Salazar, António de Oliveira

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Salazar, António de Oliveira (1889–1970)

Portuguese prime minister 1932–68 who exercised a virtual dictatorship. During World War II he maintained Portuguese neutrality but fought long colonial wars in Africa (Angola and Mozambique) that impeded his country's economic development as well as that of the colonies.

A corporative constitution on the Italian model was introduced in 1933, and until 1945 Salazar's National Union, founded in 1930, remained the only legal party. Salazar was also foreign minister 1936–47.
