This source was used as a third source fact checker for the history of Brazil, it

only lent information that was prevalent in other sources as well. Yet, it did have a

bit more emphasis on the social aspect of Brazilian life, but that was not included

in much of the paper due to its irrelevance to the topic. Otherwise, it was a good

third check source for information, written by a credible author.

The current leader of Brazil, Lula da Silva is a revolutionary. His ruling style is

more socialist, his policies did much to advance the status of Brazil and help to

pull it out of its previous economic slumps. It was important to do further research

on him because of his longevity in office and popularity. The source contains

good information about his life and political career along with analysis of some of

his policies and campaign promises.

A large part of Brazilian history was the revolutions that happened within the era

in a pre-depression era. This source gave insight to the cause and effects of the

revolts that happened within this time period. I used the source to give more
clarity to the backdrop of the 21st century, the happenings of the 20th century and

the struggles that took place within the country during that time. Brazil was

having severe economic troubles at the time and naturally it upset the lower class

who was hurt the worst.

Since Brazil is marked heavily by revolutions and revolts, I felt it was important

to go a bit more in depth in the history section, on the revolutions that truly turned

the country around. The revolution of 1930 turned the country into a dictatorial

run state, after a military uprising. It was due to the economic crisis that this was

allowed to happen. Therefore, I felt it was important to put a bit more emphasis on

this period in order to shed light on why the country took such a turn.

I used this source for most of my information, as it contained a vast amount of

comprehensive knowledge within the history section, especially within the history

section, namely the 20th century. It offered more than just facts, but gave

background and depth to each of the facts it gave. Moreso, it focused on landmark

social, political, and economic happenings that have shaped the country into what

it has become today, within the past century.

This source was my initial research and was used as a reference source to double

check information from other sources. It gives a good background on the history

of Brazil, though it does not contain very specific details, especially about the 20th

and 21st centuries. Yet, it did have information on certain modern events that other

sources lacked, such as the Earth Summit Conference and Treaty of Tlateloco.
