Worth noting that the response to the invasion of Goa is one of the things that leads to the Falkkands war, because the Argentinian government sees this as evidence that governments would not intervene in situations like this. Of course, the situations were very different. Britain had a large, navy, Argentina was a much weaker country than India, and it was clear to everyone from the start that the population wanted to be British, but Argentina did not realize how serious these differences were until it was too late.

The reason why NATO didn't respond, btw, isn't just that no one cared, the members are obliged to defend each other to the death regardless of how much they care or not. It was because NATO only applies to member's territories in Europe and North Atlantic and *nowhere else*, so attacking French posessions in the Pacfic, for example, wouldn't trigger NATO Article 5 even today. The one exception to that was French Algeria which was specifically covered by NATO as NATO was drawn up when Algeria was part of France but that's all null and void now since Algerian independence.

I read somewhere that the territories need to be above the Ecuatorial Line for the treaty to take effect. For example in 1982 when the Argentines invaded the Falklands which were a core British territory the treaty couldn't take effect since it happened below the Ecuator, but when 9/11 happened the treaty took effect cuz NYC is above the Ecautor. Another little tidbit is that if Hawaii is struck by a foreign attack NATO Article 5 doesn't take effect cuz when the alliance was formed in 1949 Hawaii was a U.S. territory and below the Ecuator. EDIT:It appears I have made a mistake. For a country or territory of a member country to be under coverage of NATO article 5 they must be located in Europe and North America and above the Tropic of Cancer.

@drakron Жыл бұрын

Nay, NATO sit that out because ... NATO was entirely anti-Soviet no matter what its written on the paper. India was a non-aligned nation, that was game they played so neither block wanted to throw then into the other arms (as Pakistan found out ). Decolonization was still never much in the agenda and it would been very unpopular to aid Portugal to keep a overseas territory that as far people saw it was India (funny enough the current PM of Portugal grandfather is Goan). If India was under the Soviet sphere you can bet NATO response would be different but at it stood what it seem politically as India reclaiming their lands from a colonial power and Portugal being under the Estado Novo dictatorship didnt exactly help, that why the Colonial War was a bit different as NATO looked the other way because of Soviet backed independent movements even if there were western backed.

My mom's former father-in-law was deployed to Goa, he ended up spending some half-a-year in an Indian prison. He made it out of there pretty unscathed, and even brought some curry recipes back to Portugal, so no hard feelings. Also interesting to note that Brazil heavily condemned India's actions in an act of "Lusophone solidarity", but then proceeded to back the rebels in Portugal's African colonies under the same logic. Edit: People seem to think that I am Portugal's spokesperson for some reason. When I say "no hard feelings" I am speaking about how my family doesn't have any resentment towards India due to his imprisonment, I am not implying the Portuguese nation was "wronged" by India or something.

@GJMEGA1 Жыл бұрын

@@chevyjd2007 Back then, seemingly no matter what, you just didn't kill heads of state. That's partly, I think, due to the fact that everyone in power knew that one disastrous war would be all it took for THEM to go to the chopping block so it was best just to settle everything with a nice cozy exile. Just in case. Also, part of the reason the Coalitions formed was because the French killed Louis XVI so there was a bit of a public image to uphold. Although nations usually don't care too much about being proven hypocrites this plus the other reason I gave probably tipped the scales. Finally, after his second defeat he was pretty much done in French politics, so even if he somehow came back, which since they put him much farther away wasn't going to happen, he wouldn't be able to rally enough support to threaten the status quo again.

@heyabowa Well, it is weird if you consider that Portugal was an colonial empire with a rather small population. And it was a far-right dictatorship. So you had all power centralised in the capital of a small country that ruled over colonies around the globe. It is far from treating all citizens equally when all the political decisions are made by a small group of people in Europe. The people in the colonies had no say in what their future would be. French Algeria was similar in that the French empire tried to forcefully assimilate the country. That’s also a huge difference if you compare it to French-Guyana. If the people in an overseas territory overwhelmingly demand to decide their own fate it would simply be subjugation. Where that’s not the case making everyone citizens is actually a step towards equality. Don’t get me wrong: I think that nowadays in most cases solutions based on compromises and autonomy are better. But when looking at that time period we’re talking about the age of decolonisation.

That led to the invasion of Afghanistan and the follow up UN-endorsed mission to establish a stable democratic state in Afghanistan. (As an aside for the particular case of GOA, NATO article 5 is worded in a way that excludes colonial territories because most of the alliance was not interested in defending colonialism which was a dying remnant of the 19th century). The first Iraq War to expel Iraq from Kuwait was widely supported and included demands by the UN for Iraq to withdraw. Again, nothing to do with NATO although many NATO member states were involved. The second Iraq War also had nothing to do with NATO and this time the majority of NATO countries opposed it. This led to politics in the US which talked about the "new Europe" and the "old Europe" -- the old meaning NATO members opposed to the war and the new meaning countries (following the collapse of the USSR) seeking to join NATO for protection from Russia which the US tried to portray as the future of Europe. The new were oft motivated by proving their readiness for membership.

