i picked brazil, Sam Wreh

They first gained power in 1964 because no civilian politician was acceptable to all the revolutionary fractions. It put in its army chief of staff, Marshal Humberto Castelo Branco, he was president for three years (1964-67). At first he did not to go along with the military's wants, which were to institutionalize the military in power. After, refusing this demand, he received competing demands which only radicalized the situation and forced him to take action to appease these demands. He did not last long though after only 3 years he was removed from office. Although the dictatorship did not solve all the problems that Brazil faced and in fact caused some of their own, like the DOI-COID which was responsible for a substantial number of human rights violations, they still had a high point which was the Brazil miracle in which GDP rose. When General Joao Baptista Figueiredo (197-1985) took control, he promised to turn Brazil into a democracy. His term marked the end of military dictatorship in Brazil.
