↑ Elected president on the March 1, 1930 election for the period 11/15/1930 – 11/15/1934, Prestes was so proclaimed, but unable to take office by the outbreak of the Brazilian Revolution of 1930, a coup d'état led by Getúlio Vargas and huge sectors of the Brazilian Armed Forces, in conclusion of the Tenentism movements. A Military Junta assumed power immediately, and passed it on to Vargas.
Post-scriptum:. Vargas ran in the 1930 election, but lost to Prestes and disputed the results, accusing the fraudulent process. Fraud was perpetrated by both campaigns.
