Incidents whose leadership involved different ranks or could not be clearly identified. See footnote 3 for further explanations. Table I was organized by Lúcia Lobo, of CPDOC, and was based mostly on the Getúlio Vargas, Osvaldo Aranha, and Bertholdo Klinger papers (CPDOC); the Góes Monteiro papers (Arquivo Nacional); memoirs of military leaders; and documents of the army and navy archives. A complete list of the incidents, with indication of sources, can be found at CPDOC.
