A government study last year concluded that 475 people were killed or disappeared at the hands of security forces during the military regime. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, then a fiery union leader who stood up to the government, was briefly imprisoned under the dictatorship.

The coup was described as a "democratic rebellion" by the U.S. ambassador, despite its authoritarian and violent characteristics. He also deemed Brazil the "China of the 1960s." Recently declassified CIA documents provide evidence that not only was there U.S. knowledge of the coup even prior to its occurrence, but also the U.S. positioned military ships off the coast of Brazil ready to engage in the coup if the Brazilian military found itself in need of support in a program called Operation Brother Sam. Such support was not needed as the military had little difficulty in ousting Goulart on its own.

Additionally, the CIA had funneled money into several hundred anti-Goulart political candidates beginning as early as 1962.http://en.allexperts.com/e/j/jo/joão_goulart.htm
