On April 25, 1974, the Armed Forces Movement (Movimento das Forças Armadas) began a military coup to overthrow the Estado Novo regime. While initially a military coup, the public began a popular resistance campaign against the regime, turning the coup into a revolution. Though no one was killed during the coup, 4 protestors were shot by government forces. The Carnation Revolution resulted in the end of the Portguese Colonial Wars and the Portuguese Empire itself. It also resulted in a gradual transition to democracy.
