Abstract
This chapter focuses on the political role played by the Guarda Nacional Republicana (GNR) in Portuguese politics during the period 1919–22. The GNR was a gendarmerie force created in the aftermath of the republican revolution of October 1910 that put an end to the 75-year constitutional monarchy. It was the first truly national police force in Portuguese history and, after the Great War, became an independent revolutionary republican force.
