[QUOTE="Leonardo Scherer, post: 616469, member: 8633"]Well, here we go, the document names Roberval to a federal ministry. Getúlio was leader of the 1930 revolution, rising to power and creating a new constitution, saying in power for 15 years as a dictator. In 1945 he renounced to the presidency, being afraid of a military coup. In 1951 he was elected again, democratically. Until 1954, when 19 Generals signed a manifesto asking for his deposition. That's when he committed suicide with a shot to the heart, leaving a letter with his famous quote "I leave life to enter history". This is the gun and the shirt he was wearing when he died [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/GetulioVargasPijamaRevolver.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
