On November 15, 1889 Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca deposed Emperor Dom Pedro II, declared Brazil a republic, and reorganized the government. From 1889 to 1930, the government was a constitutional democracy, but democracy was nominal.
The First Brazilian Republic or República Velha (Portuguese, "Old Republic") is the period of Brazilian history from 1889 to 1930. The República Velha ended with the Brazilian Revolution of 1930 that installed Getúlio Vargas as a dictator.
