  • The Farroupilha Revolution or War of the Farrapos was a Republican uprising that began in southern Brazil, in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina in 1835. The rebels, led by generals Bento Gonçalves da Silva and Antônio de Sousa Neto with the support of the Italian fighter Giuseppe Garibaldi, surrendered to imperial forces in 1845. The war was the cause of the rushed coronation in 1841 of Dom Pedro II, in direct violation of the Brazilian constitution. It is considered the second bloodiest of the failed wars of independence in the Brazilian Empire, after the War of Cabanagem. Wikipedia
