Nereu Ramos vs Trygve Bratteli

Nereu Ramos was elected Vice President of Brazil in 1955, serving under President Juscelino Kubitschek. This position made him a key figure in the government.

After the military coup that ousted Carlos Luz on November 11, 1955, Nereu Ramos, as Vice President, assumed the presidency on an interim basis. He served from November 11, 1955, to January 31, 1956, overseeing the transition to the elected government of Juscelino Kubitschek.

After serving as interim president, Nereu Ramos returned to the Chamber of Deputies and was elected its President in 1956. He held this position until 1958.

Bratteli was arrested by the Nazi occupation forces in Norway in 1943 for resistance activities. He was sent to the Grini concentration camp in Norway and later to the Sachsenhausen camp in Germany, where he survived until liberation in 1945.

On March 17, 1971, Bratteli became Prime Minister, leading a Labour Party government. His tenure focused on expanding the welfare state and managing the early stages of Norway's oil boom, including the establishment of Statoil.

Bratteli resigned as Prime Minister in October 1972 after a referendum rejected Norwegian membership in the European Economic Community (EEC). The result was a major defeat for his government, which had strongly supported membership.

Bratteli's government established Statoil (now Equinor) as a state-owned oil company in 1972. This decision ensured that Norway retained control over its oil resources and became a major player in the global energy market.

Bratteli returned as Prime Minister in October 1973 after the Labour Party won the general election. His second term was marked by economic challenges, including inflation and the oil crisis, and he resigned again in 1976.
