Brasil, 1935: A Noite em que o País Esteve a Uma Decisão de Virar Outro

In the early morning of November 27, 1935, soldiers of the Brazilian Army opened fire on their own officers. In Natal, the government had already fallen. In Rio de Janeiro, order was lacking. This is the story of the Communist Uprising — the armed revolt that almost changed Brazil forever, and which most Brazilians have never truly studied. In 1935, the country was divided between two extremes. On one side, the Brazilian Integralist Action — a green-shirt movement with more than 400,000 members, inspired by European fascism. On the other, the National Liberation Alliance, controlled behind the scenes by the Communist Party of Brazil, with direct support from Moscow. In the center, Getúlio Vargas — a politician who understood power better than any ideology. Luís Carlos Prestes, the Knight of Hope who had led the Prestes Column in the 1920s, returned to Brazil trained by Stalin's Comintern with a mission: to organize a simultaneous insurrection in barracks in several cities and install a revolutionary government before the government could react. He returned clandestinely. With false documents. And with Olga Benário by his side. What happened that night — in Natal, Recife, and Rio de Janeiro — and what came after changed Brazil for eight years. This episode covers the Communist Uprising of 1935, the Estado Novo of 1937, the Cohen Plan, and the fate of Prestes and Olga Benário. 📚 BOOKS ABOUT THIS PERIOD — Amazon affiliate links: → Olga — Fernando Morais: https://link.amazon/B01QxOHuP → The Revolution of 1930 — Boris Fausto: https://link.amazon/B05Ov5mWE → Knight of Hope — Jorge Amado: https://link.amazon/B0fHEoMaF Mundo em Fragmentos is a documentary history channel — narration, images, and archives about moments when the past spiraled out of control. #BrazilianHistory #CommunistUprising #GetulioVargas #LuisCarlosPrestes #OlgaBenario #EstadoNovo #Brazil1935 #BrazilianHistory #Communism #DocumentaryHistory
