| | This period was brought to an end in 1974 in a bloodless coup, known as the 'Revolution of the Carnations', which ushered in a new democracy. | | | Because Portugal was a dictatorship for almost half of the 20th century, under the leadership of Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, the rulers' stubborn refusal to relinquish their grip on the former colonies as demands for independence gained momentum there resulted in expensive wars in Africa. | | | By the end of 1975, all of Portugal's former colonies in Africa were independent of Lisbon but the 200 million Portuguese speakers around the world today are an obvious legacy of Portugal's colonial past. |
