Ditadura Nacional

Common card · No. 206056

The Ditadura Nacional (Portuguese pronunciation: [ditɐˈðuɾɐ nɐsiuˈnal], National Dictatorship) was the regime that governed Portugal from the end of the First Portuguese Republic with the 28 May 1926 coup d'état, until the adoption of a new constitution in 1933 that ushered in the so-called Estado Novo. The term Ditadura Militar is also used by some to describe the first stages of the dictatorship, while other authors use it for the entire period. The Ditadura Nacional and Estado Novo together constitute the historiographical period known as the Second Portuguese Republic, which lasted until 25 April 1974.
