Marcelo Caetano, Prime Minister (portugal) : All Data

Marcelo Caetano was the Prime Minister of the Portuguese Republic during the Estado Novo regime from 1968 to 1974. His rule coincided with the Portuguese Colonial War (1961-1974), a conflict fought between Portugal and its African colonies, including Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau. This war was marked by guerrilla warfare and nationalist movements seeking independence from Portuguese rule. Caetano's tenure also witnessed the Carnation Revolution in 1974, a peaceful military coup that ended the Estado Novo regime and led to the decolonization of Portugal's African territories.
