In 1961, India Finally Kicked Portugal Off the Subcontinent
- vinnyglennon 8y agoCould this have kicked off Article 5 if Portugal asked for it, against India?
- eesmith 8y agoTo answer that question you might look at the text of Article 5. It starts: "The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America .." Article 6 further states: "territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian Departments of France [2], on the territory of or on the Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer" and "area in Europe" and "Mediterranean Sea or the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer". Goa is not in that area, so not covered by the North Atlantic Treaty.
