1930 Revolution

The 1930 Revolution in Brazil was a military-led uprising that ended the dominance of the federal government and marked the beginning of a new political era. It was driven by regional military leaders and reformists who sought greater regional representation and modernized governance. The revolution resulted in the overthrow of President Washington Luís and the rise of Getúlio Vargas, who eventually established a new political order focused on centralized authority, industrialization, and social reforms. This event significantly altered Brazil's political landscape, ending the Old Republic and initiating a period of rapid change and national development.
