​@@napoleonbuonaparte8975 ?

Yall brazilians always gotta bring up brazil in any video about portugal its incredible

The abolition of slavery was more of a secundary reason for the fall of the monarchy. It was the military class and the urban sectors of the society that came together in opposition of the monarchical regime. The military because they felt that the political class of the Empire was repressing the army, and the urban sectors because they felt the country was lagging behind due to corruption and economic stagnation. So they rallied under the republican movement that was gaining ground since 1870 and by the very end of the 1880's they deposed the monarchy in rushed coup d'état that ended working perfectly, and so the Republic was officially proclaimed in the City Hall of Rio de Janeiro in the evening of 15th of November 1889. The wealthy rural oligarchy who was more affected by the abolition of slavery and was discontent with the monarchy only joined against the regime at the very end and didn't have major effect in the outcome of the ousting of the monarchy. They will however, have an important role in the country's government in the first years of the Republic tho.

Portanto o problema não é o regime mas sim a quase total persistência de governos incompetentes nos últimos 20-25 anos. É preciso também ter em conta que estamos a fazer referência a dados macroeconómicos que não eram verdadeiramente sentidos pelo povo pois grande parte do crescimento ou era gasto nos esforços da Guerra Colonial ou era perdido para as elites corruptas do regime e oligopólios. Caetano tentou mudar isso com uma espécie de "capitalismo à chinesa", mas já era tarde demais... *divida representava 12% do PIB moeda era a 6º mais forte do mundo* Normal que a dívida apenas representasse 12% do PIB quando não era feito quase nenhum investimento, tirando aquele para efeitos de propaganda. Já a moeda ser forte não é verdadeiramente um argumento pois o escudo tinha um valor claramente manipulado. Assim que as ferramentas de manipulação desapareceram em 1974 o escudo colapsou e seguiram-se anos de inflação superior a 25% que só acabariam com as reformas de Cavaco Silva na década de 1980.

Salazar despejou montes de dinheiro na guerra colonial para não perder as colónias. Ele fez isso porque se perdêssemos as colónias, tudo o que o regime dele defendia ia por cano abaixo. Já deves ter visto aquele cartaz antigo da época de Salazar que dizia "Portugal não é um país pequeno", e tinha um mapa com as nossas colónias a mostrar o quão grandes as mesmas eram. Se Portugal perdesse essas colónias, Portugal ia tornar-se um país pequeno e insignificante, e muito provavelmente iria acontecer o que aconteceu com a monarquia, o regime de Salazar seria destruído.

Well, Salazar was in power before 1932. It was from 1928-1968, 40 years, and the regime lasted another 6 years.

Very interesting, similar to Franco.Nothing better if you're into spying and torture

Not hard Gaddafi did much more

south korea actually had an economic miracle, I'd rather live there

Salazar was never a dictator. His party was dictatorial. Salazar was a statesperson, one of the best in the world ever. He was forced to cooperate under risk of death. This is a man who lived with his mother until late in his life, he publicly admitted to eat bean soup every day a fact that funnily got proved. He was a very humble and intelligent man that sadly had no choice but to cooperate with the authoritarian party. He came on the cover of time magazine as one of the greatest statespersons ever. Not an easy feat. He alone decides the outcome of the second world war by declaring neutrality and not forcing Franco to join the axis powers. Had Portugal been in the war, Franco would have joined the axis powers early on and the story would have been much different. But he still did show support to the allied forces, as Portuguese people starved to provide grain and hemp and wood and many other resources for the allied military, mainly Britain and France.

​@@user-cx9nc4pj8wThat miracle is called American capitalism. See how Americanised their society become. And they hate it.

@@Icneumone7 I'm aware of all that but Salazar was still a dictator. Being the head of a dictatorial party makes him a dictator wether he wants ot or not.

As someone who will be moving to Portugal, the main thing that saddens me is that people even agree with CHEGA.

His supporters are proud of Ventura’s Nazi salutes in public and false narratives backed by misinterpreted statistics.

@fatkrab7556 criticize chega for having or not having sound economy? No, it's cause they're mean to Africans !! 🤡🤡

Well, when you're a small militarily weak country in the middle of WW2 (Sweden, Switzerland, Spain) If you want to not get invaded you need to keep both sides happy. Or at the very least not make either one too upset with you. The Germans had a plan to take over Portugal, Operation Isabella. And the US and British considered occupying the Azores the way they did Iceland.

Salazar is a poor businessman with the powerful ones: Germany, Spain, British, and USA.

