The Coup of 1964 in Brazil was a military takeover that occurred on March 31, 1964. It resulted in the ousting of President João Goulart, who was accused of being too leftist and promoting policies that threatened the interests of the military and business sectors. The coup was supported by various groups, including the United States, which feared the spread of communism in Latin America. Following the coup, a military regime was established, leading to a period of authoritarian rule that lasted until 1985. The government implemented strict censorship, repressed political dissent, and suspended civil liberties. This era significantly impacted Brazilian society and politics, shaping the country's future.
