Line 51: == Outbreak of uprisings == The first military uprising broke out on ~~November~~ 23, November 1935, in [[Natal, Rio Grande do Norte\|Natal]] where communists successfully created a provisional government just outside the city for some time. The next day, another military uprising took place in [[Recife]]. On the 27th, a revolt broke out in [[Rio de Janeiro]], the capital of the country at that time. From Rio de Janeiro, Luís Carlos Prestes the day before was still attempting to rally support from other high ranking military officials, including Newton Estillac Leal, who would ignore his plea and inform the government of these attempts at communication. Citizens in Natal and Recife were distributed military surplus to fight along with the insurgent revolutionaries against loyalist troops.<ref>{{Cite book\|last=Sa Motta\|first=Rodrigo\|title=On Guard Against the Red Menace\|year=2020}}</ref> Line 65: == Aftermath == [[File:At Rio de Janeiro 2019 574.jpg\|thumb\|Monument to the Victims of the Uprising, at Praia Vermelha, [[Urca]], [[Rio de Janeiro]]]] Despite its failure, the communist revolt gave Vargas the pretext for acquiring more power. After November 1935, the National Congress of Brazil approved a series of laws that restricted its own power, while the executive gained almost unlimited powers of repression. This process culminated in the coup of ~~November~~ 10, November 1937, which closed the National Congress of Brazil, canceled the upcoming 1938 presidential elections, and installed [[Getúlio Vargas]] as a dictator. This period of dictatorship is called the ''Estado Novo'', which lasted until 1945.<ref>{{Cite book\|last=Chirio\|first=Maud\|title=The politics in the barracks: revolts and protests by officers in the Brazilian military dictatorship.\|isbn=9788537808306}}</ref> === List of casualties ===
