The Revolution of 25 April 1974 marked the beginning of democratic life in Portugal. The uprising carried out by the Movimento das Forças Armadas (MFA - Armed Forces Movement), a group composed mainly of military officers, ended the authoritarian regime that had ruled Portugal since 1926, showing that it was possible to end the colonial war and make way for democratisation and the development of the country. The event has been the subject of postage stamps issued in Portugal on several occasions: 1974; 1975; 1984; 1994; 1999; 2004 and 2014.
