Ex libris Ut videam Ano 1926 x 1936 da Revolucao Nacional

The National Revolution of 1926 in Portugal marked the end of the country’s unstable First Republic and the beginning of an authoritarian era. Triggered by widespread political chaos, economic instability, and social unrest, the military coup on 28 May 1926 brought a coalition of conservative and nationalist forces to power. This led to the establishment of a dictatorship that eventually evolved into the Estado Novo regime under António de Oliveira Salazar. The revolution aimed to restore order and traditional values, setting Portugal on a path of authoritarian rule that lasted until the Carnation Revolution in 1974.
