João Franco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
João Ferreira Franco Pinto Castelo Branco (pron. IPA [ʒu'ɐ̃ũ 'fɾɐ̃ku]; 1855–1929) was a Portuguese politician and prime minister in the last years of the Portuguese monarchy. Facing republican dissent, João Franco (who had become prime minister in 1906) established an authoritarian government in 1907. He was still in office when the King of Portugal, Carlos I of Portugal, and his son and heir to the throne, Luis Filipe, Duke of Braganza, were killed by republican revolutionaries on February 1, 1908. Franco was soon forced out (February 4) by Francisco Ferreira do Amaral; he never again held office.
