La guerra en el contexto lusófono: Portugal y Brasil

Abstract

This article examines bibliographic references and academic work on Portugal, Brazil and the Spanish Civil War. The text identifies the main books, articles and dissertations concerning the Portuguese intervention and Brazilian attitudes and the impact of the war in both of these countries. The role of the Portuguese dictatorship in the conflict is analysed in depth. However, the number of Portuguese combatants on the loyalist side remains debatable. The case of Brazil, and its comparatively less relevant participation in the war, has been examined in several works. On the other hand, no monograph yet addresses the collaboration between Getulio Vargas’ dictatorship and General Franco’s, nor the impact of the war in Brazil itself.
