By the time the Salazar regime collapsed, tiny Portugal was supporting a military establishment of more than 200,000 men. At the peak, the Salazar regime spent half the national budget on war-fighting in Africa. https://t.co/8MYubVibci 3/x — PolitiTweet.org

These right-wing accounts represent the Salazar regime as a quiet idyll of Catholic orderliness. In fact, Salazar's state spent the final 15 years of its existence committed to wars of appalling violence and enormous cost in life and money. 2/x — PolitiTweet.org

Rather than be conscripted into Salazar's wars, Portuguese fled the country. In 1960, metropolitan Portugal had a population of about 8.8 million. Over the next 14 years, about 1.5 million people would emigrate from Salazar's Portugal. 4/x https://t.co/cbRdCJJ8QX — PolitiTweet.org
