Abstract

In the second half of the 19th century, Portuguese nationalism responded to the political and ideological movement that favored the union of the Peninsula by launching an intensive campaign to delegitimize the peninsula historicist discourses and providing a nation’s lineal and theological past. The historicist discourse of the liberal peninsular states was developed within these ideological debates.