He also allowed over a million people to flee the Reich Occupied Europe through Lisbon. Right under the noses of Allied AND Axis intelligence. He did as much as he could for the greater good while walking on a tightrope and not showing his hand. He was a simple man. Thats what I think makes him such an interesting figure in Portuguese History. He was the last person you would ever assume would rise to leadership. He just fell into it. He didn't want glory. He didn't want power. But when he fell into it he was afraid to lose it before Portugal was ready. The Cold War era and colonial wars really put an asterisk next to his name. But I will always appreciate the part Dr. Salazar played for humanity. He wasn't a hero. He wasn't a villain either. He was a just a man. A man who loved his people, his nation, and his God.

Omg

Honestly if Salazar had just gave independence to Guinea he would probably manage to keep the rest of the colonies all the way to the end of the cold war, Amílcar Cabral and the PAIG were extremely good at fighting, controlling most of Guinea with ease, Guinea was small and had not much value but their leaders knew how to lead and turned Guinea into a Portuguese Army Meat Grinder Spinola wrote "Portugal e o Futuro" based on his fighting in Guinea, Amílcar Cabral put the Portuguese Army to shame there.

@@jackyex True, then he was kicked out after the War and fled to Portugal. It then devolved into Civil War (After they massacred a couple African collaborators.). Very nice.

If you understand portuguese see the podcast "E O RESTO É HISTÓRIA" - episode " A foto mistériosa da secretária de Salazar " There the historian Rui Ramos explains why that does not mean that Salazar was a fascis. He also tells very detailed the history of the country in 1932-39

And one of Hitler by his bed side

because he was a good guy

It’s difficult to justify considering Salazar as a “good guy” given his repression of women’s rights, suppression of freedom of speech, utilization of a secret police for torture and murder of dissenters, and the exploitative and racist policies toward colonies to bolster his own regime.

A strength that caused 5 million refugees fleeing from the colonies because he wouldn't admit independence

Still Portugal was poor, he should've used that gold don't u think?

Ya, mas a cena da economia ser boa é também exagerada, pois embora tenha "crescido" foi de uma forma muito desigual, e o crescimento podia ter sido muito maior se ele abandonasse o corporativismo e abrisse a economia. Os meus avós paternos fugiriam a pé para França, os meus maternos não sei muito, mas o meu avô participou no 25 de abril

Salazar was a very controversial and polarizing figure, people either hated or loved him and he admired Adolf Hitler to the point where he punished one of his ministers who assisted in helping Jews escape the Nazis. Most of my relatives spoke frequently of the crushing poverty and the secret police, even in the churches. Salazar was a Fascist Dictator, not someone to admire.

O Marcello Caetano abriu a economia, acabou com a pide, deu reformas aos idosos e abriu as fronteiras. O país cresceu super rápido no mandato. A paga que o povo lhe deu foi um golpe de estado e o exílio.

Not quite. The Crown Prince was known as Príncipe da Beira, as in GB one currently has the title Prince of Wales. The legitimate offspring of the Portuguese King/Queen would all be given the title of Infante/Infanta. Ps. Likewise, I believe Leonor of Spain, as heir presumptive, is known as Princess of Asturias, and both she and her sister are Infantas of the Spanish Royal household.

@@renatopinto3186 Exato! Acabei por confundir a informação.

The male heir to the Portuguese throne is styled as HRH The Duke of Braganza, as well as HRH The Prince Royal in a functioning monarchy, and never as Crown Prince or Infante. Infante/a is reserved for the younger royal siblings.

🤨

For the worse reasons

not really, there was no war in Cabo Verde, São Tomé and Príncipe, Timor, Macau or portuguese India. We just gave the first three cause some dumb people wanted to.

There was no "Liberation by the people". The Carnation Revolution was made by the army. It was organized by the army (Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho and a few more) and executed by the army (the name Salgueiro Maia should be familiar to you). Besides, most of the people in the major cities and in Alentejo were happy with the revolution the army made, yes, but not everybody felt that way. In 1975 the country was at the brink of a civil war. COPCON used PIDE-like repression and people in places like Rio Maior and throughout Northern Portugal began to attack the left-wing parties' headquarters. Also, Portuguese people from Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and Mozambique were not happy with the revolution. Those who could run away from independence came to mainland Portugal or went to South Africa. Those who couldn't were either killed or had to join the non-Communist guerrillas (FNLA, RENAMO). The ones who came to mainland Portugal were labelled as "Fascists" for many years precisely because they were against the Carnation Revolution - and they too were part of "the people". Both white and black. Black, yes. This may surprise you, but the number of black Portuguese who fought in the ranks of the Portuguese army against the "Liberation" movements was very large and there were units composed exclusively of these people (African Commandos - mainly in Guinea -, Flechas - mainly in Angola -, GEP - mainly in Mozambique). And don't forget to add entire ethnical groups to the tally, such as the Bushmen (the original population of Angola) and the Bailundos. Another fact that should be food for thought: in 1973, in Mozambique, the number of Mozambique-born recruits was higher than the number of Mainland Portugal-born recruits. But there was censorship and the PIDE, yes. Portugal was not a Western-type democracy, no. But it was still less brutal towards the opposition than the Communist countries and, at a certain point, at the same level as the USA (see McCarthyism, or WW2 when Americans of Japanese descent were interned in concentration camps). But you wouldn't have problems with PIDE if you were against the Government UNLESS they suspected you were a Communist - that was the context of the Cold War. The approximate number of PIDE agents and informers is a mere 3,400. Some people say 20,000 but the only written list that was ever found shows about 3,400 names. And the combined population of Mainland Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde and Guinea Bissau was about 25,000,000 people. Therefore, it's ridiculous to say that Portugal was a police state and that there was a PIDE member or informer in every corner. We're talking about 1 agent or informer per more than 7,000 people!!!!

