This concise, illustrated history of Portugal offers an
introduction to the people and culture of the country, its empire,
and its search for economic modernisation, political stability and
international partnership. It remains the standard single-volume
work on Portugal, studying the effects of the vast wealth mined
from Portuguese Brazil, the growth of the wine trade, and the
evolution of international ties. The Portuguese Revolution of 1820
to 1851 created a liberal monarchy, but in 1910 the king was
overthrown and, by 1926, had been replaced by a dictatorship. In
1975, Portugal withdrew from its African colonies and looked north
to become a democratic member of the European Community in 1986.
This third edition brings the story up to date, with a new
afterword to reflect recent changes in Portugal, Europe, and the
wider world.
