Brazil

Brazil peacefully gains independence in 1822 and becomes an empire that is even more bureaucratic and involved in slavery than the colony. This empire is run by an oligarchy of economic elites.

From independence until the Great Depression Brazil was run by an oligarchy of economic elites. They lost control when the economy tanked.

In 1930 Gutillo Vargas took control of the country. He established the "Estado Novo" under his dictatorship which was a militaristic corporatist regime. There were no democratic elections at this time.

In 1945 Vargas returned the country to an electoral regime. Despite this democracy the country was still largely controlled by political elites
The country’s politics was “clientilism” - an exchange of resources for political support

Vargas is democratically elected as the president of Brazil

In 1964 armed forces staged a coup against the democratic government and instituted an authoritarian corporatist regime. Harsh draconian rule, censorship

After immense protest the military dictatorship relinquishes power and the state returns to democracy

Early days of the New Republic contain a lot of privatization of previously state held industry. Later days are more economically prosperous (21st century) as there is larger international demand for Brazil's exports. Under the New Republic economic inequality in Brazil continues to grow dramatically.

After great depression the gov started to try to protect industry in Brazil by limiting imports on things that could be produced domestically.

Full fledged ISI - government becomes involved in industry and starts producing things like steel.
