 History of Brazil (1930-1945) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aside from the depression and the emergence of the Brazilian bourgeoisie, Brazil's historic dynamic of interregional politics was a significant factor encouraging the alliance that Getúlio Vargas forged between the new urban sectors and the landowners hostile to the government in states other than São Paulo during the Revolution of 1930.
By 1940 Brazil's capacity for electricity generation reached 1 million kilowatts, of which 60 percent was located in the São Paulo area, primarily due to the construction of hydroelectric power stations.
The collapse of Brazil's valorization (price support) program, a safety net in times of economic crisis, was strongly intertwined with the collapse of the central government, whose base of support resided in the landed oligarchy.

(3) With the collapse of censorship in 1945, the Rio press, overwhelmingly anti-Vargas, was filled with articles praising Sobral and his long struggle.
