50 years ago today, what started as a military coup in #Portugal had already become a full-fledged revolution. It's the #25deAbril revolution.
The revolution put an end to 48 years of #fascist dictatorship and 13 years of colonial wars. The military were fed up with the regime's repression, censorship, backwardness, and of fighting a stupid war nobody wanted in other peoples' land, and that could not be won.
They didn't kill anyone during the coup. Only the regime's political police killed 4.
