Henrique Teixeira Lott: DEMOCRACY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE

- This video is about Henrique Teixeira Lott, the Brazilian Marshal who saved Brazilian democracy (at least temporarily). He was a cut above the rest and one of the few Brazilian army men who still believed in the republic, even as it fell to a military junta.

Alternative Title: An Extremely Brief Overview of Brazilian Politics 1930-1985 feat. Marshal Lott
Please do a video about São Paulo's 1932 Constitutional Revolution against Vargas. It was one of the craziest moments in Brazilian history. The only time I remember Brazilian elites stopped leeching and the Brazilian people abandoned the indifference and cynicism to fight together for a just cause...
Fun fact: Lott's campaign song for the 1960 election was lost for 25 years with only a 25 second clip available and about 2 months ago the full song was found.
Just as a footnote, the Quadros guy (president who resigned) banned cassinos, condecorated Che Guevara (though he was aligned with the west) and ordered an invasion of French Guyana to be planned and carried out, the scheduled date was only a couple of weeks after his resignation. There are more quirks about the guy but I think these are top notch
*And my grandma said he was elected because he had a cool jingle, I was told about that as a child, when she was telling me about a cat named after Jânio Quadros she had. I don't remember who in her family at the time named the cat, but this man was based as fuck, imagine naming your cat as Joe BallDen or Barack O' Brahma..."Brahma" is a beer in Brazil btw*
Never really knew about Lott at school, as southern Brazilian school tend to focus on Vargas and the Coffee barons.
So happy to learn about this character in my nation’s history!
Thank you for making this video ❤
As a Brazilian, thank you very much for this great video
Lott foi o ultimo bastião da república, defendeu o que era certo e anos mais tarde pagou com a própria honra o custo de ser o homem certo na hora certa.
Ele deveria ter sido eleito presidente em 1960. Seria bom para o Brasil se ele tivesse sido eleito e seria muito bom ter alguém com o carater e a integridade dele na presidência do nosso país.
Nem preciso dizer que foi terrível ele não ter sido eleito. Todo mundo sabe o que se seguiu.
O dictadore que tomarom poder sobre a repúlica, ñao era do o Estado Novo?
This man's based levels are off the charts
omg here it is!! Lott was just so based, glad you did this video. Great one.

You could do one about Fernando Collor and the (trolling) he did in Brazil as president
Or Gigachad Francisco Franco
And your life savings? IT'S ALL GONE BABY
@@MastersAndrei Pro gamer move right here
He reminds me a lot of Cicero. Well done video.
Ay, the tno guy is here
hey, brazilian here, i really appreaciate your videos on brazilians figures(the non brazilians too), unfortunately most people don't know about Lott and how gigachad he was
>The sun rise on a free Brazil
I recommend looking up about Ney Braga, a guy which was a chad. Upheld Democracy, even if State Governor under the Military Regime.
A bit ironic that one of the best videos on brazilian history I've seen is not in portuguese, but in english. I really wish that Marshall Lott won the 1960s election, my country would certainly be a lot better today.
Great video!
its so strange seeing this on 2023 Brazil, the Army openly divided between constitucionalists and bolsonarists, the smell of coup in the air. a shame that we dont have a marshall Lott to set the example and reform the armed forces
Yeah. The brazilian army nowadays is an absolute joke. Theyre incompetent as fuck.
clown world lmao
I would consider Pytor Wrangel to be a quite interesting person, he was a white army general who Held crimea against the Bolsheviks for quite a while and when they came finally managed to break through he ordered an evacuation, being one of the last to leave
The white generals in general were pretty cool and a bit wacky.
@@coh2conscript851 some were better than others, and some were definitely worse. They were men like any other. Fighting for what they thought was best
@@coh2conscript851
Diterikhs was the wackiest one. He thought he was waging a holy war against the communists
@@AzraelAngel945 Yeah he's based
Based Black Baron
Vargas was a national hero for upholding the nation when it was needed, so was Lott for upholding what's right and moral.
