With 1,793 km of coastline, Portugal has a long history as a seafaring country and once had colonies all over the world. Brazil, one of its wealthier colonies, became independent in 1822, and all of its African colonies were granted independence in 1975. Its capital city, Lisbon, was almost completely destroyed in an earthquake in 1755, and later, Portugal endured years of revolution and occupation before democratic reforms were put in place in 1974.
