Juscelino Kubitschek's tenure as the 21st president of Brazil began on 31 January 1956, after he won the 1955 Brazilian presidential election, and ended on 31 January 1961, when Jânio Quadros took office.[1]
His administration was characterized by the Plano de Metas (English: Goals Plan), which aimed to develop sectors such as energy, transport, food, basic industry and education. Under the slogan Cinquenta anos em cinco ("Fifty years in five"), his government was also responsible for building the new capital, Brasília, located in the Brazilian Central-West. In order to stimulate trade in cars and consumer goods, he introduced many foreign companies to Brazil, including the Chrysler and Ford automobile corporations through the Executive Group of the Automobile Industry.[1]
