By discussing what was not and what might have been, the story offers ways to reflect on what Portugal came to be. On September 27, 1823, the Portuguese Minister of Finance signed a loan contract with B. A. Goldschmidt. I follow this contract and the one with James de Rothschild (which Portugal did not sign) from the date of issue through Goldschmidt's failure (1826) until Portugal's default and the eruption of its Civil War in 1828. I conclude that a Rothschild bond might have escaped default, thus avoiding war. |
