Following its heyday as a global maritime power during the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal lost
much of its wealth and status with the destruction of Lisbon in a 1755 earthquake, occupation during the Napoleonic Wars, and the independence of its
wealthiest colony of Brazil in 1822. A 1910 revolution deposed the monarchy; for most of the next six decades, repressive governments ran the country. In 1974, a left-wing military coup installed
broad democratic reforms. The following year, Portugal granted independence to all of its African colonies. Portugal is a founding member of NATO
and entered the EC (now the EU) in 1986.(source: CIA - The World Factbook)

PORTUGAL NEEDED TO CHANGE
• With the Euro currency, it became impossible to sustain competitiveness by devaluating the currency
• The Pact for Stability and Growth limited the possibility of using public expenditure to sustain growth and jobs
• The enlargement of European Union brought new competitors to the same playing field
• Globalisation made it impossible to compete based on low wages
