He wis oustit in a coup d'etat in 1945, efter which anither republic wis establisht.
He wis democratically electit as Preses o Brazil in 1950, enterin office in 1951, an served in this role till his suicide in 1954. [3]
He advocatit for nationalism, industrialization, centralization, social welfare an populism. He wis a supporter o warkers rights an wis verra muckle an anti-communist. Vargas wan the epithet "The Faither o the Puir." [3]
He wis pressurised by the military an ither opponents tae lea office in 1954 afore the end o his mandate. Insteid o retirin, he chose tae commit suicide by shootin himsel wi a gun an passin a bullet through his ain heart.
His suicide note,translated frae Inglis (aforehandedly translated frae the oreeginal Brazilian Portuguese) tae Scots as follaes, is thocht tae be ane o the maist important documents in Brazilian history durin the 20th century[4]:
To hatred, I respond wi' forgiveness. An tae those wha think they hae defeatit me, I answer wi' ma victory. I wis a slave o' the fowk an the day, I'm freein' masel' for eternal life. But this fowk, whase slave I wis, will nae langer be slave tae ony. Ma sacrifice will bide forever in yer souls an ma bluid will be the price o' yer redemption. I battled against the plunderin' o' Brazil. I battled against the plunderin' o' the fowk. I hae focht bare-breastit. The hatred, infamy, an calumny didnae conquer ma spirit. I hae gien ye ma life. I gied ye ma life. Now I offer ye ma daith. Nae thing remains. Calmly, I tak ma first stap on the road tae eternity an I leave life tae enter history (Levine 224)."
