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.engbook parthttps://doi.org/10.1057/9780230599864_5https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1057/9780230599864_5metadata only accessPortugalPoliceRepublicRevolutionHistoria55 Historia
