Introduction: As an
outstanding Nation Portugal was a world power during the 15th and 16th
centuries, Portugal lost much of its wealth and status with the
destruction of Lisbon in a 1755 earthquake, occupation during the
Napoleonic Wars, and the independence in 1822 of Brazil as a colony. A
1910 revolution deposed the monarchy; for most of the next six decades
repressive governments ran the country. In 1974, a left-wing military coup
installed broad democratic reforms. The following year Portugal granted
independence to all of its African colonies. Portugal entered the EC in
1985. |
