Abstract: Este artigo pretende oferecer uma visão geral no planejamento militar britânico com respeito a Portugal durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Com esse objetivo, diversas coleções documentais dos National Archives do Reino Unido foram consultadas, entre os quais se destaca o War Cabinet e a série do Joint Planning Staff. Entre suas principais conclusões se destacarem a evolução da situação estratégica e a não beligerância espanhola como os principais fatores que impulsionaram este planejamento militar, que limita ou qualifica tanto a tradicional aliança angloportuguesa como a reaproximação entre os regimes de Salazar e Franco.
This article aims to provide an overview of British military planning for Portugal during the Second World War. To this end, various documentary collections from the United Kingdom National Archives have been consulted, particularly the War Cabinet and the Joint Planning Staff series. Among the main conclusions, the evolution of the strategic situation and Spanish non-belligerence are highlighted as the main factors driving this planning, limiting, or qualifying both the traditional Anglo-Portuguese alliance and the rapprochement between the Salazar and Franco regimes.
