Bernardino Luís Machado Guimarães, President of Portugal

Bernardino Luís Machado Guimarães, 28 March 1851, 29 April 1944, President of Portugal (191517, 192526). Shown in this photograph saluting Portuguese forces departing for the world war battlefields in France, 1915In the course of his term, he received Germany's declaration of war (March, 1916), and visited the Portuguese forces placed in France in the battlefields. In 1917 the government was deposed by a military coup headed by Sidónio Pais, and Machado went into exile. Upon Machado's return in 1919 he was elected Senator. He served as Prime Minister from 10 February to 23 May 1921. Once again, in 1925, he achieved the presidential office after President Teixeira Gomes resigned, only to be overthrown a year later (1926). For a second time he went into exile in France, where he continued to be very critical of the Portuguese regime. The German occupation of France in 1940 forced him to seek protection in Portugal, which the government granted him with the condition that he was to be confined to his personal retreat in the northern part of Portugal. It was there in Oporto that he died in 1944.
