EspañolRIOGRANDENSE REPUBLIC
(Redirected from Piratini)
The 'Riograndense Republic', often called 'Piratini Republic' (Portuguese: ''República Rio-Grandense'' or ''República do Piratini''), was a separatist state that existed between September 11 1836 and March 1 1845 in what is now the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. It voted itself a Constitution in 1843.
It was the rebellious state in the War of Tatters and was proclaimed by Antônio de Souza Netto, who assigned Bento Gonçalves da Silva as its first president. It was led mostly by foreigners who had fought in the Argentina-Brazil War, generals who decreed that no compromise could be reached between the Brazilian Empire and Republican forces.
In 1839, the Piratini polity formed a confederation with the short-lived República Juliana (proclaimed in the same year). The rebels, who were joined by Italian military leader Giuseppe Garibaldi, attacked Santa Catarina and conquered the harbor and the city of Laguna.
In Santa Catarina, the rebels could not conquer the Imperial provincial capital of Ilha de Nossa Senhora do Desterro, because their naval forces were found and destroyed by Imperial Navy at Massiambu River (in continental land, south of Santa Catarina Island) when preparing to attack Nossa Senhora do Desterro. Mainly for this reason, the República Juliana lasted for only four months. In November, Imperial forces took Juliana's capital Laguna.
The Piratini Republic had five capitals during its nearly nine years of existence: the cities of Piratini, Alegrete, Caçapava do Sul (official capitals), Bagé (for only two weeks), and São Borja. The war between Gaúchos and Brazilian Empire ended by the Poncho Verde Treaty. The Gaúcho's separatist movement is active until current days.
