Which time period would they erase? I got the idea for this thread from Family Guy when the main characters went on vacation to Germany and found that their tourism pamphlets were missing the years between 1939 and 1945. What time periods would other countries around the world erase?
Argentina: 1974-1983
Belgium: 1885-1908
Brazil: 1964-1985....
Frivolous perhaps, but you would lose some of the best popular music ever written in the country, and presumably the various performers and writers of that period would disappear along with their work. So, the good intention of wiping out the period of the dictatorship would also erase a lot of great cultural heritage and no small number of very fine people.
Actually Brazil never have some great time, it is still dreaming about its "future"...
That military regime wasn't something that special in the politic history of Brazil.
The fake "re-election" of the "presidenta" at current time is possible one of the worst periods of the brazilian history (including the cultural scenary...)
I don't think the U.S. would want to erase any part of its history. It has learned the lessons of the past and come out to be a winning nation in just about every era (so far). Plus, the U.S. stock market is at all-time record highs. :-)

The imperial period was good.
Despite of the delay in the abolishment of the slavery, Brazil was living an era of many militar and diplomatic triumphs, was regarded worldwide as a modern and progressist country, with a stable and solid economy, and the emperor Pedro II was one of the most enlightened leaders of the world. The image of Brazil was pretty the opposite of what is nowadays.
After that, Brazil never had a "golden age", but in recent times Brazil is decadent in all senses and is in low positions in every single international ranking: HDI, income, economic growth, safety (Brazil is the country with most homicides in the world), and so one. Worse than this, only if Brazil were a communist or theocratic country, or a failed state like Somalia and Afghanistan. I don't hope if it will improve in the next decades. If Brazil will ever become a first-world country at all, I'll certainly be dead.
I guess it because of the immigration policy. Anyway New Zealand, Canada, USA and South Africa also held similar immigration restrictions as well.
