Description

On September 20, 1835, the longest and bloodiest revolution in Brazil's history began. In the province of São Pedro do Rio Grande do Sul, a Riograndense Republic was proclaimed. For nearly 10 years, the troops that remained loyal to the Empire of Brazil fought epic battles against those of the new Republic!
