Restoration War

The Restoration War (1863-1865) was a conflict in the Brazilian Empire, primarily involving a struggle for power between the monarchy and republican forces. It aimed to restore the monarchy and stabilize the country after periods of political turmoil and regional conflicts. With key battles in the southern provinces, particularly in Rio Grande do Sul, the war culminated with the defeat of the rebel forces. Ultimately, it reinforced the imperial authority and confirmed the emperor’s power, but it highlighted the tensions between different political factions within Brazil, shaping the country’s future political landscape.