Vargas was a fucking facist... are you kidding me?
O grande presidente de valor!
That mf killed, imprisoned, tortured and persecuted more than the maligned military junta, but as it is, Brazilians are very prone to Stockholm Syndrome. It's been 80 years and we can still find prime examples of it
@@riograndedosulball248he industrialized Brasil for the first time, ended a corrupt oligarchy and was so influential, after his death, the next two presidents were predicted by him. He is, as far as I can tell, the only dictator to ever be reelected.
@@Walterdecarvalh0100 Dictators being reelected is not a high fucking bar when you can decide what the numbers day.
Also "he" industrialized Brazil? Industrialization isn't a process one person decides on.
I'm sure you've got a request list a mile long by this point, but when you get through it, can you do a video on someone in the CIA or FBI? No one in particular, I just watched your Lovestone video again and wondered who you'd find
I mean, J. Edgar Hoover would be a fun one so I definitely won't rule it out
Lott, the true gigachad.
Adding to your video content:
Lott was a part of the Sorbonne school line (the ones who believe that the Army only should be part of politics to fix fucced up things quickly like he did - The White Coup, Lott did a military intervention to guarantee the elections that elected Juscelino Kubitschek). The Sorbonne were a line of officers that tried to fought against Linha-Dura (Hard-Line), the line of officers formed in schools like Fort Leavensworth, backed up by the US military.
The Linha Dura won politically into the army and did the coup in 1964.
The first military president - Humberto de Alencar Castello Branco - was Sorbonne and tried to minimize the militarism into politics after he left the presidency.
Castello Branco passed the presidency to Artur da Costa e Silva, of Linha Dura, and this mf made a constitution that legitimized the coup.
Castello Branco - for the record, a Field Marshall - then tried to perform political actions to stop the Linha Dura but his plane was shot down by an air force fighter and his death was archived until today.
Edna Lott tried too to fight against Linha Dura but you guys saw in this video what happened...
essentially francisco franco but in reverse
BRING US THE FUNNY CLOCK MAN!
The part that gets me is the Military (of all fucking institutions) being the ones to enforce democracy at home.
Brazil is wacky like that
If you wanna see another wacky example look at peron.
Actually Vargas had a pretty good track record, his regime had good economic development and managed to neutralise communists and integralists.
Authoritarianism is failure.
His neutralization of communists was awful in the long run, since it was leftist leagues who supported both industrialization and land reforms, things that Brazil never got and I'd argue would be key for it to be a proper world power in the future
The economic development wasn't that extensive when he was dictator and he hid that under censorship, that and political torture made him lose support to continue his regime. His presidency afterwards was much better however and he even allied with the communists he onced hunted.
He's loved by most, uneducated and educated. But intelligent people know that he was actually a horrible leader who created modern Brazilian politics and laws, perfect, delicate, a piece of art in theory, a caos in real life, one that has been leading brazil to complete failure since then.
@@arthurg.calixto3338many leftists love him but hate the Dictatorship that enfollowed some decades after him, which is funny, since he was accountable for up to 10x deaths of communists. A truthfully twisted view of his.
Lott was a fucking chad
i gotta correct you on something, quadros was horrible president which did shitnothing and did some non-sensical stuff such as illegalizing bikinis and giving a medal to che guevara (he was a consevative)
gotta love new videos
I know this video is 2 years old but I believe you (and many others who have uploaded videos about Lott) have missed the opportunity to address a few less likeable characteristics of the man.
The Brazilian Armed Forces from 1889 and onwards have always had a tendency to intervene in political/social affairs. Whether to opress certain movements or to literally overthrow the nation's government.
It should be made clear that no general (and I really mean it) from the Brazilian army past the imperial period should be viewed with any bit of respect.
