14 Outubro 2025, 11:00 • Gonçalo Rocha Gonçalves
From the struggles for independence in Southeast Asia in the late 1940s to Portuguese decolonization in the mid-1970s: global resistance against European imperial rule.

How did colonial subjects and anticolonial movements adjusted to the end of the IIWW and the beginning of Cold War?
