The end of the monarchy in Portugal

Manuel II, the last king of Portugal

Two years after the murder of his father Karl I and his brother Ludwig Philipp , the young King Manuel II of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, despite his policy of calming down , in the course of which most of the authoritarian measures of his predecessor were withdrawn, failed to stabilize the unpopular monarchy in Portugal . Governments take turns in quick succession. The Prime Minister, Francisco António da Veiga Beirão , who was sworn in on December 22nd of the previous year, fell on June 26th over a scandal at the Credito Predial bank in which several members of his government were involved. His successor is the previous Minister of the Interior, António Teixeira de Sousa .

Teófilo Braga

In the parliamentary elections on August 28, the Republican Partido Republicano Português ( PRP ), which has been campaigning for the abolition of the monarchy with armed force since the beginning of the year, achieved a historic success. Among others, Teófilo Braga and Miguel Bombarda are elected to the Cortes .

Bombarda, a psychiatrist and thought leader of the republican movement, is murdered on October 3rd by a mentally ill former patient. The act of violence probably has no political background, but on the same night it led to uprisings against King Manuel II and the Portuguese monarchy.

Two days later, the first Portuguese Republic is proclaimed. King Manuel II , who had been forced to flee Lisbon by the military the day before, leaves the country and is exiled in England on October 17th. Teófilo Braga becomes the first president of a provisional government in the country. The well-known writer and intellectual tries to form a non-partisan government.

The new government is strictly anti-clerical and secular and begins with a radical separation of church and state . All Jesuit monasteries are closed, the prisons in Lisbon are filled with Catholic priests and friars. Religious instruction is forbidden, as are all religious references in state acts, and the titles of nobility are abolished. The apostolic nuncio leaves Lisbon in protest. Wearing religious habits in public is forbidden, and civil marriage and divorce are introduced. Despite the initial euphoria, the republic was marked by a great deal of political instability in the years that followed.

The exhibition is about agriculture and livestock, industry, rail and land transportation, hygiene and the fine arts.

There are also numerous pavilions for the individual Argentine provinces. The exhibiting countries include Germany, England, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Paraguay, Switzerland and Spain. In keeping with the zeitgeist, Art Nouveau plays a major role in the design of the exhibition buildings. A number of young Italian architects stayed in Buenos Aires after the exposition ended. Some of the buildings they built are still important for the cityscape there. On the occasion of the exhibition, the Transand Railway between the cities of Los Andes in Chile and Mendoza in Argentina will be officially opened on May 25th after more than twenty years of construction.

Money economy

  • With the Australian Notes Act , the Commonwealth Treasury is founded in Australia and the Australian pound is introduced as a separate currency for the united Australia. In the same year, the Bank Notes Tax Act introduced a tax of 10% p. a. levied on the private banknotes in circulation up to now and thus devalued economically. In addition, the private banks are prohibited from continuing to hold notes from Queensland in circulation, their status as legal tender will thus be terminated. For the new currency is valid until World War I, the gold standard .
