Wonders of Azores

The Anglo-Portuguese Alliance, established in 1373 through the Treaty of Windsor, stands as the oldest diplomatic alliance still in effect today. Founded on shared interests in trade and security, it has endured through centuries, surviving various historical challenges. Notably, during the Napoleonic Wars and World War II, the alliance was pivotal, with Portugal receiving military support from England and later allowing the Allies to use the Azores strategically. This enduring relationship reflects deep-rooted historical, cultural, and economic ties, highlighting the resilience and significance of international diplomacy and friendship between Portugal and the United Kingdom.
