Mural in Geneva, Switzerland to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal on 25 April 1974.

The revolution began as a coup organized by left-wing Portuguese military officers, the Armed Forces Movement, which led to the end of the Estado Novo fascist regime, and sparked a popular civil resistance campaign. Negotiations with African independence movements began, and by the end of 1974, Portuguese troops were withdrawn from Guinea-Bissau, soon followed in 1975 by the independence of Cape Verde, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe and Angola in Africa and the declaration of independence of East Timor in Southeast Asia.
"Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or both."
