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 Negotiations with African independence movements began, and by the end of 1974, Portuguese troops were withdrawn from Guinea-Bissau, soon followed in 1975 by the independence of Cape Verde, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe and Angola in Africa and the declaration of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.

There were also indications that the studio simply saw the project as too low-budget for its desired star-driven image. [source, comments]
