Some examples from Brazil

[edit]

In 1942, amidst nationalist and anti-Italian movements, after a complaint from the National Defense League, the central square of Caxias do Sul, named after Dante Alighieri, was renamed to Ruy Barbosa square, and Avenida Itália (Italy Avenue) became Avenida Brasil (Brazil Avenue). They were renamed back in 1990.[1][2]

Em 2014, the city council of Porto Alegre renamed Castelo Branco Avenue, named after the first president od the Brazilian military dictatorship, to Avenida da Democracia e Legalidade (Democracy and Legality Avenue), referencing the movement dubbed Campanha da Legalidade (Legality Campign) which sought to keep João Goulart in the presidency in 1961.[3][4] In 2018, the avenue was renamed again to Castello Branco (with an additional "L") after appeals in court claiming that the decision, which was taken by simple majority, should have had a 2/3 majority in the council.[5][6][7]
