From Wikipedia

The Armed Forces Movement (Portuguese: Movimento das Forças Armadas; MFA) was an organization of lower-ranking officers in the Portuguese Armed Forces that overthrew the Estado Novo dictatorship on 25 April 1974, an event known as the Carnation Revolution. This ended the Portuguese Colonial War in Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau, leading to the independence of those countries and Portugal's other overseas territories of Cape Verde, São Tomé and Príncipe and East Timor. The MFA instituted the National Salvation Junta as the provisional government from April 25 1974 to March 14 1975, when it was replaced by the Revolutionary Council. A new constitution was adopted in April 1976.
