History change
In 1910, the Kingdom of Portugal was in crisis: people were angry over the 1890 British Ultimatum and the royal family.[1][2] King Carlos I and his heir was assassinated in 1908, called the Lisbon Regicide. There was conflict between two political parties, Progressive and Regenerador.[3] This caused political instability throughout Portugal.[4] Republicans in Portugal thought Republicanism was a better way to manage the country, so, the Republican Party took advantage of the instability to overthrow the House of Braganza.[5]
Coup change
After a rebellion between 3 and 4 October 1910, the Portuguese Republic was proclaimed at 9 a.m of the next day from the balcony of the Lisbon City Hall.[6] After the revolution, a provisional junta led by Teófilo Braga managed the country until the approval of a new Constitution. In 1911 there was the beginning of the First Portuguese Republic.[7] The national symbols were changed, including the national anthem and the flag. The revolution ensured civil and religious liberties.
