Round 3: Tossup 12
The Tenentists sought reform of this regime and allied with the Prestes Column in several revolts. This regime was founded under a “Republic of the Sword” that was overthrown after an economic crisis whose name translates to “mount the saddle,” the Encilhamento (“en-seel-ya-MEN-toh”). The stoppage of a lumber delivery sparked a war that ended with this regime’s forces massacring 25,000 followers of Anthony the Counselor. This regime’s navy mutinied under the Revolt of the Lash after it began a regional naval arms race by commissioning dreadnoughts from the UK. Under coronelism (“co-ro-nel-ism”), this regime was led from two power bases summarized in the phrase “coffee with milk.” For 10 points, Getúlio Vargas ended what republic established after the overthrow of Pedro II? ■END■
