More than a year after the war in Europe broke out, the government of Portugal ordered the seizure of German ships anchored in Portuguese ports following a British request, leading to a declaration of war by Germany.
The Portuguese Expeditionary Corps ( Corpo Expedicionário Português, CEP ) was formed at Tancos, made up of 30, 000 soldiers, under the command of General Norton de Matos.
A Portuguese artillery Corps was also sent to man French batteries, which they started operating by March 1918.
