Joao Goulart flees Brazil as he is ousted as President by an army rebellion. It was Goulart's leftist leanings and the fear that he would turn Brazil into a Castro state which led to his downfall. He began his regime as a middle-of-the-roader but runaway inflation and worker discontent led him to institute land reforms and legalize the Communist Party.
