- Summary
- From early modern history to contemporary global influences, this resource captures the legacy of Portugal and its people. From adventurous sailors in search of spices more than 600 years ago and the pioneering city plans that rebuilt Lisbon-and the definition of a modern city-to being the first European nation to outlaw slavery, this historiography details the expansive Portuguese legacy that reaches such places as India, Brazil, Newfoundland, and San Diego. A detailed look at the peaceful overthrow of a dictatorship and the profound societal change that resulted from the Carnation Revolution of 1974 is also included.
