Description:
In this video we'll have a look on the conflict between Spain and Portugal. Well it's not really a conflict, but more a border dispute that dates back to 1801. For more than 700 years, the border between Portugal and Spain remained preatty much the same, with one exception: Olivença. This area was part of Portugal until the spanish troops conquered it in the War of the oranges.
Later, in 1815, Spain agreed to give back the city of Olivenca to Portugal, but they never did it. That's why Portugal are still claiming the are, although it is part of Spain.
But we'll talk more about all of this in this video, so make sure you do not miss it.
Feel free to write your opinion about this in the commnets.
Hope you'll enjoy the video!

Transcript:
Why Spain and Portugal are both claiming this town? You see, the border between Spain and Portugal is almost identical as the one defined in 1297, being the oldest geopolitical border in the world, after the border of Andorra.
But for 18 kilometers, the border is not defined and this is because Olivença was under Portuguese sovereignty from 1297 until 1801 when the Spanish and French troops took the town during the war of the oranges.
In 1815, during the Vienna Treaty, Spain promised to give the city of Olivença back to Portugal, but this never happened.
Although both Spain and Portugal are part of EU and Schengen Area and the border is practically not existent, this still represents a border dispute as Portugal does not recognize Spanish sovereignty over the territory. This is one of the few border disputes in western Europe, do you know others?
