António de Oliveira Salazar

António de Oliveira Salazar (1889–1970) served as the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1932 to 1968. He founded and led the Estado Novo ("New State"), the authoritarian, right-wing government that presided over and controlled Portugal's social, economic, cultural and political life from 1932 to 1974.

Despite his Fascistic tendencies, António de Oliveira Salazar kept Portugal neutral throughout World War II. After the war, some in the United States had hoped that Salazar might be overthrown, but none of America's allies desired that course of action.

Portugal did prove a relative safe harbor for Nazis fleeing Germany, although not as attractive as Spain.
