The leftist military launched the Carnation Revolution in Portugal against the dictatorship

50

years ago

25 April 1974,

In Portugal, the Carnation Revolution began. It was a military uprising driven by left-wing movements against dictatorship, which, with the protection of the citizens, restored democracy and allowed the independence of the Portuguese colonies. The sign of the uprising was to place the song Grândola Vila Morena on Radio Renascença.

The dictatorship of over 50 years was unable to defend its power and collapsed within 24 hours. Women were given the same rights as men and were able to vote for the first time. All political prisoners were also released immediately.

1906During the disturbances, the suffragettes claimed the right to vote for women in the UK House of Commons

1993One million people for the liberation of lesbians, gays and bisexuals in the American capital

2013Hundreds of thousands of Bangladeshi workers protested to denounce the Rana Square massacre the previous day
