The Preventative Coup of November 11,[1] sometimes called the 1955 Brazilian coup d'état or referred to as an "anti-coup"[2] or a "counter-coup"[3] (Portuguese: Novembrada, Movimento de 11 de Novembro, Contragolpe, Golpe Preventivo do Marechal Lott), was a series of military and political events led by Henrique Teixeira Lott[4] that resulted in Nereu Ramos assuming the presidency of Brazil until being peacefully succeeded by Juscelino Kubitschek a few months later. The bloodless coup removed Carlos Luz from the presidency because he was suspected of plotting to prevent Kubitschek from taking office. As a result of the tensions, Brazil had three presidents in the span of a single week.[5][6]
