The Armed Forces Movement (Portuguese: Movimento das Forças Armadas; MFA) was an organization of lower-ranking officers in the Portuguese Armed Forces that overthrew the right-wing, corporatist Estado Novo regime on 25 April 1974 with the Carnation Revolution and ended the Portuguese Colonial War in Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau, which led to the independence of those countries and Portugal's other overseas territories of Cape Verde, São Tomé and Príncipe and East Timor. The MFA instituted the National Salvation Junta as the provisional government from April 25 1974 to March 14 1975, and then by the Revolutionary Council until 1976.
