Title: | Guerra global portuguesa: a Restauração | Other Titles: | The global Portuguese war: the Restoration | Authors: | Pires, Nuno Lemos | Issue Date: | 2009 | Publisher: | Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra | Abstract: | A Guerra da Restauração/ Aclamação não foi a guerra da defesa das fronteiras
de Portugal na Península Ibérica. Foi uma guerra à escala global em que Portugal
teve de mobilizar o "nada" que tinha para o "tudo" que se lhe opunha. Combateu-se
no Brasil, em África e na Ásia, além das conhecidas grandes batalhas das Linhas
de Eivas, Ameixial e Montes Claros. Portugal teve de definir estratégias e teve de
tomar opções muito difíceis sobre o que teríamos de perder para salvaguardar o
que pensávamos ser fundamental. Foi um renascer e uma afirmação da vontade
e valor de Portugal. Foi a I Guerra Global Portuguesa. The Restoration/ Acclamation War was not a war waged to defend Portuguese borders in the Iberian Peninsula. Rather, it was a war waged on a global scale, in which Portugal had to mobilize the "nothing" that it had in order to face the "all" that opposed it. In addition to the well-known and important battles of Eivas, Ameixial and Montes Claros, the war was fought in Brazil, Africa and Asia. Portugal had to define strategies and make very difficult choices about what it had to lose in order to protect what it thought was essential. The war represented a rebirth and an affirmation of the will and worth of Portugal. It was the First Global Portuguese War. |
