Howdy folks, sorry for the delay, but I hope it’s worth it for this video! Europe has had many dictators in the 20th century, some more well known, some less. And some, much less. And so, today we’re shedding some light on Europe’s forgotten dictator, a man who, outside his home country, is rarely ever spoken of! Enjoy!

I thought it was about Salazar
Edit : It was
cool
Salazar the most devisive dictator in European history
Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine warmthhh.Online Brünette und eine anderes Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde
Basado
To anyone interested, look up Catholic Corporatism and “Distributism”. (Not in the Socialist way)
VIVA LA CHRISTO REI!!! 🙏🏻
Can you do a video on Franco?
Angola é Nossa
Give us a video on Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi or maybe Eugene Talmadge pls
Most like Europe's forgotten caring saint is more like. I never knew Portugal had a dictator before, only a republic with an unstable government that weakened the economy. I'm glad you visited Spain and Portugal because Salazar deserves to be praised for caring more about his country and people, unlike Hilter, Mussolini, and Stalin, who only managed about power, for I don't know much of European history. Still, I did know because of this video. This is a fantastic video, Josh; your research and effort into it made it worth watching and educational at the same time.
Could you please make a future alternate history on what if the Brazillian monarchy had been restored? I would like to see a future video on that topic; and Brazil is a constitutional monarchy with Manuel II becoming Manuel I of Brazil. Anyway, this is a great video, Josh, so please keep up with the fantastic work, and I hope you get more likes and recognition you deserve!!
He should've restored the monarchy
Also the republican movement in Portugal were pan Iberians

Germany: "Allow us to introduce ourselves…"
Great info, I did not even know this about Portugal.
Hi
In general, Portugal is sort of the “forgotten” part of Europe, even for all the colonies it had.
This just in, General Francisco Franco is still dead!
As a portuguese I must say, great video and you kept a lot of the details that made Estado Novo. What you forgot to mention was the poverty that Salazar created, anyone who's opinion differs from Salazar was sent to prison. History tends to repeat itself, and Portugal is in another brink of having another Estado Novo. 😓
This painted a rosy picture about the dictator and should be taken with a pinch of salt. I have discussed this with the people who lived during the time, my basic understanding is that normal people outside of the ruling class were poor and hungry. This was the experience of the masses, not the minority. Santa Comba Dao is in my locality
A great man…… BTW This is Flavius/Tsarist-guy
Isn't there a category called clerofascism? That would nicely fit wouldn't it? Or should we just call it a totalitarian catolicism?
There is another forgotten dictator actually a Mini Hitler read about Ante Pavelic during WW2 and his Nazi puppet state the only except Germany with death camps.
Some corrections:
1- You did not mention the devastating impact the 1st world war had on the Portuguese economy and created many of the conditions that led to the coup of 1926
2- You didn't explore how much of a mess Portuguese politics really were after the republicans took over. Governments were being formed and deposed in the space of months, sometimes even weeks. Understandably, people were quite upset with this.
3- Nationalism played a key role in "The New State" politics, their motto was "Deus, Pátria e Família", translated to "God, Motherland, and Family". Appealing to national pride and past achievements was a common propaganda tool that was used to justify Portugal's colonial war.
4- The money received from the Marshall Plan was minimal, and the economy certainly did not boom as you mentioned. In fact, Salazar deliberately disregarded the development of the industry as he preferred a more simple, agrarian-based, economy.
5- "Salazar turned Portugal into a wealthy nation" is that supposed to be a joke? The majority of the population lived in poverty, with minimal to no healthcare available in most rural areas, with high cases of child mortality (the worst in Europe) and malnourishment as a result. Meanwhile, the national bank was filled with gold from Africa which was mainly used to pay for the war in Africa, which corresponded to about 20% of the state budget each year it was on.
6. Salazar did have some disagreements with the catholic church and not all approved of his ideas. Just read a letter addressed to Salazar by the bishop of Porto, Antonio Gomes, in 1958, where he criticized much of Salazar's social and economical policies
For the first min and a half I thought this was an orban video
You forgot to mention that when he died a gender neutral bathroom was constructed in Santa Comba Dão's cemetery in his honor.
Yeah… the music in the begginging of this video is Chorinho. It's brazilian not portuguese. Lusophone contries know about Antônio Salazar. JK Rowling lived in Portugal and she referenced him as the founder of Slithering and she based the snake language on her impressions of Portuguese from Portugal. It's muffled and filled with s sounds. Brazilian Portuguese, the superior improved version doens't sound like that though. And the outcome of the war was not because of Britain and the US. It was the URSS that did most of the dirty work.
Minding your own business really goes a long way
he had innocent people killed through the PIDE, that doesn't justify anything good he did for the country, no excuses,
Love the recognition of Herr Dollfuß🇦🇹✝️
