Portugal and the Carnation Revolution Part 2
from Europe and Liberal Democracy
In this episode, I begin by discussing the Carnation Revolution itself. Next, I discuss the political dysfunction that comes after the coup. Additionally, I talk about the issue of the colonies for the new Portuguese government, whose main goal was to end colonial wars. Through all of this I mention the huge influence Europe had on Portugal throughout this whole experience.Bibliography:Giniger, Henry. "Portugal’s Socialist Party Pulls out of Government."
