Resumo
"A Revolução Portugueza: O 5 de Outubro (Lisboa 1910)" by Jorge d'Abreu chronicles the Portuguese Revolution of October 5, 1910, which ended the monarchy and established the First Republic.
Despite disorganization, limited armaments, and early setbacks among revolutionaries, the movement succeeded due to the heroism of a few, the defection of key military units like the "Adamastor" and "S.
Rafael," and the monarchy's weakened morale.
The narrative details the chaotic yet triumphant events, including the bombardment of the royal palace and the king's flight, highlighting the moral and strategic factors that secured republican victory.
