Did you know that April 25th is a big deal in Portugal? They call it the Carnation Revolution. It's a day when people feel hopeful and free, like when you smell flowers in the air.
But that's not all!

In Portugal, April 25th is called the Carnation Revolution. Back in 1974, they ended a long dictatorship without violence. People put red carnations into soldiers' gun barrels, showing they wanted peace and freedom.
Since then, the date is known as Freedom Day (Dia da Liberdade) in Portugal. It's a special day when people remember and celebrate democracy and human rights.
During the Carnation Revolution, music was important. Songs like "Grândola, Vila Morena" by Zeca Afonso were secret signals to start the movement. Today, these songs are like anthems of freedom.
In Lisbon, many tourists visit places linked to the Carnation Revolution, like the Largo do Carmo. That's where an important moment of the military coup happened.
The Carnation Revolution got support from other countries and movements around the world. It showed that fighting for freedom can inspire many others.
April 25th isn't just a holiday; it's a reminder of the fight for freedom and why it's important to defend human rights.
