The government that was subsequently formed lasted only a few months, as on 19 October (the "night of blood"), a military coup resulted in the deaths of several prominent conservative figures including prime minister António Granjo.[2] New elections were held in January 1922.

Notes
gollark: The PotatOS updater thing is going well, although I should probably separate the update and system verification bits eventually.
gollark: I can totally read, but only things I can read.
gollark: As long as they can be multiple lines.
gollark: I think it's from the spec for some version of Scheme, and says that string constants can be in any format whatsoever, as defined by the interpreter.
gollark: > 🤣This is not a joke. PotatOS controls all.
