Comparing Script for the Portuguese restoration of the Independence day

History of the Portuguese restoration of Independence

The first king through the Treaty of Zamora was D. Afonso Henriques; from 1143 to 1557, Portugal was an independent kingdom. In 1557,  D. João III, the fifteenth king of Portugal, died and his only descendant was his grandson  D. Sebastião. He actually had nine children who all died before his own death, so at the end, he only had his grandson. Hence, after the death of his grandfather, D. Sebastião became the sixteenth king of Portugal when he was only three years old.  Later, when he was 24 years old and unmarried; without any descendant, he went and disappeared in battle in Africa. And once more, Portugal was left without any king, but Portuguese never lost their hope; they waited for their king to return but he never did.

After the death of D. Sebastião the sixteenth King 

Unfortunately, his successor was Cardinal, D. Henrique; he was 66 years old and unmarried, so he could not have any descendant after him, too. Then, two years later, he also died. After his death, king Filipe II of Spain overtook Portugal and in 1581, he was elected as the king of Portugal. After his 60 years of rule, Portuguese were tired of their king and Spain. So, Portuguese nobles came forward to put this situation to an end. Finally, in 1640, they managed to end this kingdom. Then, the great-great-grandson of the King D. Manuel III, D. João Duque de Bragança, was claimed the new king of Portugal after all the efforts.

Therefore, Portuguese celebrate their restoration of independence day on 1 December yearly. Moreover, the holiday was removed as the public holiday in 2012 as part of austerity measures but was restored on 2016. In order to celebrate this restoration in your schools and colleges, I have brought you the Comparing Script for the Portuguese restoration of the Independence day.
