World War I provided a defining moment, as it brought about a significant breach in the course of the contemporary history of Europe and the world, whose lasting and disturbing effects permeated, marked and determined the history of Portugal very significantly. On the eve of its 100th anniversary, in 2014, it is appropriate to identify these impacts, consequences, and legacies, not only in Portugal, but also throughout the World. Among many other aspects, it is important to remember that between 1914 and 1918 more than 100 000 Portuguese soldiers went to war. They fought in Africa and in Flanders, with nearly 40 000 casualties. Almost 8000 men died, many others were wounded; 6000 were reported missing and more than 7000 were taken prisoner...in Presentation Read more...
