 Chapter 23: A History of Spain and Portugal, vol. 2
It was composed of the top leaders of the Portuguese Republican party (PRP), which had engineered the overthrow of the monarchy, under the interim presidency of Teofilo Braga, a cultural historian and leading Republican ideologue.
Portuguese anarcho-syndicalism, weak [562] in numbers and largely limited to Lisbon and Porto, greeted the coming of the Republic not as a new era of freedom but as another phase in the revolutionary struggle against the "bourgeois state" in which the latter had suddenly become more vulnerable.
The British government was interested in the support of the Portuguese artillery, the least inadequate branch of the Portuguese military, but knew that the army of its small ally was of scant value and made it clear that the diplomatic alliance did not require Portugal's entrance into the war.

 The Political History of Twentieth-Century Portugal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The armed forces, whose political awareness had grown during the war, and many of whose leaders had not forgiven the PRP for sending it to a war it did not want to fight, seemed to represent, to conservative forces, the last bastion of ‘order’ against the ‘chaos’ that was taking over the country.
Portuguese historiography has been attracted by smaller and more marginal movements and parties, especially those which enjoyed some continuity with the parties on the political scene after 1974.
Nevertheless, historians have focused on republican movements attempting to overthrow the military dictatorship and the nascent New State (Cruz, 1986; Farinha, 1998) and on the extremely durable PCP (José Pacheco Pereira, 1993; Raby, 1990; Cunha, 1992; Madeira, 1996).

 France at War - Portugal in the Great War
Both the Portuguese public opinion and the Republican leaders were thus still very reluctant to acknowledge as an ally a country which had inflicted upon the Portuguese Nation as a whole what was regarded as one of the greatest humiliations of its history.
Thus, despite skirmishes between German and Portuguese colonial troops and tribal revolts in Africa instigated by Germany were taking place since August 1914, in the same month the Portuguese government, under pressure from Britain, declared its neutrality, while reaffirming that the country was still bound by its old alliance with the United Kingdom.
The remnants of the shattered Portuguese units retreated in disarray, leaving their dead and wounded and artillery behind, in such a way that the 2nd Division HQ, acting as a rallying point for the broken units, and now exposed, had to relocate twice during 9 April.

 The Republican Party and racism: from the "southern strategy" to Bush   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
It was Richard Nixon who, after the landslide defeat of Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater in 1964, sought to reorient the Republican Party to the white racist elements in the southern states.
The Republican Party took up the long-time political methods of the southern Democrats, using racial demagogy to tie impoverished white workers and small farmers to the ruling aristocracy.
From then on, the Republican Party cemented its domination of the South, and especially of the states of the Deep South, which were the poorest and most backward in terms of social conditions, and where segregation and racial terror were practiced in the harshest form.

 Portuguese political flags
Non-national parties are forbidden by the portuguese constitution and electoral legislation, that only recently was revised to open up the possibility of citizen’s lists for local organs.
In the first elections in which the party participated, it got more than 20% of the votes and the third parlamentary group, but soon lost its support, electing less than 10 members of parliament in the next elections and none in the next, dissolving itself shortly after that.
In Portugal an Humanist party is under way (or already created and legalized, I don’t know), and their leadership gave a press conference a while ago where the flag was seen.

 Bush debacle in Michigan primary election deepens crisis in Republican Party
The upset of the Republicans' supposed presidential frontrunner, Texas Governor George W. Bush, in the February 22 Michigan primary election has intensified the crisis of the Republican Party and prolonged the contest between Bush and his opponent for the party's nomination, Arizona Senator John McCain.
The Republican Party establishment settled early on George W. Bush as its choice for the party's presidential nomination.
Bush was crowned by the media as the consensus Republican nominee more than a year before the nominating convention, and half of his challengers quit the race before any votes were cast, since they were unable to raise sufficient funds to oppose him.

 The First Republic (1910 -1926)
The first republican constitution marked a return to the liberal principles of 1820-1822: parliamentary elections by direct suffrage, the sovereignty of the nation and the separation and three-way division of political powers.
The Democratic Party systematically won the elections to Congress (except in 1921) and was a dominant presence in state administration, restricting access to power by other party forces, except in short-lived coalitions.
The National Republican Party was set up (later changing its name to the Nationalist Party), and won the elections to Congress in 1918, although Monarchists and Catholics continued to represent a significant minority.

According to critic Jacinto do Prado Coelho, the Generation of 70 was also important to the formation of the Spanish Generation of 98.
