THE MISSING SYNTHESIS OF THE HISTORY OF APRIL 25TH, now also available in Spanish. The Carnation Revolution, triggered in Portugal by the military coup of April 25, 1974, was one of the most unique and fascinating moments in contemporary European history.
In a few hours, a military movement conceived for corporate reasons and in reaction to the colonial war ended up overthrowing the longest-lasting dictatorial regime in 20th-century Western Europe and paving the way for an intense and complex process of democratic transition. Between the fall of the dictatorship and the consolidation of democracy, with the approval of a new Constitution in April 1976, only two years passed, a period that transformed Portugal and resonated internationally.
This book offers a rigorous and accessible synthesis of the Carnation Revolution, aimed at readers worldwide who, recognising April 25th as the greatest symbol of freedom in Portugal, now have an overview of the sequence of events, its protagonists and its historical significance.
