In august 1920, facing riots on a monthly basis in Belém, Manaus, Santarém and other urban centers, along the troubles on the west of the country, the unpopular president Alberto Nunes renounced his post as president in a nationwide radio broadcast. Nunes soon left the country and took exile in Bahia, where lived until his death in 1953. The vice-president Mário de Sousa was recognized as president on the same day.
 
Sousa’s first actions were dismantle the parliament, chase opposition and give permission to the national guard to respond with force to the riots, all on the argument of keeping the national order. Opposition publications also started to suffer censorship, as they were seen as “rebellion inducing”. Later on the year, Sousa's government started talks with Peru. The main topics was support to deal with the rebellions near the Peruvian border.
