Editing Eurico Gaspar Dutra (section)

==Minister of War==
During World War II, he was among the Brazilian military leaders who were against an alignment with allies and a deeper involvement of the country in the conflict. With, although modest, [[Brazilian Expeditionary Force|Brazil's participation in the war on the Allied side]], and the growing pressure from civil society for democratization of the country, Dutra formally adhered to the idea of the end of the regime that started in 1930, participating in the following deposition of Getúlio Vargas in October 1945, continuing the interventionist doctrine, practiced at the time by the [[Brazilian army]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=McCann |first=Frank D. |author-link=Frank D.
