@@vkanthems6744 No, it still classes as an empire. Britain has extensive territory around the world. If the overseas territories are autonomous it doesn’t matter. Even though they are classed as ‘overseas territories’ by the UK government, they are still extensive, widespread and ruled over by a monarch.
@@alantan9863 The Falklands are and were British before Argentina was even a thing. So you cannot return them if they were never theirs. If the Falklands should be Argentine based on the fact that they are closer, it just shows how immature and childish you are. The Falklands, Gibraltar, Dhekelia and Akrotiri and many Caribbean islands are remains of the British Empire, and yes, even though they are now classed as ‘overseas territories’ they are still autonomous states ruled over by Queen Elizabeth II. I could go as far and say that New Zealand, Australia and Canada are still part of the empire seen as they are ruled over by the monarch, but I know that would be quite controversial.
During the Portuguese colonial war period, every man in Portugal was sent to war. While one of my grandfathers was sent to Guiné, the other was sent to Macau to work on the trains (if my memory is correct). My grandfather told me so many interesting things about Macau and Chinese culture that it’s on my bucketlist to visit Macau one day. As a Portuguese myself, and with friends from Macau as well as Brazil and Angola, I always feel a connection, even though we were all born after the independence.
Many natives could speak Portuguese. I'm from Mainland China, my cousin is studying in Macau and he said that he was supposed to speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Portuguese and English.
@Timothy Wei Argee with you, if Macau lost again, where corruption officers and the rich from could get their money launding and flee to U.S ? Hong Kong already overload and Macau need to share this mighty responsibilities. Defend Macau by all cost, don't let colonists slave Macau again !
@@nguyencanhhuy3404 Really? Did you know that some rich Chinese Officials already use Macau as the money laundering? Same thing would happen in HK no matter who take control over it, but it about the people of MC or HK enjoy a wealthy and happiness life. Macau need to defend it self from Mainland China influence now its too late, During the time when Portuguese Gov still control Macau, they did a very good job in maintaining and integrating the Chinese Traditional vs Modern Western world. Now what, Chinese Simplified everywhere, Mandarin speaker every where, most of the Portuguese vintage structure have been taken down. p/s You're making a grammar mistake: "laundering" not "launding"
Technically, from the point of view of International law, Portugal was still considered the legal administering power in East timor under the UN Transitional mandate from October 1999 to May 2002. So Legally, it did last until 2002
Lowkey to what point? What emotion are you portraying lowkey as. Remember according to Urban Dictionary and Miriam Webster it means it is an extended version of a writer's emotion.
Portugal connected the world and then the world forgot about Portugal... Both the Portuguese and Chinese anthems end with 'march on, march on' strangely enough.
@Rosida Andriyana God you´re so hatefull...Portuguese language already was the most used language...but guess what? Things changed and english is far way a easy language to learn. And yes Portugal buitl the first global empire in the world...where were the english and the french in those times??? lol
The Portuguese government had been begging China to take Macau ever since the Carnation Revolution in 1974. China repeatedly politely but firmly refused, saying that its priority was taking Hong Kong back.
The best neighbours that we have and among the most digne persons in the World. Parabens to Portugal from Spain. Your tears are also ours and your satisfactions are shared with us. A mesma jangada de pedra.
As a Macau resident, I really miss the time when Portuguese flags flowed everywhere in Macau. At at time, we Macanese was not very rich but satisfied with our own lives, also the roads of Macau was not as crowded as nowadays.
It was willingly given by the Portuguese, since the Carnation Revolution that the new democratic government of Portugal wanted to give independence to it's former colonies, and Macau was not the exception, the only difference was that the Portuguese government wanted to have a smother handover in order to prevent the Caos that followed it's other colonies.
0:23 The man on the right side without a pair of glasses was António Guterres, who was the Prime Minister of Portugal at that moment and is the incumbent general secretary of UN WOW
Last true “colony” in my mind. I know that Britain, France, Denmark, and the Netherlands still have overseas territories but they have many measures of independence and are somewhat removed from their European countries. Maybe I’m uninformed, but this is what I think at the moment.
