He also served as a senator (1946-51) and the popularly elected president (1951-54). Provisional President Getúlio Dornelles Vargas ruled as dictator (1930-34), congressionally elected president (1934-37), and again dictator (1937-45), with the backing of his revolutionary coalition. His meteoric political career started in 1909, when he was elected State Deputy in 1922, he was elected Federal Deputy in 1926, he was Minister of Finances in 1928, he was elected governor of Rio Grande do Sul. He attended military schools as a youth, but majored in Laws in 1907. He was born in the city of São Borja, Rio Grande do Sul, on April 19th 1883. Getulio Dornelles Vargas was the most expressive character of the Brazilian Republic. Just as the 1889 regime change led to a decade of unrest and painful adjustment, so too did the revolts of 1930.
