The coup in Lisbon, Portugal, which took place on February 1, spread throughout Europe the next day and quickly spread throughout the world.
The February 1st coup in Lisbon was a very bad coup event caused by a political party dispute, which aroused unanimous condemnation from all over the world.
Of course it must be condemned.
No country likes such a coup!
Regardless of whether it is a monarchy or a republic, no country wants to see similar things happening in its own country.
For their own selfish interests, the opposition party ignored the constitution and the legitimate government, colluded with the army to launch a coup, and killed the king and the prime minister. This is something that the Western world, and even other civilized worlds, have not seen for many years.
Manuel José de Arriaga, Bernardino Machado, Sidonio Bais and other conspirators became famous all over the world.
These former Portuguese Republicans, who had become notorious and condemned by public opinion around the world, began to shirk responsibility from each other to avoid subsequent retaliation.
Yes, revenge is definitely coming, and it will be very violent.
Manuel José de Arriaga, Bernardino Machado, Sidonio Baez and others knew very well that the Duke of Braganza wanted to liquidate the coup plotters.
After Manuel II died, the orthodox royal family of Portugal was of course succeeded by the Braganza family of the Miguel family of Portugal.
Francisco, Duke of Braganza, had long reached a settlement with Carlos I, the patriarch of the Braganza-Saxe-Coburg-Gotha royal family and the previous king of Portugal, confirming the ownership of Braganza from the Miguel lineage.
Legitimacy.
Now that Manuel II is dead, the Braganza-Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family is extremely powerful, so it is natural for the Braganza family to succeed. This is a reasonable and legal combination of blood.
Francisco, Duke of Braganza, was not a small influence in Portugal. Because of him, the Portuguese Republican Party could never win over the aristocratic faction, and in the end it could only form a dual-core alliance based on the Austro-Hungarian model.
Manuel José de Arriaga, Bernardino Machado, Sidonio Baez and others are indeed Republican leaders, but they are not orthodox leaders.
It is an opposition party.
The undisputed leader of the Republicans is Teofilo Braga, whom they want to overthrow in this coup.
This time, the leaders of the opposition Republican Party colluded with the military to carry out a coup. If it goes well, then of course it will be fine and it can become an established fact.
But now it's messed up, and it's irreversible.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Manuel II and Teofilo Braga were on the Coimbra battleship, which was sunk by a naval battleship of the coup army.
The Coimbra battleship was hit by multiple cannonballs, its weapons depot exploded, and it sank very quickly. There were very few survivors, and the king and prime minister were not lucky enough to survive.
When the Cobra battleship was silent and the coup navy hurriedly salvaged and searched for the man, the navy of the Duke of Braganza across the strait also rushed over.
When a coup occurs and warships engage in battle, it is reasonable and logical for the Setugal navy to come out to observe the situation and help rescue people.
Although the two forces had drawn up their spheres of influence, they were both Portuguese after all, not to mention that the trajectory of the Coimbra battleship at that time was obviously heading towards Setugal.
After Setugal's navy rescued the first person on board, they immediately sent out some warships to surround the coup navy, demanding that they surrender and automatically disarm.
The Duke of Braganza's navy was very wealthy. Although it had no battleships, it had two strategic cruisers.
These two ships were given to his father by the Brazilian Emperor Pedro III.
The navy participating in the coup had the most powerful battleship, which was nothing more than an old-fashioned cruiser. Faced with the mighty naval power of the Duke of Braganza, they wisely chose to surrender.
King Manuel II, Prime Minister Teofilo Braga, two Portuguese heavyweights, after a period of searching, the first one to be found was Teofilo Braga, and then after him
Not far away I found Manuel II.
Both were found dead. Teofilo Braga died of drowning in the sea, a tragic death, while Manuel died of burns covering most of his body. It was difficult to tell for a while.
If it weren't for the surviving guards who recognized Manuel II based on some personal belongings, others would probably have searched for a long time.
After the death of Manuel II was confirmed, it was a foregone conclusion that the Braganza family would return to rule the Kingdom of Portugal.
Francesco, Duke of Braganza, who was far away in Luxembourg, immediately announced the tragic news about the Kingdom of Portugal after receiving the news. Then he naturally announced that the Braganza family was now the royal family of Portugal. Finally, he naturally wanted to
Liquidate the coup plotters.
The Braganza family is a claim of the Portuguese royal family. Brazil, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Italy were the first to recognize it, and then Austria-Hungary, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Tsarist Russia, Serbia, Montenegro, etc. recognized it one after another.
King Miguel is from Braganza, the orthodox royal family of Portugal. The origin is Miguel I, the king of Portugal. The historical claim is very early, and after the reconciliation with Gota Braganza, the last problem was solved.
No country would declare its opposition without the sense of humor. If it dares to oppose, it will be the public enemy of all monarchy countries.
For the Braganza claim, royal families from Europe, Africa, America, Asia, and Oceania have all recognized it, and other republics that are not monarchies have also recognized it one after another.
When various countries in the world announced their recognition, Duke Francesco of Braganza began to suppress the rebellion.
The navy was the first to suppress the coup, and the suppression process was very easy.
Can it not be easy? Not many people participated in the coup, and many just waited for the final result.
The navy of the coup d'état knew very well how powerful it was. The battleships in hand were nothing to fight with. Now that the failure of the coup was a foregone conclusion, giving stubborn resistance would be like an old god drinking arsenic and seeking death!
There is still a way to survive if you surrender. Although some people will definitely die, not too many people will die. But if you don't give face and fight to the end, everyone will die.
The navy surrendered quickly, but the army took a long time.
Because it was already night when the navy surrendered, it was not easy to deal with the army.
The coup army was widely dispersed. They were all hurriedly looking for the king and the prime minister. They did not know what was happening at sea.
Some of the rebel armies received the Duke of Braganza's official telegram, but most did not receive it at all.
The rebel army was not really resolved until the afternoon of February 3.
During this period, there were one or two small-scale armies that resisted fiercely, but the Army of the Greater Algarve came to suppress them and annihilated them as typical examples of thieves.
When Manuel José de Arriaga, Bernardino Machado, Sidonio Baez and other bigwigs involved in the coup are searched out one by one, they will surely look ugly.
In order to survive, they are shirking each other's responsibilities.
On the evening of the 3rd, Lisbon was under control, but Duke Francisco of Braganza did not stop. He listened to the advice of his son Downing Pedro and wanted to continue the coup and purge the Portuguese republicans.
The Duke of Braganza led the northern and southern areas under the control of the nobles, sent the army from the north and south to the middle, took over and controlled the cities in the republican areas, and began to arrest people according to the list.
