Top Comments of this video!! :3
It's really interesting to see more channels covering the history for South America. I just recently moved to Ecuador so I'm really trying to learn the history here because I love history. But up until recent years no one really covered the history and now multiple channels in my feed have done videos on it coincidentally. I may be a bit of a gringo but I'm excited to learn the history and culture of the countries here, because it feels like no one really appreciates it.

As a Brazilian, I have to say this video is very much spot on (minus the names pronunciations, buy I donât hold any non-Portuguese speaker for that). Thereâs a documentary called âThe Dat that Lasted 21 yearsâ which is all about the influence the US had in the coup. Thereâs a killer interview with a former worker of the US embassy that discloses how obsessed the then US ambassador was with convincing Kennedy and later Johnson that Brazil was going to be the next Cuba.
The irony is that JoĂŁo Goulartâs proposed reforms would be considered quite acceptable in Europe or Brazil of today.

As a brazilian and a long-time subscriber of this channel,i'm glad to finally see some events that happened in my country getting some recognition. Although it's not very know in the outside,the 1964 coup is still very remembered and it's long-term effects can still be seen in our modern politics to this day. Some were in favour as a way to prevent a communist takeover,others claimed the "communist threat" was a excuse to prevent the reforms and wasn't a big deal (since the communist party was already banned before the coup and Jango had no ties with it),if it was justificated or not i leave you to judge for yourself.
Good work on this episode,greetings from Brazilđ§đˇđ

At my law school at the University of SĂŁo Paulo, the most exalted law school in the country, during the first 5 months after the coup, a black ballot box was installed inside a tent that hid whoever entered and left it so that anyone could indicate a supposed opponent. to be investigated, mainly public officials and military personnel. During this period, almost half of the students and teachers were arrested or investigated. Data from the time and current research indicate that during this period, almost 350,000 people were imprisoned in some way for being enemies of the State, and at least 40,000 suffered torture. Although the number of deaths was low, this was the pattern of the 21-year dictatorship, many prisoners and a lot of torture, but few deaths, which means people try to reduce the crimes committed.

The video's emphasis on the involvement of the governments of the USA and UK in the "coup" is particularly important. This video is incredibly valuable for documenting such a crucial point about the abuse committed by the USA/UK against the self-determination of other nations. Moreover, even if it's absolutely necessary, assistance from foreign countries to overthrow a legally elected leader of a democratic nation is not sufficient to guarantee the success of a coup d'etat. This video represents just one of the many remarkable episodes in the drama of Brazil's once faltering democracy, which ultimately led to its suppression for a lengthy 21 years.

Greetings from Brazil! I'm a longtime subscriber to the channel and I really like your work. Small correction though: Janio Quadros was not a member of PTB at the time, but of PTN, a very small and fringe party that existed until 2017 under the same name. Now it is called Podemos and was part of the political base for ex-president Jair Bolsonaro. Janio Quadros was elected on the promise of ending corruption and, fun fact, was known for his campaign song and icon: a broom, that was supposed to sweep away the corruption. Joao Goulart, his vice-president, was from PTB, Getulio Vargas's party. Another fun fact: Jango and Getulio were born in the same town, Sao Borja, in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul and Jango was Leonel Brizola's brother-in-law, who insisted he'd take up arms to fight the military coup.
