(Juan). Born Mar. 1, 1918. in Sâo Borja. Political and governmental figure of Brazil. Lawyer by profession. Leader of the Brazilian Labor Party (BLP. in existence from 1945 to 1964). Goulart is a follower of the nationalistic politics of G. Vargas. From 1946 to 1950 he was a delegate to the legislative assembly from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and from 1950 a delegate from BLP to the National Congress of Brazil. In 1953–54 he was minister of labor, industry, and commerce. From 1955 to 1961 he was vice-president, and from 1961 to 1964 president of Brazil. The government of Goulart took a number of measures directed toward strengthening the national economy, such as limiting the export of gains on foreign capital invested in the country, establishing a government monopoly on the import of oil. and nationalizing uncultivated lands along arterial highways. He reestablished diplomatic relations with the USSR. (They had been severed in 1947.) Goulart was driven from power in April 1964 as the result of a reactionary military coup, and he emigrated to Uruguay. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

His achievements and hopes, however, were to be curbed in the wake of the military coup in 1964 which put an end to the democracy presided over by Joao Goulart, and replaced with successive juntas led by generals who aimed and attained higher rates of economic growth for the next 25 years but at the expense of tragic setbacks both for social advance in Brazil and external diplomatic projection in Africa. This spirit found political expression, first, via the abortive reign of Janio Quadros (1960-61) and then--Quadros having impetuously stepped down, hoping for a de-Gaulletype restoration which never occurred--via the more overtly extremist Joao Goulart. |
