Brazil evolved from a monarchy to a republic (controlled by the aristocracy) to a dictatorship to a democracy, which was overturned by a military coup. Democracy was re-established in the 1980s. Mexico set up constitutional government in 1917, but democracy was limited because one political party dominated the country until the 1990s. Now, multi-party democratic rule is developing. Argentina has a long history of being ruled by either a dictator or the military, but in the 1980s and 1990s, the country seemed to establish democratic government. South Africa nominally had a constitutional government, but it denied rights to the black majority. In response to domestic and international protests, the government allowed an all-race election. Nelson Mandela was elected, and South Africa adopted a new constitution and bill of rights. Poland had an anti-Communist movement for decades. The government banned Solidarity (an activist union) and declared martial law. An economic crisis led to additional protests, free elections, and the peaceful overthrow of Communist rule. Mikhail Gorbachev introduced many reforms to the USSR, including glasnost (openness) and democratization (a gradual opening of the political system). These reforms triggered a hard-line Communist crackdown, but this backfired. The Soviet people defied the party and demanded their rights. Soon after, the Soviet Union broke apart, and republican governments were established. Students may name other countries as examples if they provide supporting details.
