António Sebastião Ribeiro de Spínola (April 11, 1910 – August 13, 1996) was a Portuguese military officer and politician. He played a significant role in Portuguese history, particularly during the Carnation Revolution, which ended the Estado Novo regime in 1974.
Born in Estremoz, Portugal, Spínola embarked on a military career. He served in the Portuguese Cavalry and later saw action in the Spanish Civil War, fighting on the side of Francisco Franco's Nationalist forces. He rose through the ranks and became a prominent figure within the Portuguese military.
Spínola's book, "Portugal e o Futuro" ("Portugal and the Future"), published in 1974, criticized the government's handling of the colonial wars in Africa and advocated for a political solution. This publication contributed to growing dissent within the military and ultimately played a key role in triggering the Carnation Revolution, a bloodless military coup that overthrew the Estado Novo regime on April 25, 1974. He became the first President of Portugal after the revolution.
Spínola's presidency was marked by political instability. His attempts to slow the pace of decolonization and maintain some form of Portuguese influence in the former colonies met with resistance. He resigned from the presidency in September 1974 and later unsuccessfully attempted a coup in March 1975. Following the failed coup, he went into exile, eventually returning to Portugal in 1992. He passed away in 1996.
Unfortunately, due to the limited availability of digital information from that period and the focus on his public life rather than personal social media presence (which largely did not exist then), we do not have links to social media profiles or detailed project listings. Historical archives and libraries would be the best resources for further research into Spínola's life and career.
Note: Information regarding social media and recent projects is not available due to the historical context and Spínola's time period.
