Talk:Ongoing Revolutionary Process

Ongoing expansion

This page needs serious work. All I can see is the titles. --Rev. Austin 00:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry for the current presentation of this article. As you can see the History of Portugal-related articles are undergoing a major revamp or being built from nothing. I've already written History of Portugal (1578-1777) and History of Portugal (1777-1834) (which is a featured article). I'm now working in History of Portugal (1834-1910). This process is slow but I expect to have 1974-1986 article finished in 2-3 months. Until then I thought that the articles needed a structure so that eventual people would edit them respecting the presentation of the other periods of the History of Portugal so that things like History of Portugal (1910-1926) don't occur. Thanks for your concerns. Gameiro 02:32, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Since this page has not been actively edited in three months (that was thanks to one editor who did a remarkable expansion of the begining sections), and the post 74 period has been left as headers for more than a year, I'm going to move the link for Portuguese transition to democracy, which covers this period well, comment out the empty headers, and do some cleanup of the contoversial uncited parts of the Returnado section (which has been tagged for facts and cleanup for more than a year). Experts in Portuguese History are welcome to revise what I do, but it just looks bad, being left so long needing cleanup. T L Miles (talk) 16:22, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Military expenditure

The statistic mentioning military expenditure with the colonial war reaching about half of Portuguese GDP is not only exaggerated but unfounded. The "Estado Novo" regime although an undemocratic dictarship, were not business idiots. If ever there was something that can be called a "positive factor" during their tenure, it should be economic growth. The fascists by and large, entrusted the reins of commerce and industry to a dozen influential and well known families. In turn these families lobbied the Portuguese government to maintain their monopolies. Even so, between the 1940s and 1970s, many small and medium factories emerged in many different sectors because of organic necessity. The most succesful emerging industries from that period founded by independent individuals, were mostly in the metal working and machinery factories, (ie. Metalurgia Casal) motorcycles, bycicles, footwear, leather goods and accessories, clothing, furniture, construction, electrical and electronic components and devices, tourism, transport, agricultural products and food production. By 1970, Portugal's economic growth had brought the average Portuguese worker earnings to within 65% of the western European average, above that of their Iberian neighbours, Spain. The colonial war by the early 70's, under Caetano, become a much better organized effort with Angola completely under the Portuguese control and the northern Mozambique situation improving on a daily basis after the order of battle and command structures underwent revision. Furthermore, the "win the hearts and minds of indigenous populations policy", brought much success together with much needed social and economic improvements to previously forgotten and underdeveloped regions. The number of schools, clinics, roads and infrastructure investment in forgotten rural areas, meant that the combined Angola and Mozambique GDP average growth between 1964 and 1974, was well above 10% p/a, while absolute poverty reduction was a fact. The Guinea-Bissau theater of operations remained a thorn in the Portuguese side mainly due to a mixture of desinterest and incompetence. Never the less, despite the economic successful policies, the fascist regime kept shooting themselves in the foot by not allowing a gradual democratisation of the state from as early as the mid sixties, when it become apparent their governing formula of repression had no future. By then, the economic emigration of the Portuguese males, was being substituted by the conscientious objector evasion of conscription. Be it as it may, one will always wonder what democratisation and a peaceful resolution of the colonial conflict would have resulted overall, instead of the instability and subsequent disater the half baked and missmanaged aftermath of the April 25 revolution, brought about to the people of the colonies/"overseas provinces" and continental Portugal itself.

Typo

There is a page Processo Revolucionário em Curso redirecting to this article Processo Revolucionário em Curso. However the correct capitalization is the former. Prepositions such as "em" should not be capitalized. Tuvalkin (talk) 15:42, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
