Military Intervention in Brazil
In 1964, there was a military intervention and to this day there is much debate about whether it was a constitutional intervention or a coup. At that moment in the country, there was a lot of military and political discontent with the then president João Goulart.
The issue is that there were no justifications based on or supported by the Constitution in force at the time, the Constitution of 1946. So this intervention was actually a Military Coup of 64, which lasted 20 years.
The movement took place in a way that two fronts were mobilized in the country, one in Rio de Janeiro, commanded by General Costa eSilva, and another in Minas Gerais, led by General Olimpio Mourão Filho.