Ever since the coup that abolished the monarchy in Brazil, the Armed Forces have always been clinging to power beneath the shadows in more ways than one. Lott, like his fellow other generals from the republic, was no different from the traitors that overthrew the nation's constitutional monarchy in 1889. Despite sources claiming he was a staunch 'legalist', the man cared little about the 1930 revolution that resulted in Getulio Vargas climbing to power. Where was Lott in 1937, when Vargas decided to stage yet another coup to remain in power?
Interesting how despite his legalist fame, he completely ignored all the chaos brewing within the the nation for over a decade and only acted upon being called to act in 1945, assisting in the deposition of Getulio Vargas.
There was a reason for JK to closely align himself with Lott. JK knew that having a general whom was extremely popular with the army would give him the ample opportunity to make as many drastic measures as he could without fearing opposition. Why? Because he could just call Lott to opress them. Lott was literally a dog tied to a leech during the entire time of JK's government, and I am not even going to mention the whole fiasco of him acting to ensure JK's seat in the presidency. There's a wild misconception that the UDN (the party of Juarez Távora, the candidate who landed in 2nd place during the 1955 presidential elections) was openly plotting against the government in order to nullify the victory of JK. The truth is that they were simply dumbfounded that Juscelino was considered the victor, considering the man barely got over 35% of the popular vote; much less than a majority and extremely close to the 2nd place's performance. Most of the party, including Carlos Lacerda and Tavora wanted a runoff to happen, not a coup to prevent him from becoming president.
The fact Lott was immediately 'convinced' to act in order to 'preserve the constitution' (aka literally couping the incumbent government) upon hearing the news that colonel Mamede wouldn't be punished for his speech where be openly spoke ill of the electoral victory JK is baffling. The man certainly knew that resigning from his position as Minister of War would spark a frenzy within the Armed Forces, and he would use that for his advantage when he and others alike began planning the intervention that lead to Carlos Luz being impeached.
During the intervention, a battleship by the name of Tamandaré would sail off in the Bay of Guanabara. Carlos Luz, Silvio Heck, an admiral for the Brazilian Navy and commander of the ship, and figures like Carlos Lacerda, Mamede and alike would all be greeted by artillery fire straight to their ship from Army troops stationed in forts at Rio. The bullets landed scaringly close to the ship, but they chose not to fire back.
This unprovoked aggression could've sparked a literal civil war, all because the incompentent Army decided to fire at a ship of their nation's navy for... political reasons? Thank you, Brazilian Armed Forces.
And besides, even the impeachment process itself was foul, as various sources claimed Lott pressured the congress to side with the army and impeach Luz. He was literally cornering the president and forcing the parliament to kick him out. I am pretty sure this can't be considered legalism, especially when you consider there was little to no evidence to prove that Carlos Luz and Café Filho were legitimately conspiring against the recent elections.
But that isn't it. Upon Luz's impeachment, Café Filho was scheduled to be reinstated as president, a sentiment shared even by those who were in support of Lott's coup; as it was Filho's constitutional right to assume the presidency once more.
However, to their surprise, Lott simply decided to say f*** it and sent a whole squad of troops to monitor Filho's residence, and then the government decided to declare a state of siege, something which resulted in Cafe Filho being unable to reassume the presidency, an action further backed by the Supreme Court's approval. With everything said and done, Nereu Ramos (former president of the brazillian house of senate) would become the interim president until JK's eventual inauguration.
After ALL of this, Lott would re-secure his seat as the Minister of War of Brazil, doing all kinds of trickery to silence the opposition during JK's government who decided to bankrupt the nation in order to construct a modernist, nightmarish husk of a capital we now know as Brasília.
Finishing his term and leaving Brazil with high inflation, high government debts, a degraded railroad structure due to an unprecedented focus on cars, JK decided to pick Lott as his successor, only because he had an interest in coming back for the 1965 elections.
