- Getúlio Vargas, nicknamed "the father of the poor", was a Brazilian president, lawyer, politician, and dictator who served as the 14th and 17th president of Brazil. Vargas rose to power in 1930 under a provisional presidency, remaining until 1934 where he was elected under a 1934 Constitution. Three years later, Vargas would seize powers under the context of a potential communist revolution, beginning an 8-year long dictatorship with Vargas at its center. Though he was ousted in 1945 after fifteen years of being president, he returned in 1951 after being elected by the people.- IMDb mini biography by: CULTZONE Filmes
