Answer 7

a few things you should reasearch:

1)

- the dictacture in the 60's. It changes Brazil a lot

- the slavery in Brazil

- the indians's story of Brazil

2)

a)Fernando Henrique Cardoso (the best presidente we had in most recent years). He ended our years of absurdly high inflation...

b)Presidente Getulio Vargas, beloved by many brazilians, he helped the poor

c) don't laugh, but in my opinion the super model Gisele Bunchen made a different in our country by making the whole world see us as a fashion world and we are not a country that has only Carnaval and soccer, but much much more.

Other things:

Fernando Collor was the worse president even though his fundamentals had a good point but he didn't know how to put his theories in practic... he was a thief! the worst kind... you should mention him ...

good luck

Answer 9

It isn't my country, but ...  The military coup in 1964 led to a repressive dictatorship, and democracy was restored in 1985.

President Fernando Henrique Cardoso was an effective economics minister and president.