@@PauloTheWinger11 A questão não era apenas "POLÍTICA." Foi social e cultural. O regime Salazarista, que durou meio século, tornou os Portugueses incrivelmente tacanhos, fracos, medrosos, ignorantes e incultos. Submissos à igreja Católica e agarrados às saias das mãezinhas. Infantis, malucos por futebol. Ainda hoje se nota isso. Qualquer dorzinha de nada, vão logo correr para as urgências dos hospitais, sempre metidos nos médicos. É uma coisa absolutamente deprimente. Vivi na Suécia e na Alemanha, e percebi que, em geral, os cidadãos Nórdicos de 20 e poucos anos são MUITO MAIS À FRENTE que Portugueses com idade para terem juízo. Eu tenho amigos com 40 anos e até mais a viverem em casa da mãezinha, e acham perfeitamente normal. Por certo que o Estado Novo é muito culpado de tudo isso e muito mais. Em 1974, literalmente, metade dos Portugueses eram analfabetos. Em plena Europa Ocidental, 30 anos depois do fim da II Guerra Mundial. Que mais há a dizer? As pessoas focam-se quase sempre, apenas, na história política ou até económica, e esquecem-se de avaliar as consequências, repito, CULTURAIS e SOCIAIS dos regimes. E em termos económicos, o Salazarismo era outro desastre. Pobreza por todo o lado, enfim.

@@HeathenDance a História de Portugal não começou com Salazar. Antes dele, após a miséria que foram os séculos XVIII (um terramoto que literalmente arrasou o país, tendo sido sentido até na Irlanda) o séc. XIX (perda do Brasil, invasões, massacres, terra queimada, seguidos de uma guerra civil e várias revoltas populares esmagadas com sangue), veio então a 1ª República, durante a qual houve muita fome e uma crise económica pior. Isto (a miséria e a violência sofridas) tornou o nosso povo fraco e submisso, não o Estado Novo. O nosso povo já era descrito como sendo assim por escritores como Pascoaes, muito antes de Salazar. Malucos por futebol é agora. Por exemplo, no tempo de Salazar, o hóquei em patins era tão popular quanto o futebol, o ciclismo dava cartas (as populações paravam para ver passar a Volta a Portugal) e os deportos tradicionais (chinquilho, por exemplo) estavam por toda a parte. Não me venha também com a Fátima e com o Fado, (três F), pois isso também são mitos: para além do fado havia o folclore (altamente promovido) e surgiram as primeiras bandas pop e rock na década de 60, caso dos Sheiks, entre outros (onde, já agora, as mulheres começaram a andar de mini-saia e biquini, havendo fotos que o demonstram). Fátima e a religião podem ser considerados alienantes, mas hoje ao domingo também vai tudo para o shopping alienado prestar culto ao Deus-consumo (prefiro o Deus de Fátima, que ao menos ensina valores espirituais). Analfabetismo? Os dados relativos a 1970 (Pordata, etc.) indicam analfabetismo MUITO INFERIOR a metade da população (24%, sobretudo idosos) e muito inferior ao período pré-Salazar.. Em termos económicos, não foi desastre nenhum: salvou Portugal da bancarrota, e todos os dados indicam crescimento ano após ano. Pobreza havia (as pessoas do campo tinham 6 e 7 filhos, se fosse hoje e tivessem o mesmo número de filhos também seriam pobres). Mas também foi com Salazar e as milhares de escolas que ele construiu que foram lançadas as bases para uma classe média forte, que tivemos durante as décadas de 70, 80 e 90. Há que ter em mente que Salazar apanhou um país SÉCULOS atrasado em relação à generalidade da Europa Ocidental. Se em 1970 o país estava 20 anos atrasado em relação a esses países.... pois, Roma e Pavia não se fizeram num dia. De referir contudo, que países como Malta e a Irlanda não eram mais avançados do que nós, e não tiveram lá Salazar nenhum. É sempre complicado um país periférico evoluir tão rapidamente quanto os outros. Em suma, estude mais um bocadinho e não vá atrás de tudo aquilo que ouve.

