Anyone on here know much about it? Question prompted by idle curiosity, sparked by the references to Franco on the "fascism/cool" thread.
My vague understanding is that Portugal was a fascist dictatorship for a period broadly approximating to that of Franco's rule in Spain. Yet I have no clue who their leader was, without googling/checking Wiki. How come there is no Portuguese name to be mentioned alongside Mussolini, Franco etc?
And is it right that Portuguese fascism collapsed almost simultaneously with the collapse of fascism in Spain? Coincidence or far from it?
