Abstract
António de Oliveira Salazar, dictatorial premier of Portugal from 1932 to 1968, like most
conservatives of his generation, had opposed Portugal's intervention in the Great War. Once
in power, and especially during his time as Minister of War (1936-44), Salazar attempted to
wind down the commemoration ceremonies, which centred on 9 April. His failure to do so is
very revealing of the difficult relationship between Salazar and the Portuguese army, which was
the main beneficiary of these ceremonies, and which saw itself as having a privileged role within
Salazars New State.
