What were the major political movements in modern Brazil?

Modern Brazil has experienced several major political movements since its independence in 1822. One of the earliest movements was the Republican movement in the late 19th century, which sought to overthrow the monarchy and establish a republic. This movement ultimately succeeded in 1889 with the proclamation of the Republic of Brazil. In the 20th century, Brazil experienced military regimes, most notably from 1964 to 1985. The military dictatorship was challenged by various left-wing movements, including the guerrilla groups in the 1960s and 1970s. The return to democracy in 1985 led to the emergence of several political parties, such as the Workers' Party (PT) and the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB), which have played significant roles in the country's politics. The contemporary political landscape in Brazil is marked by a polarized environment, with the rise of populist movements and increasing political discontent.
