The history of Portugal in the twentieth century is linked to the name of António Salazar, a dictator-ruler who led the country for four decades. His name symbolizes the longest dictatorship in Europe in the twentieth century. He was the creator of the "New State", a special political system typologically related to fascist regimes. The book presents the political history of Portugal, in which the leading role was played by a dictator who believed in the durability and longevity of his system, who rejected the very existence of any political parties, claiming a "third way" - neither capitalist nor socialist. Salazar sought at all costs to preserve the colonies, the empire, to freeze political development, to isolate his "Catholic people" from an atheistic and faithless world. This book is intended for students, teachers, and the general reader interested in the history of the twentieth century.
