António de Oliveira Salazar was a Portuguese statesman who served as Prime Minister of Portugal from 1932 to 1968. He was responsible for the Estado Novo, the corporatist authoritarian government that ruled Portugal until 1974. A trained economist, Salazar entered public life with the support of President Óscar Carmona after the Portuguese coup d'état of 28 May 1926 as finance minister and as prime minister. Opposed to democracy, socialism and liberalism, Salazar's rule was conservative and nationalist in nature. Salazar distanced himself from fascism and Nazism, which he criticized as a "pagan Caesarism" that recognised neither legal nor moral limits. Salazar promoted Catholicism, but argued that the role of the Church was social, not political, negotiated the Concordat of 1940. One of the mottos of the Salazar regime was "Deus, Pátria e Família". With the Estado Novo enabling him to exercise vast political powers, Salazar used censorship and a secret police to quell opposition any that related to the Communist movement.

He supported Francisco Franco in the Spanish Civil War and played a key role in keeping Portugal and Spain neutral during World War II while still providing aid and assistance to the Allies. Despite not being a democracy, Portugal under his rule took part in the founding of important international organizations. Portugal was one of the 12 founding members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation in 1949, joined the European Payments Union in 1950, was one of the founding members of the European Free Trade Association in 1960, a founding member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in 1961. Under his rule Portugal joined the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1962, began the Portuguese Colonial War; the doctrine of Pluricontinentalism was the basis of his territorial policy, a conception of the Portuguese Empire as a unified state that spanned multiple continents. The Estado Novo collapsed four years after Salazar's death. Evaluations of his regime have varied, with supporters praising its outcomes and critics denouncing its methods.

However, there is a general consensus that Salazar was one of the most influential figures in Portuguese history. In recent decades, "new sources and methods are being employed by Portuguese historians in an attempt to come to grips with the dictatorship which lasted 48 years." Salazar was born in Vimieiro, near Santa Comba Dão, to a family of modest income on April 28, 1889. His father, a small landowner, had started as an agricultural labourer and became the manager for the Perestrelos, a family of rural landowners of the region of Santa Comba Dão who possessed lands and other assets scattered between Viseu and Coimbra, he was the only male child of two fifth cousins, António de Oliveira and his wife Maria do Resgate Salazar. His four older sisters were Maria do an elementary school teacher. Salazar attended the primary school in his small village and went to another primary school in Viseu. At age 11, he won a free place at Viseu's seminary, where he studied for eight years, from 1900 to 1908.

Salazar considered becoming a priest, but like many who entered the seminary young, he decided not to proceed to the priesthood after receiving holy orders. He went to Coimbra in 1910 during the first years of the Portuguese First Republic to study law at the University of Coimbra. During these student years in Coimbra, he developed a particular interest in finance and graduated in law with distinction, specialising in finance and economic policy, he graduated in 1914, with 19 points out of 20, a rare achievement which earned him instant fame, in the meantime, became an assistant professor of economic policy at the Law School. In 1917, he became the regent of economic policy and finance by appointment of the professor José Alberto dos Reis. In the following year, Salazar was awarded his doctorate. Salazar was twenty-one years old at the time of the revolution of 5 October 1910, which overthrew the Portuguese monarchy and instituted the First Portuguese Republic; the political institutions of the First Republic lasted until 1926, when it was replaced by a military dictatorship.

This was first known as the "Ditadura Militar" and from 1928, as the "Ditadura Nacional". The era of the First Republic has been described as one of "continual anarchy, government corruption and pillage, arbitrary imprisonment and religious persecution", it witnessed the inauguration of 44 cabinet re-organisations and 21 revolutions. The first government of the Republic lasted less than 10 weeks and the longest-ruling government lasted little over a year. Revolution in Portugal became a byword in Europe; the cost of living increased twenty-fivefold, while the currency fell to a ​1⁄33 part of its gold value. Portugal's public finances and the economy in general entered a critical phase, having been under imminent threat of default since at least the 1890s; the gaps between the rich and the poor continued to widen. The regime led Portugal to enter World War I in 1916, a move that only aggravated the perilous state of affairs in the country. Concurrently, the Catholic Church was hounded by the anti-clerical Freemasons of the Republic and political assassination and terrorism became commonplace.

Mulcahy is a surname of Irish Gaelic origin. The anglicized form of "Ó Maolchatha" which in Gaelic means'a descendant of a devotee of Cathach', a personal name meaning Warlike; the name is thought to originate in County Tipperary, However the earliest mention of the family appears in the Annals of Inisfallen in 1317 AD and subsequent references in and around the Churches of County Kerry in the 15th century. The pre-eminent authority on Irish surnames, Edward MacLysaght wrote of the remarkable lack of medieval reference to the Mulcahy surname in the annalistic records; the only known reference to a member of the sept in any Annalistic record is from the Annals of Inisfallen in 1317AD A Giolla Moenaig Ó Maolchatha is mentioned as a "Keeper of the Island" which could be evidence of the families earlier erenagh status within the local area. Furthermore, the Uí Mhaolchatha sept appears to have been active in the 15th century in the churches of Co. Kerry. Benefices were granted by papal decree to a number of the sept, including the Vicarages of Killarney and Aghadoe.

There is evidence that these benefices were held within the sept for a number of generations, supporting the notion that the family had developed a political hold on the offices without having been ordained as priests. The Annalistic record for a Giolla Moenaig Ó Maolchatha in the Annals of Inisfallen in 1317 AD combined with the above-mentioned appointments of the vicarages would support the idea that the Uí Mhaolchatha of Co. Kerry had developed into a modest ecclesiastical dynasty; the surname is of ecclesiastical origin. While it is true that Cathach means Warlike, the inclusion of the prefix Maol refers to a'devotee' of an individual whose name was Cathach. So the full name of Ó Maolchatha means'A descendant of a devotee of Cathach' most the name of a saint. There exists; the theory first proposed by historian John O'Hart in his flawed work, Irish Pedigrees, claims that the Mulcahy family descend from the O'More family of County Laois. O'Hart makes mention of a John O'More who he claims was a younger brother of Rory Caech O'More and who adopted the surname Maolcatha.

This theory is certainly wrong. O'Hart, intentionally or unintentionally had attributed the origins of the Mulcahy family with O'More on the basis of the name which John O'More had adopted; the name John O'More adopted was not Maolchatha as O'Hart had claimed but Actually Maolchathail, it is from him that the County Laois sept of Ó Maolchathail anglicized Mulhall, claim descent. No substantial evidence exists to support the notion that Rory Caech O'More had a brother named John, making the claim of the Mulhall family suspect. To this day many commercial heraldic outlets continue to pass the traditional arms of the O'More family of Laois, which are "Vert a lion rampant or in chief three mullets of the last", off as those of Mulcahy when there is no connection between the two families. No reliable source exists; therefore any modern claimants to such a title would be questionable. As the family has an ecclesiastical origin, any Chiefly line would most be associated with the holding of a particular church title over several generations.

Unlike the greater political dynasties whose power came from land and cattle ownership, ecclesiastical lineages relied manly on income from these benefices to grow their influence and standing. An individual had come forward claiming Chiefly status by means of ad hoc Derbfine, however in a statement issued on the website of The Clan Mulcahy Association, the individual in question declared that he no longer wishes to claim the position, citing dissatisfaction with the authenticity of the'ad hoc' system; the Uí Mhaolchatha sept has no reliably recorded Chiefly lineages. However the individual in question does claim descent from the County Kerry branch and from Giolla Moenaigh Ó Maolchatha, the earliest recorded bearer of the name.
