History Lovers Talk Lisbon

The Carnation Revolution.....

Join us for an inspiring History Lovers Talk on the Carnation Revolution, a turning point in our history. We will revisit the long shadows of Salazar’s dictatorship, the oppression of the political police (PIDE), and the heavy toll of the Colonial War that sparked the fire of rebellion.
We will uncover the bravery behind the Armed Forces Movement (MFA), from their clandestine meetings to the strategic military maneuvers that took the streets of Lisbon on April 25 of 1974. It is a story of secret codes, courage, and the peaceful overthrow of a regime that changed Portugal forever.
