Antonio de Oliveira Salazar (Winged Hands of the Reich)

Antonio de Oliveira Salazar was the Prime Minister of Portugal starting in 1932. Salazar was selected by Adolf Hitler to run Portugal, and was given significant holdings in Africa. Salazar attended the Berlin Conference on the Restructuring of the World.

In the desire to expand Portuguese holdings, Salazar ordered the creation of the Portuguese Ministry of Colonization to establish colonies on Mars, Venus, and other parts of the Solar System. This led to the claiming of Deimos for Portugal, a claim which turned the moon into a major solar system transit point to other points of the Zheronian empire with ISOT-equipped ships.
