of Rio Grande de São Pedro, and started shelling the Spanish fort.

Spanish–Portuguese War (1735–1737)
The Spanish-Portuguese War between 1735 and 1737 was fought over the Banda Oriental, roughly present-day Uruguay. At the time, this part of South-America was sparsely populated and was on the border between Portuguese Brazil and the Spanish Governorate of the Río de la Plata. Spain claimed the area based on the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494, but Portugal had founded the first city there, Sacramento Colony, in 1680. Spain had taken the city twice, in 1681 and in 1705, but was required to give it back to the Portuguese by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. The following years saw an expansion of the Portuguese settlements around the Sacramento Colony to a radius of up to 120 km. As a reaction, Captain-General of Río de la Plata Bruno Mauricio de Zabala had founded Montevideo on December 24, 1726 to prevent further expansion. However, the Portuguese trade made the Spanish suffer, as they were still compelled to trade with Spain over the Viceroyalty of Peru, who imposed heav ...

Luso–Leonese War (1162–1165)
The Luso-Leonese War took place from 1162 to 1165. It was a conflict between Portugal and the Kingdom of León.
