The Brazilian military regime was Brazil longest dictatorship period, lasting from the 1964 coup to 1985 when Tancredo Neves was elected on a indirect election.
The dictatorship arose as a last ditch attempt to abort the developmentalist reforms of the brazilian president João Goulart, from the populist PTB party. Jango was the political sucessor of Getúlio Vargas, Brazil former President and Dictator, and created a series of political reforms to help to modernize the brazilian societal structure to something closer to countries such as the USA, France, UK, West Germany, etc, known as "reformas de base". Some sectors of the brazilian civil society, with help from a minor faction of the army known as the "Escola Superior de Guerra" tried to prevent such reforms by calling for a military coup. The coup was controlled at first and it seemed to be about to die, but through bribes the General Amaury Kruel changed sides and a US fleet stationed at Rio menaced to land and support the putschists, prompting Goulart to flee to Uruguay. By 2021 these reforms have not been passed yet, and Brazil today is a modern version of a 19th century oligarchic republic.
This video was a "passion project" of myself to make videos similar to what other channels did back then about the eras of their history, I hold no respect for the dictatorship whatsoever.
