Abstract

This study identifies and evaluates the various factors which have, historically, affected the formation of the Brazilian army, the primary source of political leadership within the Brazilian military class, and its political behavior during the period 1807-1930. These factors include professional preparation and conditions within the army as well as its social position, military-civilian relations, the sources of political ideology evident within the military class, the effect of immigration, and even evidence of the influence of personalities upon the nature of the political activities of Brazilian military leaders, primarily army officers.
