Portugal founded by and for Templars. Portugal is described as the only country created by and for the Templars Each time Templars were persecuted, Portugal was their destination Portugal remained neutral during World War II, receiving gold from both Nazis and Allies
The Knights Templar established an early presence in Portugal in the 12th century, arriving around 1128. Portugal is notably where the Templars survived their suppression elsewhere in Europe — they were later reconstituted as the Order of Christ. However, Portugal was not "created specifically by and for the Templars." The Kingdom of Portugal was founded by Afonso Henriques in 1139 (not 1128), with the Templars arriving as allies rather than creators. The claim about WWII gold neutrality cannot be verified from available sources.
