March To The West (Brazil)
The March to the West (Portuguese: ''Marcha para o Oeste'') was a public policy engendered by the government of Getúlio Vargas during the Estado Novo (1937–1945) in order to develop and integrate the Center-West and North regions of Brazil, which until that moment had a low population density, quite different from what occurred in the Brazilian coastal region.

The region was nothing more than a huge and unexplored spot in Brazilian geography. Apart from that, this policy also aimed at the creation of a feeling of nationality and belonging in these areas in the entire Brazilian population. The notion of territorial "void" updated the concept of "''sertão''", understood as an abandoned space that since Euclides da Cunha's denunciations had been worrying Brazilian elites interested in building a n ...
