[edit] End of the Estado Novo

The paragraph "Vargas was forced to take a temporary retirement. General Eurico Gaspar Dutra was elected by an economic crisis, congressional opposition, and impatience among his supporters. He announced an ambitious industrialization plan and pursued a policy of nationalization of the country's natural resources. To reduce foreign dependency, he founded the Petrobras Brazilian state oil enterprise" is horribly confused but I don't think I have have sufficient knowledge to put it right. I believe the "he" in the second and subsequent sentences refers to Vargas (certainly in the case of the foundation of petrobras) but the text reads as though that were Gaspar Dutra. And GD "... elected by an economic crisis ..." makes no ense at all. It looks like some text has been deleted by mistake - Does anyone know what it is meant to say?

It's OK, found it. History was my friend. ;-) Mucky Duck 13:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
