O papel do militar-estadista na construção do monopólio estatal do petróleo no Brasil

This paper examines the role of the armed forces as a key element in the state oil monopoly in Brazil, emphasizing the importance of nationalist current. The planning of the energy mix was the result of a joint effort between the different Armed Forces and the State. In the early twentieth century, this process was implemented, spontaneously, to ensure the energy supply necessary for economic development of the nation. For General Horta Barbosa, oil symbolized the growth and development of Brazil in the long term. To examine these questions, we begin to explain the importance of the Military Club as the think tank that stimulated discussions between the various currents. This period ended with the creation of the National Petroleum Council. With Dutra coming to power, the campaign “The oil is ours” was one of the important landmarks of the actions of the military in the state monopoly construction process. Oil, for these military statesmen, was capable of enormous economic progress, political and strategic for Brazil. During this period, General Horta Barbosa had to deal with the current liberal on multiple occasions in favor of the Brazilian state in search of political independence, economic and energy of the country
