Procurámos nesta dissertação ir para além dos juízos imediatistas que percecionam a
guerra como um mal absoluto que se deve recusar incondicionalmente, sem tomar em conta,
concretamente no caso português, tanto os amplos investimentos que esta justificou – e o ato
colonial em si – como o factoirreversíveldo fim desta, com o abandono dos militares
portugueses das antigas colónias, ter colocado em causa a progressão socioeconómica nestes
países que o investimento da metrópole à época ia promovendo.
Questionamos também a exemplaridade da descolonização salientando que foi
precisamente no ano de 1974, no atribulado período de mudança de regime em Portugal e do
derradeiro processo de descolonização, que “dispararam” os números de mortos em combate
em comparação com os restantes doze anos de guerra. Para além de que, frisamos, não se
pode afirmar que existiu, por parte dos governantes da altura, uma política ordenada e
robusta para a evasão, proteção e acolhimento dos retornados, contrariamente àquilo que
uma certa propaganda quis assegurar.
Depois de analisados os custos financeiros que a guerra colonial acarretou aos cofres
portugueses, partindo, nomeadamente, do cálculo dos gastos com os militares, concluímos,
corroborando outrasanálises, quepodemos atribuir a estes custos um peso de mais de 40% no
orçamento anual da metrópole.
Por fim, deixamos problematizados tópicos relacionados com a guerra e a sua
justificação, sugerindo que as fronteiras entre vencedores e vencidos são sempre mais ténues
e ambíguas do que aquilo que as visões redutoras e acríticas sobre esta fazem crer.
Sought in this thesis go beyond the immediacy of the judgments that perceive war as an absolute evil that must refuse unconditionally, without taking into account, in particular in the Portuguese case, both the large investments that it justified - and colonial act itself -and the undeniable fact that the end of this, with the abandonment of the Portuguese soldiers from former colonies, have put in trouble the socio-economic progress in these countries that the investment of the metropolis at the time was promoting. Question also the exemplary of decolonization, stressing that it was precisely in 1974, the troubled period of regime change in Portugal and the final process of decolonization, which "fired" the numbers killed in combat in comparison with the remaining twelve years of war. Apart from that, we stress, we cannot state that existed on the part of the rulers of the time, a policy orderly and robust to evasion, protection and reception of returnees, contrary to what some wanted to ensure advertising. After analyzed the financial costs of the war led to the colonial Portuguese safes, starting in particular the calculation of spending on the military, we corroborate analyzes that tend to allocate these costs to a weight of over 40% in the annual budget of the metropolis. Finally, let problematized topics related to the war and its justification, suggesting that the boundaries between winners and losers are always more tenuous and ambiguous than what visions reducing and uncritical about this make believe.
