Study Notes

  • The oligarchy in Brazil during the 1890s and early 1900s was characterized by the alternating of power between the coffee oligarchies of Minas Gerais and São Paulo.

  • The presidents of this era were usually elected by the Paulista Republican Party and the Mineiro Republican Party.

  • From the 1930s onwards, some historians call this period the First Republic, the Old Republic, or the Republic of Coffee and Milk.

  • The word oligarchy comes from the Greek and means "government of few." An oligarchy is a government that is dominated by a group of people or families who are united by the same economic activity or political party.

  • As oligarchies form closed groups that reject any form of different thought, even in democracy, it is possible for there to be cases of oligarchic government.

  • During the oligarchy, there were no national political parties as there are today, only state parties.

  • The exception was the Conservative Party of Rio Grande do Sul, which had support in the north and northeast of Brazil.

  • Despite not being able to elect a president, the Republican Party of Rio Grande do Sul was very important in Brazilian politics.

  • Prudente de Morais was the first civilian president elected after Marshal Floriano Peixoto, and his term lasted from 1894 to 1898.

  • Campos Salles was the president elected after Morais and served from 1898 to 1898.

  • Getúlio Vargas was the candidate who was defeated in the 1930 elections and he became the dictator of Brazil in 1931.

  • With the 1930 Revolution, other social actors enter the political scene, changing some of the ways government was conducted.
