Study Notes

  • During the Second Brazilian Republic, which lasted from 1889 to 1930, the country was ruled by Emperor Pedro II.

  • The Second Brazilian Republic was marked by numerous changes, including the return of democracy.

  • This period ended with the proclamation of the Republic in 1930.

  • During the Second Brazilian Republic, the two main political parties were the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party.

  • The Conservative Party was supported by the government and was focused on centralizing power in the hands of the emperor.

  • The Liberal Party was supportive of greater local autonomy and advocated for free trade.

  • The distribution of power during the Second Brazilian Republic was such that the emperor had broad powers in politics.

  • The emperor represented the Moderator and was in charge of the Executive. There was also a Council of State.

  • The Liberal Party was also in charge of the Legislature, with positions such as senator and congressman.

  • One last important point to mention is that Brazil operated as a parliamentary monarchy in which the emperor always intervened when necessary to protect his interests.

  • The Second Brazilian Republic, which lasted from 1889 to 1930, was a period of great economic growth in Brazil. Coffee production was especially strong during this time, as were industrial development and exports.

  • The main reason for this growth was the end of slavery in the country, which took place gradually over a period of about a decade.

  • One of the major events of the Second Brazilian Republic was the War of the Triple Alliance, fought between Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay against Paraguay from 1864 to 1870. Brazil emerged victorious from this conflict, but the consequences for the economy and monarchy were very negative.

  • On November 15, 1889, the military led by Marechal Deodoro da Fonseca overthrew the Brazilian government, establishing the Republic.

  • The Army was the group that had the most involvement in this outcome, being dissatisfied with the monarchy since the end of the Paraguayan War.

  • This dissatisfaction led to the military conspiracies against the monarchy, culminating in Deodoro da Fonseca's overthrow of the government on November 15, 1889.

  • On that day, José do Patrocínio proclaimed the Republic in Brazil.

Test your knowledge of Brazil's history during the Second Brazilian Republic and the transition to a republic. Learn about the political parties, the economy, the role of the military, and the end of the monarchy during this period.
