Ears and Conflicts of Brazil (5699 words) |
 | A constitutional convention met; Cirilo Antonio Rivarola, with Brazilian backing, was named provisional president. |

| Seen as a threat by republican officials, Canudos was assaulted by three unsuccessful military expeditions before being wiped out (with massacres of the surviving residents) by a fourth military campaign. |
