Document Summary
Don"t want regime changed because might threaten this. Antonio de oliveira salazar (rotten apple in west europe) Implemented some elements of democracy, but not enough to outs him. Dictatorships start to fall in hard economic times, not often speak out when times are good. Member of eu, get lots of funds to help under developed country. People not happy but economic problems bother people more than dictatorship. Some of his generals would rather take over. Collapses when franco dies and moves towards eu and democracy. Emerged in early postwar period battling communist guerrillas. Greeks tries to intervene, and turkey doesn"t like it=violence! Moves towards democracy, but so many issues and poverty=immigration. All except 2/12 democracies in western europe were nato members. Neutrality out of necessity in austria and finland. Run off election against socialists because they performed so well. Wins second round, but shows him that he"s not as popular as he once was.
