Brazilian communist uprising of 1935: Difference between revisions

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 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 [[Vargas Era #Third Brazilian Republic (Estado Novo)|''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.|date=15 March 2012 |isbn=9788537808306}}</ref>
