Entre golpes e contragolpes(s): a Novembrada de 1955

Abstract

The Coup of Legality is a theme that has been discussed in a wide variety of history textbooks available to researchers. It is worth noting that the analysis of this theme is not original, nor does it claim to exhaust all its analytical biases or even to promote a historiographical review, given the limited theoretical depth that a monographic work demands. Thus, the aim was to outline the social, economic and political aspects of the post-redemocratization of 1945. Likewise, the factors that triggered the political and institutional instability in this period were highlighted. The historical context and the political and military reactions to the inauguration of the legitimately elected presidents on October 3, 1955 were explained, as well as the other causes that triggered the Novembrada. Characterized as an intervention of a political-military nature in the established order of fundamental importance to ensure the inauguration of Juscelino Kubitschek and João Goulart, respectively, as president and vice-president of the Republic, to reestablish the political-institutional order that had been threatened with rupture until then, as well as democratic stability during the Liberal or Populist Republic (1945-1964).
