Eurovision Song Contest 1974
The Eurovision Song Contest 1974 was the nineteenth Eurovision and was held on April 6, 1974, in the United Kingdom. With Katie Boyle as the presenter, the contest was won by ABBA who represented Sweden, with their song "Waterloo".
France was originally also going to enter this Eurovision with the song "La vie a vingt cinq ans" by Dani, but they withdrew because Georges Pompidou, the French president, died in the week of the contest.
On April 25, 1974, the Portuguese entry was used as the signal for the tanks of the left-wing military coup that otherthrew the fascist government to move in.
