In 2010, the country was on the verge of economic collapse and the government was forced to develop an anti-crisis program. Austerity and anti-crisis measures are still in force in Portugal today. The history of Portugal as an independent state begins with the XII century, when, thanks to the efforts of Afonso I, the former feudal lot of Castile became an independent kingdom. Since the XIII century, Portugal gradually gained strength and by the XV century reached its heyday. Thanks to the great geographical discoveries (XV - the first half of the XVI century), the country found new lands in America, Africa, India and China. In the second half of the XVI century, Portugal began to decline and eventually the country fell under Spanish rule, which lasted about 60 years. Portugal became a republic in 1910, joined the European Union in 1986 and switched to the euro in 2002.