France grants all its overseas colonies full citizenship. Doubt any of them would want to leave a nuclear armed 1st world country to be a lonely irrelevant island with no way to defend itself.
There is a very interesting point The last sentence of the lyrics of the anthem of Portugal: Contra os canhões! marchar, marchar! The last sentence of the lyrics of the anthem of PR China: 冒着敌人的炮火，前进，前进，前进进 They have the totally same meaning How coincident
Seriam uns putos duns imperialistas salazaristas reaccionários então teus parentes? Choraram também quando da revolução dos Cravos, talvez? Viva o Brasil livre, viva a Angola livre, abaixo ao imperialismo, tugas reaças, vão torcer pro falido do Clube de Regatas do Vasco da Gama!

Y con este acontecimiento, justo en los últimos días del milenio, el colonialismo europeo en Asia culminó definitivamente. Macao era el último territorio europeo en Asia.
@@zuhairahmedsyed5853 it's a trash hole now. When the British were there at least it was civilised. They built transport networks and brought democracy to India.
Besides Portugal, The “A Portuguesa” Anthem Was Also Used In Portuguese Mozambique, Portuguese Angola, Portuguese Colonies In India, Portuguese Colonies In Sri Lanka, And Portuguese Macau.🇵🇹🇲🇿🇦🇴🇮🇳🇱🇰🇨🇳🇲🇴
@ I'm super happy that nearly nobody speaks Portuguese in Macau and this tiny Chinese territory is getting better and better in the pan pearl river delta development. People, be confident! Never defame your own culture! 😁🤟

@@tiagorodrigues179 o meu companheiro mais USA têm outros territórios como Puerto Rico, Guam, Samoa, as marianas, e sinceramente eu acho que o seu política é control mundial é uma forma de imperialismo
E assim Macau vai embora e o ultimo resquisio da colonização Portuguesa é apagado,o mais curioso é que 20 anos apos a devolução de Macau a China os habitantes de la e a ilha em si ainda tem o Português como lingua "Co-oficial",pra mim que sou Brasileiro foi estranho ver um império acabar assim de uma forma tão sombria
Essentially a funeral ceremony of European colonialism, and the birth of Chinese neo-colonialism taking over. Quite sad, but we will come back one day for sure, if God wills it..
Hong Kong was a handover which meant that Britain had to give it back to China. Macau was a transition which meant that Macau belong to Portugal, but Portugal didn’t want Macau anymore so they decided to give it away to China.
CGP Grey said Macao was given to Portugal with Cash. Since China was not satisfied with their economy after the Hong Kong Handover so they asked Portugal if they could have Macao. Portugal didn't want Macao anymore anyways because they were trying to forget their colonial imperial past.
Marcus Vlogger well not really. Most didn’t. It belonged to Portugal. However though with time and with the removal of the military troops 20 yrs prior to the transition. Portugal tried to give to China for years but, there were some complications. Also the United Nations held a vote that there couldn’t be anymore common wealths in the east. So basically Macau belonged to Portugal and you now Portugal no longer wanted to do anything with the city island. No offense.
Read about the history of 500 years ago. The document between Portugal and China, only mentioned China rent a piece land of peninsula to Portugal for them to park their sailing boats, not any official documents saying the land of Macau had given out to Portugal, as well as they didn’t have any wars in between for China to give up Macau to Portugal. But it was long time ago and much far away than Hong Kong and UK. It may hard for you to find those history because they’re all in Chinese as you said you’re from Portugal 🇵🇹. Assuming you’re a Portuguese.
