5 October 1910 revolution
The revolution o 1910 wis a republican coup d'état that occurred in Portugal on 5 October 1910, which deposed Keeng Manuel II an establisht the Portuguese First Republic.
Prior tae the coup, Prime Meenister João Franco stepped doun an went intae exile. New elections wur held, but factionalism preventit the formation o a stable government. On 1 October 1910, a visit bi preses Hermes da Fonseca o Brazil providit a pretext for extensive republican demonstrations. On 3 October the Airmy refused tae put doun a mutiny on Portuguese warships anchored in the estuary o the Tagus River, an instead teuk up positions aroond Lisbon. On 4 October, twa o the warships began tae shell the ryal palace, causin Manuel II an the ryal family tae flee tae Breetain. On 5 October, a provisional republican government wis organized wi the writer Teófilo Braga as Preses.
The revolution an the republic which it spawned wur anticlerical an haed a "hostile" approach tae the issue o kirk an state separation, like that o the French Revolution, the Spainyie Constitution o 1931 an the Mexican Constitution o 1917.[1] As pairt o the anticlerical revolution, the bishops wur driven frae their dioceses, the property o clerics wis seized bi the state, wearin o the cassock wis banned, aw minor seminaries wur closed an aw but five major seminaries.[2] A law o 22 Februar 1918 permittit ae twa seminaries in the kintra, but they haed no been given their property back.[2] Releegious orders wur expelled frae the kintra, includin 31 orders comprisin members in 164 hooses (in 1917 some orders wur permittit tae form again).[2] Releegious education wis prohibitit in baith primary an secondary school.[2]
The involvement o mutinous warships in the revolution prefigured a similar involvement in baith the October Revolution in 1917 Roushie an the fall o the German Monarchy in 1918.
