The history of Lusotanie dates back 800,000 years when the first Neanderthal tribes arrived in the territory. These tribes lived in a primitive and tribal manner, being nomadic and surviving through hunting, fishing, and gathering. In 30,000 BCE, Homo sapiens began to replace the Neanderthals, a process completed by 25,000 BCE. By 5000 BCE, the first sedentary settlements were established, with significant advancements in agriculture, livestock farming, and craftsmanship. However, these settlements were independent of one another, lacking large-scale organization. This would not occur until 20 BCE, with the formation of the County of Gallenia, which was the first to unite several settlements, centralizing power and considered the seed of the current country. The county gradually expanded, forming the Duchy of Gallenia in 1120 AD and the United Kingdom of Gallenia in 1323 AD. During the 14th and 15th centuries, strong military and economic development allowed for longer-distance sea navigation to discover new territories. In 1492 AD, the Lusotanian Empire was formed, leading to significant expansion, conquering the northern part of the country, the islands of Guaan, and the Mesino archipelago. Thus, the country reached a territorial extent similar to the current one.

During the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, Lusotanie experienced a great period of peace and prosperity, characterized by significant growth in trade, centralization of power, and the flourishing of art and science. These centuries were known as the "Golden Centuries." Political and social reforms were implemented, culminating in 1645 with the establishment of a parliamentary monarchy for the first time. The bourgeoisie began to gain power, gradually overshadowing the nobility and clerical classes. Lusotanie implemented quite progressive policies for its time, including allowing women to own property starting in 1761.
In the early 18th century, a more liberal movement began to take hold in society, advocating for individual freedom, the protection of private property, and equality before the law. This movement became known as "Libertan Reformism." At the beginning of the 18th century, the monarchy still retained many privileges, which displeased the bourgeois classes, who already held greater economic power. This, coupled with the relative weakness of the monarchy, led to a military uprising against the monarchy in 1819, supported by the bourgeoisie. Thus began the so-called "War of the Militias," which lasted until 1821 with a bourgeois victory, leading to the declaration of the First Republic of Lusotanie.
This new political regime stripped the monarchy of all power, consolidating a republican system and executing the royal family. The regime advocated for a technocratic government in which only those deemed "sensible and intelligent" could vote. This led to the concentration of power in a small bourgeois and military elite, excluding intellectuals and the lower classes as they were considered "morally inferior." Additionally, systemic racism continued from the Imperial era, with Black and Asian individuals being considered inferior.
In 1894, after more than half a decade of bourgeois-military rule, a new coup d'état sparked the "War of Liberty," which ended in 1896. The lower classes, supported by intellectuals and small merchants, rebelled against the established power. The rebellion ended in victory, leading to the declaration of the Second Republic of Lusotanie in 1896. This regime enacted significant reforms, including granting the right to vote to all adult males, completely abolishing slavery and servitude, and guaranteeing equality before the law for all inhabitants. Additionally, a stronger process of industrialization began, which, although it had started in the mid-19th century, gained more relevance during this period.

The history of Lusotanie dates back 800,000 years when the first Neanderthal tribes arrived in the territory.
