Summary: | The echoes of the Portuguese revolution of October 1910 were significant in Italy in the opinion press and political groups of the Democratic world-Republican. In this essay, a comparative approach on Portugal and Italy is developed around the different «fates» of the Republican Democratic alternative. The comparative perspective points out the common factors that produced the crisis of the Liberal political systems in the period preceding the World War I. Comparative history of republics and Republicanisms, about the nature and the crisis of Liberal Democratic political systems, is extended to the Latin American world, balancing between radical democratization, authoritarianism and military dictatorship.
