Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox officeholder Armando de Moraes Ancora (5 August 1901 – 26 September 1964) was Brazilian military army general, who fought in World War II.[1]

Military career

Ancora had served as commander of the 1st Military Region from 1959 to 1960.[2] Later, he had served as commander of the 1st Army (now the Eastern Military Command), during the 1964 coup d'état, from 1963 to 1964.[1][3]

After finding out about the split in the army, Ancora chose to avoid armed conflicts between the loyalists (favorable to the coup) and the counter-revolutionary troops (supporters of president João Goulart, as the coup supporters called it a "revolution") who wanted to stop them.[1][4]

In a meeting in Resende, Rio de Janeiro, Armando Ancora, who had just assumed office as interim Minister of War, replacing general Jair Dantas Ribeiro, declared the end of the resistance of the forces who gave protection to the government.[1][4]

Besides commanding the 1st Army, general Ancora was head of the Federal District Police during the Rua Toneledo shooting in August 1954, which led to his resignation, before the suicide of Getúlio Vargas, being one of the few military personnel loyal to Vargas, along with general Manuel César de Góis Monteiro.[1]
