Coup d'état in Portugal - After Three Days of Combat, the Victorious Revolutionary Troops Rest
EDITORS COMMENTS
(1917) is a poignant and historic photograph from the first world war era. The image, taken from the French publication "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, captures a moment of respite for the Portuguese revolutionary troops following their successful coup d'état against the dictatorship of Sidonio Pais. The photograph shows a group of weary soldiers, lying down in their dugout positions, taking a break from the intense three-day combat that had recently taken place. Their faces display a range of emotions, from exhaustion to determination, as they wait for the next phase of the revolution. The men, dressed in military uniforms, are a testament to the political upheaval that was taking place in Portugal during the 1910s. The coup d'état, led by General Manuel de Oliveira Gomes da Costa, overthrew the dictatorship of Sidonio Pais, who had come to power in a previous coup just two years prior. The revolution marked the end of the monarchy in Portugal and the beginning of the First Portuguese Republic. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the political instability and upheaval that characterized Europe during the early 20th century. It is also a testament to the bravery and determination of the soldiers who fought for political change, and the sacrifices they made in the process. The image has historical significance as a record of a pivotal moment in Portuguese history and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or illustrations.
