In July 1943\, Mussolini was deposed and arrested\, and the new Italian government signed an armistice with the Allies on September 8\, 1943. \nHowever\, Germany quickly invaded northern and central Italy\, freeing Mussolini and setting up a puppet state—the Italian Social Republic—based in Salò\, northern Italy. From 1943 to 1945\, Italy was divided: the south under Allied control and the north under Nazi and Fascist forces. \nIn response to the occupation\, Italian citizens formed the Resistance\, a broad alliance of partisans from diverse political backgrounds: communists\, socialists\, Catholics\, liberals and monarchists. These groups carried out sabotage\, intelligence and guerrilla warfare against Nazi troops and Fascist militias. The National Liberation Committee (CLN) coordinated the resistance and served as a provisional political authority. \nOn April 25\, 1945\, the National Liberation Committee (CLN) in Milan called for a general uprising across northern Italy. Cities including Milan\, Turin\, and Genoa were liberated by partisans before Allied troops arrived. \nWithin days\, Mussolini was captured and executed (April 28\, 1945). The liberation marked the end of Nazi occupation and the collapse of Fascism in Italy. \nIn 1946\, the Italian government declared April 25 a national holiday to commemorate liberation and honor those who fought for freedom. It became a lasting symbol of Italy's transition from dictatorship to democracy and its path toward becoming a republic.

The regime promoted nationalism\, censorship\, and political repression\, banning opposition parties and independent unions. Citizens were monitored by the secret police (PIDE)\, and dissent was often punished. \nOn April 25\, 1974\, a peaceful military coup organized by the Armed Forces Movement overthrew the Estado Novo regime. The revolution began in the early morning. Soldiers and tanks took control of key points in Lisbon\, including radio stations\, airports\, and government buildings\, facing minimal resistance. \nOrdinary citizens joined the soldiers in the streets\, offering them red carnations\, which they placed in their rifle barrels and on their uniforms\, giving the revolution its name "The Carnation Revolution". By the end of the day\, the dictatorship had collapsed\, Prime Minister Marcelo Caetano surrendered\, and political prisoners were freed. \nThe revolution marked the end of 48 years of dictatorship and initiated a transition toward democracy and decolonization. In 1975\, Portugal held its first free elections in half a century to elect the Constituent Assembly\, which drafted a new democratic constitution adopted in 1976. The revolution also led to the independence of Portugal's African colonies\, ending the long colonial wars. \nApril 25 was declared Liberty Day\, a national holiday honoring the revolution and the restoration of democratic freedoms. It commemorates the courage of the soldiers and civilians who ended the dictatorship without widespread violence. \nLiberty Day stands as one of Portugal's most meaningful national holidays\, a day when the nation remembers that even the most repressive systems can be overthrown through unity\, courage and peace.
