How Did 6,600 Portuguese Stop 31,000 Invaders? Battle of Aljubarrota 1385 History Documentary

Описание: How Did 6,600 Portuguese Stop 31,000 Invaders? | Battle of Aljubarrota 1385 | History Documentary
In this History Documentary, we break down the Battle of Aljubarrota (1385)—the moment a smaller Portuguese army held its ground against a vastly larger Castilian-led invasion. How did King João I of Portugal and Nuno Álvares Pereira turn a single hill into a battlefield where numbers couldn’t fully deploy? And why did timing, coalition friction, and terrain control matter more than raw manpower?

You’ll see the story in a clear, TV-friendly structure:

The succession crisis after King Ferdinand I (1383)

The race to prevent a second siege of Lisbon

The map and terrain that created a narrow approach

Three turning points that explain why the larger army broke

The aftermath: independence secured, and the path toward the Treaty of Windsor (1386)
