Joaquim Marques Esparteiro (28 January 1895 – 1976) was a Portuguese navy officer and colonial administrator.
Biography[edit]
Esparteiro was born in Abrantes on 28 January 1895. He attended the course of Naval School with a specialization in Artillery, then he graduated from University of Coimbra or University of Lisbon with a licentiate. He was also a professor of Ballistics, Calculation, Mechanics and the Artillery Specialization Course for Officers at Naval School.[1][2]
On 13 November 1951, Esparteiro was appointed the Governor of Macau, replacing Albano Rodrigues de Oliveira.[3] During his tenure, the tension between Macau and Communist China was palpable. In July 1952, a major border incident happened at Portas do Cerco with Portuguese African Troops exchanging fire with Chinese Communist border guards.[4] According to a telegram by Esparteiro to then-Overseas Minister Sarmento Rodrigues, local Chinese businessmen like Dr. O Lon and Ma Man-kei opposed the Guangdong government's aggressive response to Portugal's possible embargo against China.[5] In 1955, the Chinese government, suggested by Zhou Enlai and with the mediation of then-Hong Kong Governor Alexander Grantham, forced Macau to cancel the 400 year celebration of foundation.[6][7] He left office as governor on 8 March 1957.[3]
In Taipa, Admiral Marques Esparteiro Road (Estrada Almirante Marques Esparteiro, 史伯泰海軍將軍馬路) was named after him.
