2 Brazilians to Portugal Abolition: government needs to be new! Military have a COUP to kick Pedro II out Nov. 15, 1889 bloodless coup- they left to France, a lot of officials of the empire and buddies of Pedro II left as well *Not a social revolution, but actions of elites *divided into states, no suffrage for women or illiterates

3 Brazilian Society 1889-1930 * immigration! - no slavery=need labor= good chance for jobs (+400%) Italy, Spain, Germany, and Portugal, and largest Japanese community outside of Japan *new cultural forms: carnaval, samba, “whiten” the culture *internationally prominent *scientists and artists came to the country

4 Land of the Future *new flag: order and progress *no industrialization by gov’t: keep exporting coffee and sugar *Private sector: industrialize:Italian and Lebanese; leads to growth of cities *urbanization=favelas, crime, and growth of working class, including low- wage urban workers) *can keep pay low because there are SOOOOOO many workers, you want more $$$? forget you, I will get someone else to work! * worker’s unions

5 1929 Elections Prestes wins!!!! *Vargas uses military rebels to stage a coup…VARGAS in charge until 1945 *Prestes backed by Communists try coup...unsuccessful= REPRESSION! *election in 1938: NOT! new constitution DICTATORSHIP *corporatism: government coordinates all economic activity within the country by controlling the distribution of working licenses to employers, the management of workers’ unions, and the regulation of the economy *Patronage: favors politically for money or projects, increased military budgets so they wouldn’t overthrow him * military didn’t trust him to have elections: 1945, so they overtook him *Vargas elected again, but people didn’t like him using World Bank so he committed suicide

6 Brasilia Kubitschek became the new President: 50 years of growth in 5 *created an entirely new city in the undeveloped interior of Brazil ~open up vast interior ~new capital ~symbol of modernity: shape of an airplane ~inaugurated in 1960 *DEBT!!!no money? print more money… inflation: cost of living increased but but wages didn’t

9 Operation Condor by 1970s Dictatorships: Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil *these six joined together for anti-communism: assassination missions, shared info, techniques for torture *tens of thousands died *CIA and FBI documents confirm that the US was aware of Operation Condor and in some cases supported the activities