After the Portuguese were driven out till late 1960s, a certain descendant of Shivaji came here and looted. Well, it was always like this but the Portuguese were helping us. The Marathi king had sent his men over here who looted from us our own lands and made us work in those fields just for us to pay taxes on the crops grown and what not.

Much stronger countries had relinquished much more valuable possessions to much weaker adversaries, either because of necessity or coercion from the US and the broader global community. Maybe I am getting too realpolitik but it's just ridiculous they expected those same nations to see them as the last straw and start a major war with India.

The reason why you didn't hear about it because it isn't as simple. History Matters for the sake of brevity summarized it down to the beginning and its end; I don't blame him for that through. This period spanned a couple years. To begin with, one needs to understand what was Portugal prior to the revolution. Portugal had been ruled for decades by its prime minsiter, Antonio do Oliviera Salazar. Salazar had created what amounted to a dictatorship and called it the Estado Novo. One thing to note is that Salazar was a civilian and the Estado Novo was virtually civilian in nature. At the beginning of his reign in the 30s, the Portuguese empire was intact. But as it progressed it started to fall apart. In fact, the very invasion of Goa happened under him. After the invasion of Goa, several insurgencies began in the various colonies. He instituted conscription within Portugal to retain them; and thus the Portuguese colonial war began. By the time he died, the empire was embroiled conflict. His successor only had partial success in containing the rebellion, but there was still no light at the end of the tunnel. Futhermore, Portugal was blowing upwards of 40% of its budget on this conflict. Many troops by 1974 had lost their morale, but by and large they remained loyal to the government. The problem was that within the military, emerged a organization of lower ranking leftist officers. These officers, to clarify were in the vast minority within the military, but they were enough to plot a coup right under their higher ups noses'. They struck in 1974 in what was the Carnation Revolution. They were in part successful because no one in the government expected it. The coup plotters promise of a negotiated end to the war ensured that the rest of war weary army acquiesced. With the demise of the government, the coup plotters united with their senior officers to form a junta. This junta was rather ideolgically diverse to say the least. On one hand, you had the establishment officers, then the moderates, and finally the leftists. Because of such an acrimonious union, the parties sort of agreed that transitioning to democracy would be the best. Well only two of them did, because the leftist ones(the same ones who planned the coup to begin with) wanted to use this opportunity to transition Portugal into a Marxist socialist state. Portugal for the next two years, was teetering on the brink of civil war. On one hand, the leftist officers were pushing the junta to the left, while right wing officers wanted to get rid of the junta altogether, and then there was the junta trying to enact democracy. Didn't help the junta ended the colonial war by unconditionally granting their colonies independence; resulting in a mass influx of Portuguese settlers who were more often of than not stripped of any wealth when they fled. Regardless of the chaos, democratic elections were finally held in 1976 and helped put this crisis(mostly) to bed

As far as invasions and invaders go, that was the most polite invasion I've ever heard of. India: "Hey... Listen, can I have a minute? So.. About that piece of land you have colonized.. Yeah, can you give that back please? It would mean a lot." Portugal: "No." India: "Please?" 😢 Portugal: "No." ** India: "Hey, it's been two years, can we please have it back now?" Portugal: "No." India: "Sigh... You KNOW I hate doing this right? Jfc no good deed goes unpunished huh?" ** Portugal: "A'ight imma head out." 😒

You missed Dadra and Nagar Haveli. They were tiny Portuguese enclaves surrounded by Indian state of Gujarat. Being landlocked, they were in a dire situation when India imposed the blockade of Estado Português da Índia. The case went to International Court of Justice and they implicitly recognised Portuguese claim while declaring that Portugal had the right of passage between it's territories. But they did rule that India had not broken any law by blocking military movements between territories. Soon, in 1954, a co-ordinated group of Left wing communists and Right wing Hindu nationalists (yes, they worked together) stormed the Portuguese police station, assassinated the Police inspector, and hoised the Indian flag. Dadra and Nagar Haveli became a de-facto Indian territory. But funny enough, India herself did not recognise the annexation de jure, owing to the ICJ verdict, and subsequently officially annexed it only in 1961 after making a Constitutional amendment. Indian constitution makes annexations legal and requires amendments before annexing any territory. In 1961 such amendment was made. Till then Dadra and Nagar Haveli was a de jure unrecognised independent state, while being de-facto run by Indians. The last time such a constitutional amendment to add a territory to India was made in 1975 when Kingdom of Sikkim was annexed after a Referendum.

Portugal should have learnt from French, who gave Pondicherry to India, gracefully. Although, i wonder, what would have happened if French didn't cooperate and India invaded Pondicherry. Would the response of Nato be same as in Portugal case or French and Portugal coalition would attack India? Even the timeline is similar. India gained Pondicherry in 1961(1955 French had agreed to hand it to India, delay was due to ratification by French Parliament)and Goa also in 1961.
