In the year 1975, when the flowers Revolution in Portugal and Portugal in the last Governor of East Timor, Lemos Pires, do not get answers from the Government Center in Portugal to send troops to help Timor-Leste is going civil war, Lemos Pires then ordered the army to Portuguese who survive are in Timor-Leste to Goat Island or the island of Atauro known.
