La Révolution des Œillets

At the turn of the 1970s, with Portugal having been ruled for nearly half a century by an uncompromising dictatorship, a handful of officers decided to risk everything to liberate their country. Working in the shadows of the regime, they plotted a coup d'état unprecedented in history. This coup would soon give rise to a revolution: the Carnation Revolution, which overthrew the Salazar regime in a single day, April 25, 1974, without bloodshed.
