About Brazilian Labour Party
The Brazilian Labour Party was a populist political party in Brazil founded in 1945 by supporters of President Getúlio Vargas. From 1945 until 1965, PTB was one of the main parties of Brazil, along with its more centrist ally PSD and main rival UDN. After Vargas's suicide in 1954, João Goulart became the central figure in the party along with his brother-in-law Leonel Brizola. Goulart was elected Vice President of Brazil twice and became President of Brazil in 1961, but was removed after the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état. The new military regime dismantled PTB by the Institutional Act Number Two in 1965. Most of the PTB's members went to join the Brazilian Democratic Movement or were exiled from Brazil.