Sarah Chan and I’m assuming you’re Chinese Macanese. Remember how Portugal did China a favor to help settle the trouble that UK and Sini was dealing with. That land that was leased was now given to Portugal. 👌
It would help the readers to brush up on the world history regarding the Portuguese and Chinese nations. The lease came to an end,,not the business, nor the relationship. The Portuguese are still involved because we have one of the oldest relationships in global history.... and the relationship still stands to date, firm and strong❤️🇵🇹🇨🇳❤️
Minutes before midnight in Macau, the Portuguese flag 🇵🇹 and the Portuguese colonial flag of Macau was lowered with the Portuguese national anthem “The Portuguese” playing to mark the end of Portuguese rule of Macau, then at midnight, the Chinese flag 🇨🇳 and the new 🇲🇴 Macau flag was raising with the Chinese national anthem “March of the Volunteers” playing to mark the beginning of Chinese rule of 🇲🇴 Macau.
Super Catman that’s why Britain has parliamentary house named “Common Wealth” the former British empires or those who uses British money as their currency
Viva Portugal* Portugal doesn't have a gender unlike 'a Espanha', 'a Inglaterra', 'a Alemanha', 'o Japão', 'os Estados Unidos da América', 'as Filipinas', and so on... It's just 'Portugal'.
It's different ceremony. It's not formal Chinese flag raising ceremony, it's handover ceremony. Therefore, no need to throw the PRC's flag. Check 1997 Hongkong's Handover. It's the same
Portugueses, tenho muita pena de vós, nós ucranianos compreendemos melhor do que ninguém como é perder territórios, já passaram 23 anos desde a entrega de Macau pelo vosso governo socialista, aceitem a minha sincera solidariedade🇺🇦♥️🇵🇹
"But, uh, Malta doesn't want to have independence" UN: "Self determination! Free them!" "But they want to stay." UN: "THEY WANT INDEPENDENCE, THEY JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET." "But what about Hong Kong and Macau, shall we give them their independence too?" UN: "No. Because we put the Chinese incharge of writing up the charter for anti-colonialism and they put in small print that Hong Kong and Macau can never legally become their own countries." "Oh." UN: "Yeah..."
Macau belongs Re-United with the Nation that founded her unique multicultural society and way of life. Long Live the Portuguese Empire and the Jewel of the Crown that is Macau!
1415-1999, 584 years. The first European oversea empire to born and the last one to end. Today Brazil is a great player in global economy. One of the biggest economies of the world. The existence of Brazil is a consequence of Portuguese naval expansion.
My grandma was from Macau before the independence and she was a Portuguese citizen but she never knew her mom so she doesn’t know if she is Portuguese or not, but she moved to hong kong and live there for most of her life.
I hate the CCP and China (I'm a Manchu Independence supporter) but I have to admit, that moment when the lighting turned from Portuguese Green to Chinese Red was epic.
Se pensarmos assim, A Madeira e os Açores são territórios descobertos, na Era dos Descobrimentos, e fizeram parte do Império. Se pensarmos assim, Portugal permanece um Império
A madeira e os Açores são, culturalmente e etnicamente portugueses, para além de terem economias ultradependentes do continente. Um madeirense não se sente deslocado no continente. Os habitantes dos arquipélagos identificam-se como portugueses, por isso acho que não se trata bem de uma ex-colonia. O mesmo para Espanha e as baleares
Think Positive ++ First, I'm not white your racist piece of shit. Second, how can you celebrate a city being handed over to genocidal dictators of the Chinese Communist Party?
