| | A constitution like that of the United States was adopted in 1891, and Brazil officially became the United States of Brazil. | | | Unsuccessful in his bid for the presidency in 1930, Vargas led a revolt that overthrew the government. | | | Popular pressure in Brazil compelled his son, Dom Pedro, to declare Brazil independent in 1822, and so Brazil became an Empire with a monarchy, while the rest of North and South American became republics. |
