• Second Brazilian Empire Declared

4 August 1922

*The Second Brazilian Empire* is a **constitutional monarchy (Social Conservatism**) under the government of **Pedro III.** The Second Brazilian Empire used to be one of the most powerful nations in South America, but it is currently experiencing some economic problems.

## **History**

In 1870, the Empire of Brazil was winning the Paraguay war, but with several costs. The Imperial army were falling apart, the economy was almost bankrupting and the rebellions in Paraguay could not be supressed, Brazil was passing through difficult moments.

The years after the Paraguay War were hard to Brazil, with a broke economy, the brazilians were concerned about the country's situation, this led some people to create secret political parties to spread the desire to change the country.

In 1889, a little part of the Imperial Army was commanded to depose the emperor in his palace, this movement was called the Republican Coup and was leaded by Deodoro da Fonseca. The Marine Corps were in the side of Pedro II, but he didn’t want to shed blood, so he and his family surrender to the “republicans” and went into an exile in France.

After the fall of the Empire of Brazil in 1889, the great country of South America entered a strong economic crisis. President Deodoro da Fonseca was unable to solve the problems that the country was facing, and he did not want to resign, because it would lead the population to see the instability of the republic, so he committed suicide in 1895, the government told the Brazilians that he was murdered, so the real problems would not be disclosed.

Pedro II and his family were into the exile, but they were attentive to the situation of Brazil, unfortunally, they couldn’t do anything.

Years had passed, it’s 1907, the crisis was reduced a lot, but still exist. The population was enfuriated with the government leaded by Afonso Pena, a fearful person that kept the idea that Brazil couldn't recover itself, with this idea, he stain the image of Brazil to other countries leaving that Brazil was a fragile and unstable country. This lead the population to make revolts in the capital, this scared Pena a lot, forcing him to waive. The government had no person to nominate as president, because the vice president Nilo Peçanha, was assassinated while he was sleeping, the assassin didn’t get caught. So, Brazil was assumed by a provisional government. The first few months was good, but it was only a mirage, the economic crisis got worse, the inflation exploded, the famine reached Brazil, so elections were called immediatly, nominating Venceslau Brás as the president. He tried hard, but couldn’t control the inflation. The situation remained in this way for long years.

In 1921, the crisis still exist, the presidente Epitácio Pessoa was being guilty by the situation of the country. The political parties of the country took advantage of the crisis, saying that they could fix Brazil and bring back the glory of the country. Unfortunaly the population was divided, the South was dominated by the liberals, they did say that the economy could be saved by the truly liberalism, the west and the north was dominated by the socialists, they did say that the capitalism was the culprit by the economic crisis, and the east was dominated by the monarchists, they did say that after the republican coup the problems appears, so they wanted bring back the great nation that reigned in South America. The “teams” were formed and they just needed a reason to put their plans in action, and the reason appeared in september of 1921, the presidente Epitácio went to Rio de Janeiro to give a speak about the crisis, so when he reached the city, his transport was intercepted by rebels and he was assassinated. The news reached all of the country very fast, so the regions of Brazil gave a lot of speaks and rebellions to “save” the country. There were so many rebellions that a civil war started between the monarchists, the liberalists and the socialists, all of them agreed that they won’t ask for help to other countries to this don’t turn into a big war. The monarchists used some strategies of the imperial army to weaken their enemies, adopting defensive positions. The socialists went on a full offensive doctrine, trying to take the max of lands that they could, the liberalists do the same, but with caution. The situation remained in this way to a few month, the socialists were totally annihilated by the monarchists and the liberalists. The triple civil war turned into a normal civil war, the monarchists and the liberalists knew how to fight and they just maintain their defensives doctrines. One year has passed and the Brazilian civil war was near to an end, the monarchists were close to the liberalists capital, so they encircled the city (Porto Alegre) and ask for a treaty of peace. Finally, in 4 of august of 1922, the civil war comes to an end, with the monarchists winning.

The first thing that they did were bring back the Imperial Family of Brazil, unfortunately, Pedro II and his wife wasn’t alive anymore, only his great-grandchildren was bring back. Because his age, he couldn’t assume the throne, so a provisional government was put in power to take care of the country till Pedro Henrique de Órleans e Bragança (Great-grandchildren of Pedro II) reach the age of majority.

The revolts after the civil war were frequent, but the provisional government managed to contain them. The devastation left by the civil war was incredibly big, but with the years it did get smaller. Most of the industries were destroyed, but all of the population (at least what’s left) helped the country to recover.

Many years had passed, the shadows of the civil war remain, but the country has largely recovered, now, with Pedro Henrique de Órleans e Bragança in his rightful throne, the prestige of the old empire of Brazil can be bring back.

## **Politics**

#### Reactionism

**Reacionários** - The reactionary party is followed by a few and they are not taken seriously. The party believes that, for the monarchy to prosper, it is necessary to be absolutist, they say that parlamentarism divides the country. They are in favor of radical right-wing ideologies. Most of the party's followers also extol the integralists.

#### Socialism

**Partido Socialista Revolucionário** - The revolutionary socialist party (RSP) is almost unknown to Brazilians. After the devastating defeat in the Brazilian civil war, the party had dissolved and all its followers divided. The party resurfaced a few years after the end of the civil war and gained some followers. They believe in the maximum state in the economy and the end of social classes and private property. They are extremely opposed to the integralists, but they do not get along very well with the communists, because they believe that the BCP is not fervent in the cause.

#### Totalism

**Partido Comunista Brasileiro** - The Brazilian Communist Party (BCP) is followed by few people. The party is always compared to the revolutionary socialist party, but they are not on good terms.
