In the early 20th century, Portugal was facing political instability under the constitutional monarchy. Various social and economic issues led to growing discontent among the population. A group of revolutionaries, including military officials and civilians, organized a coup to overthrow the monarchy and establish the First Portuguese Republic.
Following a successful revolution, the monarchy was abolished, and a provisional government was formed to oversee the transition. The new republic aimed to modernize the country, promote secularism, and improve social conditions. Despite initial optimism, the republic faced challenges in consolidating power and satisfying the diverse interests of the population.
The establishment of the First Portuguese Republic marked a significant shift in Portugal's political landscape. It brought an end to centuries of monarchy and opened a new chapter in the country's history. The republic's legacy continues to influence Portuguese politics and society to this day.
