ABSTRACT:
Brazil entered its own Cold War precociously, after a Comintern attempted coup in 1935, which was the starting point of its official anti-communist state doctrine in force until the late 1970s. Having allied itself with Western powers during the Second World War, Brazil underwent an ‘americanisation’ process, most visible during the 1950s, at the height of the international Cold War, when convergence with the US diplomacy at multilateral organisations was expected. But even the military rightist regime of the 1960s and 1970s, openly anti-communist, experienced frictions with the US, mostly in commercial matters, non-proliferation, and development issues. A highly qualified diplomatic corps, together with high-ranking military, kept Brazil far away from super-power confrontations and just as an observer in the non-aligned movement. Cold War spirit was already absent at the end of the military regime (1985), as Brazilian diplomacy struggled to maintain an effective autonomy in foreign policy.
