Portuguese military leader (b. June 30, 1914, Chaves, Port.—d. July 31, 2001, Lisbon, Port.), was the president of Portugal's ruling military junta from 1974 to 1976. Costa Gomes was chief of staff of Portugal's armed forces from 1972 until March 1974, when he reportedly was dismissed because of his support for decolonization. In April of that year, army officers overthrew Prime Minister Marcelo Caetano in a bloodless coup known as the Revolution of the Carnations. Costa Gomes took power when the junta's interim president, Gen. António de Spínola, went into self-exile in September. As head of state, Costa Gomes presided over the granting of independence to Portuguese colonies in Africa and Asia. After guiding Portugal through two attempted countercoups and parliamentary elections, he relinquished power in June 1976 to Gen. António dos Santos Ramalho Eanes, the newly elected president. In 1981 Costa Gomes was promoted to marshall, Portugal's highest military rank.
