Twentieth-century Europe, the scene of the First and Second World Wars, was the epicenter of battles that shaped the course of humanity and revealed the names of both villains and heroes. One of these notable figures was Maurice Gustave Gamelin (1872 - 1958), a senior general in the French army. A great strategist who saved countless soldiers with his tactics, Gamelin also played an important role in the New World, and from 1919 to 1924, he headed the French military mission in Brazil, with the aim of modernizing the Brazilian army.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGamelin arrived in the country with an important task: first, to reorganize the military schools and, later, the army itself. The contract signed between France and Brazil stipulated that French officers would command the officer training schools, a step towards professionalizing the army. This restructuring also gave rise to the Brazilian Aviation School, the embryo of the now respected Brazilian Air Force (FAB). The French brought to Brazil an idea that was in vogue in Europe at the time: the purpose of the army was to prepare the national forces for war. And it was from this period onwards that military mobilization began to be seen as a national mobilization.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe general was warmly welcomed in the country, as can be seen in the letter written to him in 1919 by the National Defense League, which expressed great happiness at his arrival and the desire for rigorous training for the Brazilian army.

His dedication to the mission is also remembered in a letter sent by a Brazilian friend to congratulate him on his marriage in 1929.

The legacy of this great strategist can still be seen today in the conception of the Brazilian military, even though more than a century has passed. Society's perception of both the army and the idea of ​​war itself has changed profoundly over the years, yet Gamelin's importance goes beyond his collaboration with the armed forces; in such a mixed-race and culturally diverse country, his work contributed to the construction of the idea of ​​a Brazilian nationality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHere we have three letters with very relevant content that will delight collectors interested in the military history of Brazil and the world.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glórias | Autógrafos e Manuscritos Raros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37266245648543,"sku":"333DEL26","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1945\/8243\/products\/carta-manuscrita-para-maurice-gamelin-militaria-brasil-1a.jpg?v=1682366871"},{"product_id":"bereau","title":"Annotated photograph of a flight by Alberto Santos Dumont (1904)","description":"\u003ch2\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\"Santos standing atop the military parade on July 14, 1904.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHandwritten letter from Louis \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eBereau\u003c\/span\u003e to Albert Tissandier, with a period photograph in postcard format and text about Alberto Santos Dumont.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e July or August 1904, Paris.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e 14 cm x 9 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e In French.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Excellent condition \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003econservation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Unique piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eWe often wonder who invented the airplane.

In 1969, Brazil won its third Football World Cup. Pelé, the team's star and top scorer in the final, saw the victory celebrated as a national triumph, strengthening, in a way, the legitimacy of the military regime which needed a world achievement to consolidate the image of a successful country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this context, this letter addresses Pelé's controversial relationship with the military dictatorship in Brazil. His stance generated debates and divergent interpretations about his role during that turbulent period of Brazilian History.

But it is worth remembering that when he left the Brazilian national team in 1971, Pelé confronted several politicians of the country's military regime, also faced powerful sports officials, such as João Havelange, and had to deal with racism from public opinion that persists to this day, even after his passing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLetters from Pelé are extremely rare; this one is exceptional due to the recipient and the political and sporting context.

He spent long periods in a famous rest home, Valmont, in Glion-sur-Montreux, Switzerland, from where he wrote this letter. Multiple sclerosis? Depression? Biographers disagree, but the fact is that his condition worsened and he was unable to attend the tributes that had been planned for him. In 1927, when Charles Lindbergh crossed the North Atlantic in a solo flight, Santos Dumont was invited to the reception, but he did not attend because he was hospitalized in Valmont-sur-Territet, Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e It was from there, in 1926, that he attempted an appeal to the League of Nations (now the UN), through his friend, Ambassador Afrânio de Melo Franco, the Brazilian representative at the meeting to be held on January 14th.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“I read in several newspapers that there are plans to limit the actions of submarines, prohibiting them from taking an active part in future wars.

The CNPI was the first Brazilian governmental body, alongside the Indigenous Protection Service (SPI), specifically dedicated to indigenous policy. They were created in 1910 with the aim of protecting indigenous peoples from abuse and exploitation, and to promote the pacification and integration of these peoples with Brazilian society, avoiding violent conflicts. The Council worked on several fronts, including the demarcation of indigenous lands, health, and education, seeking to ensure that the rights of indigenous people were respected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRondon (1865-1958), a Brazilian Army officer of indigenous descent, explored Mato Grosso and the Western Amazon Basin.

The Brazilian state of Rondônia was named in his honor.\u003c\/p\u003e\nIt was a pioneer at the time, given that previous indigenous policies were often characterized by confrontation and exploitation of indigenous peoples.
