Extractions: In 1926, a military coup caused by harsh political and economic conditions, and a disastrous intervention by Portugal's rulers in WW1, was followed by the dictatorship of Antonio de Oliveira Salazar. Dissatisfaction with the Salazar regime and the colonial war in Africa led to a peaceful military coup in 1974 and the end of Portugal's colonial history followed in 1975/76 when all but two of its colonies won independence. Between 1970 and 1980 there were extreme swings between the political left and right, but the fact that Portugal joined the EU (in 1986) gave the country a certain degree of stability. It was host to the EXPO in 1998 and to the European Football championships in 2004; in 2001, it became European Capital of Culture.

Portugal Travel Guide Portugal history has origins dating back to the early Middle Ages. It was in the 15th and 16th centuries that it gained ascendancy as a world power status. Around this time it had become a vast empire which included possessions in South America, Africa and Asia. The combination of the Napoleonic Wars and the loss of its largest colony, Brazil in 1822 weakened the country. Today, Portugal has become a founding member of NATO, OECD, and EFTA and entered the European Community in 1986. Early History Discovery of Portugal Decline of the Empire The 17th century witnesses large emigration of the Portuguese to Brazil. So much so that by 1709, John V had to prohibit emigration since Portugal had lost a sizeable fraction of its population. Nineteenth Century Crises There was a French invasion under General Junot when Portugal refused the demand made by Napoleon to accede to the continental System of embargo against the United Kingdom. Lisbon was subsequently captured on the first of December, 1807. It took the British intervention in the Peninsular War to restore Portuguese independence. The last of the French troops were expelled in 1812. The province of Olivenca was taken over by Spain. Rio de Janeiro in present day Brazil was the Portuguese capital between 1808 and 1821. It was after the declaration of independence of Brazil from Portugal in 1822 that Lisbon gained its status as the capital of Portugal. From 1826 there was a crisis of Royal succession with neither the Portuguese nor the Brazilians in favor of a unified monarchy. It was finally in 1834 that after the Liberal Wars that eventually Miguel was forced to abdicate and go into exile and offer the throne to his daughter as Queen MariaII.