Gabriel Francisco *Have you already been to China?* *I've been to China myself, at least 6 times.* *So I can honestly say that China is now even more capitalist than the United States.* *Do you even know the real meaning of "communism"?* *As an American capitalist, I seriously prefer living in Shanghai than NY.* *It's much more vibrant and the business atmosphere there... my goodness.* *It's hard to explain, just see it for yourself.* *Don't be fooled by the name "communist party".* *"True blue" communism doesn't exist in China anymore, especially after the fall of the USSR.* *Mao's China has already ended more than 30 years ago. It's not the same China as it was before.* *That's "Cold War mentality" (capitalism vs communism).* *Cold war has already ended decades ago. Move on.* *Capitalism (free trade) is an economic system, not a political one.* *You can be a capitalist state, while maintaining a "socialist" political system (which China is).* *Socialism in China is mainly just for political control, but Chinese people are generally "free" to do business.* *In short, 50% capitalist (economy) - 50% socialist (politics).* *China is an authoritarian capitalist state, not a communist one.* *P.S.: I also used to believed "KMT is better than CCP because they are capitalist", especially when I was still a huge fan of China Uncensored.* *But there's something that they don't tell you.* *KMT's Republic of China (~1949) has almost the same political system just like CCP's China today.* *KMT's China was also a one-party authoritarian state, just like CCP's China today.* *There was no democracy at all.* *When Chiang Kai-shek and his loyal KMT generals relocated to Taiwan, he declared Martial Law for decades.* *It was obviously pure dictatorship.* *KMT's China was ruled by only 1 man, while CCP's China is controlled by a party with millions of members. It's basically the same for me.* *The main reason why Taiwan was able to "afford" switching to democracy is simply because they are already a "developed nation" and have already escaped the "middle income trap".* *But until 1990s, Taiwan was basically a one-party authoritarian state as well, just like in mainland China today.* *If China switched to democracy too early, it will just be another India.* *Mark my words.* *The good thing about the present Chinese system is it's so progressive that everything in China is growing rapidly.* *It's easier to implement new policies and new reforms. Everything is well-managed.* *Unlike in India (conservative), as it's already a democracy, everything would need to go through "due process", resulting to countless red tapes and corruption in the government.* *In short, nothing gets done in India.* *The keyword here is DONE, and China gets things DONE faster than India, hence the huge difference on economic growth.* *It's easier to say "it's just an excuse not to have democracy", especially if you were born in the developed Western world.* *We didn't experience living during the start of the Industrial Revolution where almost every nation was still an authoritarian dictatorship state (by monarchs).* *Remember, China is still a DEVELOPING nation, just like most nations in Asia.* *The Western world has already gone through the peak of industrialization, while most Asian nations haven't.* *So comparing the Western world to Asia is like comparing a level 1 newbie to a level 99 character on an online game.* *China has a population of almost 1.4 BILLION people, the largest population on Earth.* *Meanwhile, Taiwan has only around 20 million.* *Which do you think is easier to manage and industrialize?* *I really believe that in less than 100 years, when China is already a developed and industrialized nation, it will eventually turn into a democracy as well.* *No doubt about that.*
Think Positive ++ At some point I criticized China's economy? I am criticizing the fact that Macau in 1999 became a dictatorship. China has discovered that communist economics does not work but still wants to maintain the dictatorial system.
Gabriel Francisco *Since 1999, Macau has retained the same system as it used to.* *It's still full of casinos, right?* *If China is really "communist", there shouldn't be any gambling, luxury bags and cars in Macau right now because all of those are ILLEGAL in a communist society.* *In fact, in Mao's China, all of those are punishable by death.* *But as I've said earlier, it's not the same China as it used to anymore.*
Brener Almeida Yet it’s like saying Britain’s Empire shall rise again.Why would you want an empire that treated others under your rule as second class or not even human beings
The dependent British Colonies stills being rich countries for example: Australia, Canada, New Zealand. Every country were better in colonial times without the false feeling of freedom or independence. Now Macau is a China slave like Brazil, Angola and Mozambique stills needs massive international support from USA or also Portugal. Nobody was treated like second class by Portugal in Macau, we're even more compassionate than the chinese and I can affirm that without any fear. The chinese government is a socialist dictatorship and Portugal is a democracy.
PORQUE TENS MEDO... CALMA , AMIGO... UM DIA A BANDEIRA PORTUGUESA VAI VOLTAR A FLUTUAR SOBRE O CRISTO REDENTOR... DEIXA LA QUE O BRASIL E BASTANTE BEM SUCEDIDO, POVO BURRO E CORRUPTO, VAO LONGE, VAO....
