In both Brazil and Argentina, the military regimes that took power in the mid-20th century significantly hindered democratic progress until the 1980s. These authoritarian governments suppressed political dissent, restricted civil liberties, and employed violent repression against opposition groups. The economic and social turmoil during their rule further entrenched their power, delaying the return to democracy until the military governments were eventually dismantled in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

A peaceful, democratic revolution changed the country's political system in the late 1980s. New Democratic and Freedom parties were created, and in July 1990, the first democratic general election took place in Mongolia.

At present, Mongolia is making a transition from the centrally planned economy of its Soviet-style past to a free market economy.Hope this helps.

Brazil's major historical events include its discovery by Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500, the establishment of a sugarcane economy in the 16th century, and the abolition of slavery in 1888, making it one of the last countries to do so. The country declared independence from Portugal in 1822, leading to the establishment of the Empire of Brazil. Additionally, Brazil underwent a military coup in 1964, resulting in a two-decade-long military dictatorship, which ended in the 1980s, paving the way for the return to democracy. These events have significantly shaped Brazil's social, political, and economic landscapes.