Ah, e na questão do isolacionismo, isso também é falso. Fomos membros-fundadores da NATO e da EFTA, ou não fomos? A expressão "Orgulhosamente sós" aplicou-se num contexto específico, quando os nossos "aliados"norte-americanos votaram contra nós na ONU e o Reino Unido e a França se abstiveram.

tf? portugal isn't catholic

@@yvonetubla7682 From the Cultural Atlas website: "Today, the vast majority of Portuguese identify as Roman Catholic (81%).1 However, most consider themselves as non-practising. For many, national and cultural identity is often linked to Catholicism, rather than purely a religious affiliation. Of the remaining population, 3.3% identify with some other denomination of Christianity, 0.6% identify with some other religion (including those who identify as Jewish or Muslim), 6.8% identify with no religion, and 8.3% did not specify a religious affiliation.2 ... ...However, apart from major celebrations, church attendance is quite low. Generally, people who reside in cities and larger towns (particularly in Lisbon and the south) are less involved in the daily practice of Catholicism. On the other hand, those residing in central and northern Portugal tend to show their religiosity more. For example, attendance of Mass, honouring saints, processions and celebrating religious holidays are participated in more devoutly. ‘Romarias’ (pilgrimages) to regional shrines are also a core religious practice, especially in northern Portugal ..." 1 Central Intelligence Agency, 2020 2 Central Intelligence Agency, 2020 Okay, it's culturally Catholic. Only 6.8% of people call themselves atheist or agnostic. I, and most people, would call that Catholic. What's your criteria? 70% attendance at daily mass? A majority of schools and businesses starting the day with a rosary and saying the Angelus in the afternoon? Tax breaks for families who have members take Holy Orders?

and many of those resources were used to keep the country quiet and whoever challenged the state was taken prisioner and tortured.

False claims. The generations born after he took power quickly achieved literacy. He made far more progress in literacy than did the Republican government before him Also the economy was growing more than 4% YoY during his regime. It was never “ruined”

This is true however Portugal had always been poor, he was trying slowly, and so stably, to let it go up. The Portuguese economy was growing under him (It had an outdated railway and poor industry.), Salazar was known for frugality which is still born out.

And Germany makes sure to criminalize any nazi remnants that show up, and they actually affected the whole world. Salazar closed the country on it self, having most people as uneducated as possible to make anyone easy to control. He was a pile of shit, responsible for thousands of death people, had whole villages massacred in Africa during the colonial war, used his political police to torture anyone speaking up against him, had a concentration camp in Africa for political adversaries, where those who tried to escape, would be put in a metal box under the sun, to be cooked alive for days... even if he had done something good, he was responsible for crimes against humanity, and that should have never been forgotten!

Dolfuss was dictactor os Austria, Catholic, he wanted to restore the Austrian empire and he hated Hitler, that's why he was killed

He may not have liked the radicalism of the Portuguese republicans, but he wasn’t a fan of the king either.

@@crusader2112 and that’s a problem. Even Franco hated the house of Bourbon but still restored him when all options were exhausted (specifically the Habsburg opting out)

@@ImperiumMagistrate Well, Salazar still was based, it’s just his succession where he messed up. P.S. I’m not really a Monarchist either. Executive for life with referendums every 10 years is what I’d prefer. I’m American.

​@@crusader2112 EVERY MAN A KING!

@@thorpeaaron1110 BUT NONE SHALL WEAR A CROWN!

Revolução de cobardes que nao queriam cumprir o dever lmao

Perfect.

He became a dictator for a reason too.

Poor Salazar :'( Mate, please educate yourself. Entre nós, tugas, vai pro caralho. Lê, informa-te, pensa..por ti. Pensa...

So he was a Spartan Catholic dictator. Cute.

@@HolyknightVader999 yeah, there's Buda and then Salazar

Sure buddy… 😂😂😂

sim infelizmente

Talvez não tanto como os americanos.

Não atacamos o país, atacamos os governantes, o que não é a mesma coisa.

A wild Le Français appears:

Não.

This just in, Spanish republicanism is still dead.

@@hubertusvenator5838 And thank God for that. Spanish Republicans were so bad that they drove the country into Franco's hands.

@count kalergi a cadeira de Finanças Públicas , em Coimbra é leccionada desde um ponto de vista jurídico , dando bastante ênfase , ao que hoje em dia chamamos lei de enquadramento orçamental ( Leo ) . Durante o Estado Novo o método/doutrina de equilíbrio orçamental vigente diferia bastante ao que a Leo atual prevê .

No

@@icommitarson as in voted by the majority of Portuguese people in 2007

​​@@anakin3060 the poll was conducted in a Right Wing manifestation

@@costa2k1 Actually that contest was conducted by RTP, Portuguese State Television, a pro-Socialist tv state run tv channel.
