 DeRLAS Vol 3 No 2 Magalhaes
I give the 1945 Brazilian military a score of two (2) on the scale because the coups attempted in Brazil were successful but the history of coups is much less extensive in Brazil than in other countries in Latin America.
The second case is the period leading up to the military coup that ousted President Goulart in 1964 and the third case is the tumultuous period in the second half of 1992 during which the corruption of the Collor administration was revealed and the president’s eventual impeachment by the Câmara de Deputados occurred.
The opposite of an apolitical military is a praetorian, or politicized, one (Huntington 1968, 192-263; Nordlinger 1977, 2-3; Perlmutter 1977, 11-13, 89- 114).
