Portuguese Republic

The Portuguese Republic (Portuguese: República Portuguesa), also known as the Second Portuguese Republic (Portuguese: Segunda República Portuguesa) or Portuguese Socialist Republic (Portuguese: República Socialista Portuguesa), is the socialist revolutionary government established in Southern Portugal following the failed monarchist November Coup in 1931. It is currently embroiled in the Portuguese Civil War. It is ruled by a coalition of leftist parties and organizations known as the Union of the Republican Left.
It is recognized only by the International Proletarian Defense Pact and its member states, as well as Mexico. The British Empire and France instead recognize the rival Kingdom of Portugal. Other countries still recognize the defunct First Portuguese Republic.
