At 2:25 pm on Saturday, November 13, 1937, the first cabinet meeting of Brazil’s newly self-proclaimed dictator Getúlio Vargas convened at the Catete presidential palace. Three days earlier Vargas had closed congress, installed a new constitution and proclaimed a drastically reconfigured Brazilian nation state: the Estado Novo [New State]. Saturday’s weather forecast for the Rio de Janeiro area called for storms with rain, an outlook consistent with disturbances brewing in Europe and Asia foreshadowing even darker days ahead.
