The Kingdom of Portugal was a monarchy in the Iberian Peninsula, in Europe, that existed from 1139 to 1910, being replaced by the Portuguese First Republic. The realm possessed what was known as the Portuguese Empire since 1415, traditionally referring to its vast colonies, that passed under control of the Republic until 1999.
