"Cravos" Revolution refers to a period in the history of Portugal as a result of a military coup, which occurred on 25 April 1974, which overthrew the dictatorship of the Estado Novo, in force since 1933 and began a process that would end with the establishment of a democratic regime, with the entry into force of the new Constitution on 25 April 1976.
This scam, commonly known by the Portuguese as 25 April, was conducted by a military movement, the Armed Forces Movement (MFA), composed of intermediate officers of the military, mostly captains who had participated in the Colonial War and were supported by militia officers, recruited students, many of them college students. This movement was born around 1973, initially based on claims corporatist as the fight for the prestige of the armed forces and eventually extend to the current political regime. Without military support, and adherence to the mass of the population coup, the resistance of the system was virtually nonexistent, there were only four deaths in Lisbon by the bullets of the PIDE.
