The personal prestige of G´ois Monteiro had been considerably enhanced by the Civil War. He was by far the most powerful figure in the military, and Vargas had recognised this by appointing him Minister of War in January 1934. G´ois had by now developed a coherent body of ideas on national development and national defence, as can be seen in A Revoluc¸a˜ o de 30 e a finalidade pol´ıtica do Exc´erito, a collection of his writings from 1932 and 1933 published at the beginning of 1934 and widely distributed in the army and outside, and in a letter to Vargas in January 1934 on being made Minister of War which appeared in the long depoimento (testimony) to the journalist Lourival Coutinho published as O general G´oes dep˜oe (1956).
The next day they agreed to an unconditional surrender. The Constitutionalist Revolution and the Civil War were over. S˜ao Paulo had been defeated for the second time in two years, politically in 1930, militarily in 1932. S˜ao Paulo was once again politically subordinated to the federal government in Rio de Janeiro and under military rule. Several dozen of the Constitutional Revolutions’s most prominent leaders and sympathisers were arrested or exiled to Uruguay or Argentina. ) It is perhaps a myth that S˜ao Paulo lost the war but won the peace in the sense of achieving its main political objective: elections to a Constituent Assembly.
October–November 1930 On 3 October in Rio Grande do Sul a rebellion of the state military police, armed civilians and thousands of deserters from the federal army led by Aranha, Jos´e Antˆonio Flores da Cunha and G´ois Monteiro quickly overcame the remnants of the Third Army. Porto Alegre was in rebel hands in twenty-four hours, the rest of the state in two days. Florian´opolis in Santa Catarina and Curitiba in Paran´a soon followed, and their state militias were incorporated into the rebel forces under G´ois.
