In the 8th century Muslim Moors conquered the Christian kingdoms occupying most of the Iberian peninsula. During the Christian reconquering the County of Portugal was settled as part of the Kingdom of Galicia established in 1143 and stabilized in 1249.
Portugal claims to be the oldest European Nation-state. In the 15th-16th centuries they established a Christian global empire that included possessions in Africa, Asia and South America and were a world major economy, political and military power.
The Spanish (1761) and French Invasions and the Lisbon Earthquake of 1755 preceded the loss of the largest territory abroad, Brazil which disrupted political stability and economic growth and international status.

Very easy:
Spain conquered all South and Central America (except Brazil) and a half of the USA. Spain made the Spanish language the 2nd most spoken language today. That's why USA hates the Spanish culture, because they can't accept Spain was the first world superpower and that they were a Spanish colony.
Portugal conquered Brazil... no more to say.
