Answer: Portugal was a fascism that clung firmly to its provinces, and furthermore wasn't invaded during WW2, so didn't lose a portion of its provincial power. However, its colonies began to revolt during the 60s-70s too. It battled long counterinsurgency and there was a significant development of the Portuguese military, and ultimately it took an overthrow in Portugal to overturn the current system to end the pioneer wars.
