Portugal:
Some evil tongues may say that the date chosen for Portugal Day was a poor choice. True, it was the most recognizable date connected with the man who represents Portugal nationalism, Luís de Camões, but it also coincided with the Iberian union and being under Spain's thumb.
So, the evil tongues thought they were right in saying that the date was a poor choice.
But, the strength of the Portuguese people, their independent spirit, never giving up fight for freedom from the Spanish royalty and people; all that was what Camões represented.
So, how could any other date have been chosen?