Then obviously as you may know, Lott lost. Horribly. He was hilariously bad at giving speeches, often stuttering and just saying outright nonsense. Not to mention his running mate was pratically Getulio Vargas' heir. The hypocrisy of being paired up and endorsing a staunch Vargas supporter after literally helping in overthrowing that man just a decade and a half prior is crazy.. so, Jânio Quadros won, resigned, Goulart assumed, and the rest is history.
Oh yeah, did I mention Lott married his own cousin? No? Well, now you know. Her name was Antonieta Duffles Teixeira de Andrade. Just had to throw this in here somewhere. I am not brazillian, so pardon any misinformation. I just believe people from Brazil should learn to not put their faith in Armed Forces after what they did over a century ago.
Do a video about Milton Campos
0:48 there's a libertarian podcaster named Dave Smith from New York, for a sec I thought you were lampshading him on purpose
Vargas last words were based out of space
He is here with us
Another tno guy?
nice
o7
He was a hero.
a remake would be good in the future but that just me
Please do a video about São Paulo's 1932 Constitutional Revolution against Vargas. It was one of the craziest moments in Brazilian history. The only time I remember Brazilian elites stopped leeching and the Brazilian people abandoned the indifference and cynicism to fight together for a just cause...
Tô fight for rich oligarchs that is
A revolution that was not a revolution and that defended the interests of the coffee elites. Historical revisionism in São Paulo that tries to obtain a victory over Getúlio Vargas and the rest of Brazil, which did not happen.
With the amount of people you talk about that fall somewhere between "cooked" and "burnt to a crisp", it's nice to hear about someone so unbelievably based he essentially stopped plans for a coup by telling everyone to sit down and shut up. A guy who served democracy, period, end of story.
The reactionary rebels did a little too much trolling
Vargas shadow funded his sanity 😢
0:09 oh I like that flag. I’d say Britain and the us get too much representation on it but Britain is where all anglos came from and the us is the biggest cultural exploiter in the world so it makes sense
The "x" in the Portuguese language is pronounced like "sh".
Lel Portuguese Troll face
Finally, a true democratic patriot not this unconfident nationalism bs.
Bro that dave smith you showed is the mayor of my city lmao
AEeeee Brasil
Democracy coup!
Hans speidel when?
Based
Literally me
Basadasso.
The first and only chance of the republic working, and he failed. Long live the empire!
Simp
wait wh-
man i thought you would do a pretty good south american history footnote, for a canadian
however, your frustration with vargas betrays your true might
you can't be pro-democracy and not be constantly frustrated by this guy
funny TNO man
I hate how this guy can't even be bothered to go on google translate to say the name properly and butchers a Portuguese name every 2 sentences.
Overall the video was pretty good, but you did not do justice to the hardliners here. Although Marshal Lott surely is a virtous man for stading for the constitution and law, the situation in 1964 was entirely different from 1955. The communist´s attempts at thwarting the nation goes as far back as 35, when they sullied their hands with the blood of their own countrymen. That João Goulart and Luís Prestes were being suported by the Soviet Union is a fact, and certainly the CIA must have had it´s own members supporting the hardliners too. But I wonder, why is it so bad to have the USA intervene in local politics in South America to safeguard freedom, but the Soviets trying to spread communism is overlooked or entirely ignored? That isn´t just in the slightest.
I salute all the Americans working in their Armed Forces, in the CIA and in their goverment during the Cold War, who gave their lives to save the world from the vicious ideology that is Marxism. Thank you for saving Brazil, my country, in it´s darkest hour: If one day the shining city upon a hill lose it´s light, I will spare no effort to light up it´s torch back again, even if I need to face my own death!
Why do you enjoy brazilian stories so much? Ive seen anglos interacting a lot more with brazilian history recently. I bet its your brazilian friends on a racist discord server telling you fun facts about our history
Racist?
Bro, you have the name god of order, you calling someone racist with a name that might as well be from an esoteric fascist is the stupidest shit i have ever seen.
Que?
HOI4 mods do a lot of the heavy lifting around here
