Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, overlooking theTagus river

Portugal, officially thePortuguese Republic, is a country on theIberian Peninsula inSouthwestern Europe. It is an unitarysemi-presidential republic composed bycontinental Portugal and twoautonomous regions, withLisbon as both itscapital andlargest city. The continental portionborders Spain to the north and east, withMadeira and theAzores in theAtlantic Ocean. It featuresthe westernmost point incontinental Europe.

The western Iberian Peninsula has been continuously inhabited sinceprehistoric times, with the earliest signs ofsettlement dating to 5500 BC.Celtic andIberian peoples arrived in the first millennium BC. The region came underRoman control in the second century BC. A succession ofGermanic peoples and theAlans ruled from the fifth to eighth centuries AD.Muslims invaded mainland Portugal in the eighth century, but were gradually expelled by the ChristianReconquista, culminating with the capture of theAlgarve between 1238 and 1249. Modern Portugal began taking shape during this period, initially as acounty of the ChristianKingdom of León in 868, and formally as a sovereignkingdom with theManifestis Probatum in 1179.

As one of the earliest participants in theAge of Discovery, Portugal made several seminal advancements innautical science. The Portuguese subsequentlywere among the first Europeans to explore and discover new territories and sea routes, establishing amaritime empire of settlements, colonies, and trading posts that extended mostly along theSouth Atlantic andIndian Ocean coasts. Adynastic crisis in the early 1580s resulted in theIberian Union (1580–1640), which unified Portugal under Spanish rule, marking its gradual decline as a global power. Portuguese sovereignty was regained in 1640 and was followed by acostly and protracted war lasting until 1688, while the1755 Lisbon earthquake destroyed the city and further damaged the empire's economy.

A Portuguese Navy Lynx helicopter

ThePortuguese Naval Aviation (Portuguese:Aviação Naval Portuguesa) constituted theair component of thePortuguese Navy, from 1917 to 1957. ThePortuguese Air Force maritime patrol units and theNavy's Helicopter Squadron (EHM,Esquadrilha de Helicópteros da Marinha) are the present successors of the former Portuguese Naval Aviation.

Although generically referred as "Naval Aviation", the air component of the Navy was officially successively designated "Navy's Aviation Service" (1917–1918), "Naval Aeronautics Service" (1918–1952) and "Aeronaval Forces" (1952–1958). In 1958, the Aeronaval Forces, which were already part of the Air Force - although still under the Navy's operational control and operated by naval personnel - were disbanded and its assets fully integrated in the Portuguese Air Force.

PrincessDona Maria Amélia around age 17, c. 1849

DonaMaria Amélia (1 December 1831 – 4 February 1853) was a princess of theEmpire of Brazil and a member of the Brazilian branch of theHouse of Braganza. Her parents were EmperorPedro I, the first ruler of Brazil, andAmélie of Leuchtenberg. The only child of her father's second marriage, Maria Amélia was born inFrance after Pedro I abdicated the Brazilian throne in favor of his son DomPedro II. Before Maria Amélia was a month old, Pedro I went to Portugal to restore the crown of the eldest daughter of his first marriage, DonaMaria II. He fought a successful war against his brotherMiguel I, who had usurped Maria II's throne.

Only a few months after his victory, Pedro I died fromtuberculosis. Maria Amélia's mother took her to Portugal, where she remained for most of her life without ever visiting Brazil. The Brazilian government refused to recognize Maria Amélia as a member ofBrazil's Imperial House because she was foreign-born, but when her elder half-brother Pedro II was declared of age in 1840, he successfully intervened on her behalf.
