Aim of this revolution was to end the provisional government of Getúlio Vargas, and to replace with a constitutional government. On May 23 that year, five students (MMDC; initialen of four surnames) were killed by the federal army during a student protest. On July 9, the state of São Paulo declared war against other Brazilian states. São Paulo gained support from the states of Minas Gerais and Rio Grande do Sul, and expected a short-term battle. Despite the support of the two states, defeat of São Paulo on October 2 was inevitable. However, São Paulo won a bit: a new constitutional law and the nomination of a cilivian as governor of the Brazilian state.
