This dissertation aims to study the public entity called "Juventude Brasileira", wich existed during the Estado Novo . This shall include understanding the role assigned to young people by the dictatorial government of Vargas, especially of a huge mass of "young minds" that could "mobilize" for the benefit of the nation and of the political regime in times of severe crisis caused by World War II. It is clear the influence of other youth organizations controlled by other States in another countries, especially those created by the German, Italian and portuguese fascist regimes. It is, for that matter, a Brazilian product adapted to the spirit of the time. However the Brazilian version did not accept the German feature in 1938, when the Minister of Justice Francisco Campos, presented the original project of its creation, which was modeled by the military education. From the long debate held between the higher authorities came in 1940, the final form, presented by the Minister of Education Gustavo Capanema. The Juventude Brasileira therefore lost the original military character, without requiring any special bureaucratic mechanism, making use of the existing structure, became an auxiliary educational organization that included all students between seven and eighteen years old. It has become an important tool in the hands of the authorities as an element of social mobilization, with their paredes, that worked much as official propaganda. In general, society accepted the "Juventude Brasileira", who also served as a bridge of contact and dialogue with an authoritarian government.
