General information

Portugal, a country with a rich history of seafaring and discovery, looks out from the Iberian peninsular into the Atlantic Ocean. When it handed over its last overseas territory, Macau, to Chinese administration in 1999, it brought to an end a long and some times turbulent era as a colonial power.

For almost half of the 20th century Portugal was a dictatorship in which for decades Antonio de Oliveira Salazar was the key figure. The dictatorship's stubborn refusal to relinquish its grip on the former colonies as demands for independence gained momentum there resulted in expensive wars in Africa.

The Revolution of the Carnations in 1974 ushered in a new democracy. By the end of 1975 all of Portugal's former colonies in Africa were independent of Lisbon.
