Abstract
The foreign policy put into practice during the Second World War by the
Portuguese authorities demanded a skilled and accurate, but also risky, political
and diplomatic action. In general terms, and similar to the situation experienced
by the time of World War I, the international positioning of Portugal turned
out to be “corseted” by certain conditions of geopolitical order: in European
terms, the maintenance of the peninsular duality and the strategic value of
the Portuguese Atlantic archipelagos; in colonial terms, the maintenance of its
overseas empire.
