1893 coup
The 1893 coup in Brazil was a political event where the military and political leaders orchestrated a sudden takeover to remove President Floriano Peixoto, who was seen as unpopular and autocratic. They aimed to restore civilian government and uphold constitutional order. The coup involved strategic military actions and negotiations, leading to the peaceful resignation of Peixoto and the transfer of power to a new president, ruling within democratic frameworks. This event marked a key step in Brazil's transition from military influence to a more civilian-led political system.
