"The Story of the Nations: Portugal" by H. Morse Stephens is a historical account written in the late 19th century. It aims to present a chronological history of Portugal, highlighting the key events and figures that shaped its identity as a nation. The book addresses the evolution of Portugal from its early days through significant milestones such as the reign of its first king, Affonso Henriques, and the establishment of a Portuguese kingdom. The opening of the text discusses the early history of Portugal, starting with its geographical and cultural identity, which was initially intertwined with that of Spain. It emphasizes the importance of figures like Affonso Henriques, who played a crucial role in the establishment of Portuguese independence and national pride. The narrative elaborates on the early struggles against the Moors, the internal conflicts within the peninsula, and the eventual formation of a unified national spirit among the Portuguese people. The author sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the events that marked Portugal’s rise, suggesting that this historical journey is not only fascinating but also instructive for understanding the nature of nationhood.
