1930 - Revolt places Getulio Vargas at head of provisional revolutionary government.
----------------------------
On November 15, 1889, Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca deposed the emperor Dom Pedro II, declared Brazil a republic, and reorganized the government of the country

From 1889 to 1930, the government was a constitutional democracy with the presidency alternating between the dominant states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais (This regime is often referred to as "Café com Leite"- Coffee with Milk, after the respective agricultural products of the two states). This period ended with a military coup that placed Getúlio Vargas, a civilian, in the presidency; Vargas remained as dictator until 1945

The Brazilian republic was not an ideological offspring of the republics born of the French or American revolutions, although the Brazilian regime would attempt to associate itself with both. The republic did not have enough popular support to risk open elections. It was a regime born of a coup d'état that maintained itself by force. The republicans made Deodoro president (1889–91) and, after a financial crisis, appointed Field Marshal Floriano Vieira Peixoto minister of war to ensure the allegiance of the military.

Well, I´m a Brazilian and I think I can answer you:
Brazil was discovered in 1500, by the Portuguese navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral.In 1822, my country became independent.
And in 1889, it became a republic.
Nowadays, we have a leader elected in a democratic way.
