Bolivian customs office at Puerto Alonso prompts declaration of the Republic of Acre

Brazilian troops arrested Gálvez in March 1900, abolishing the republic and restoring Bolivian control.

The first republic lasted until March 1900, when the Brazilian government sent troops to arrest Gálvez and restore Acre to Bolivia. President Campos Sales abolished the ephemeral republic under protests from Bolivia. Gálvez surrendered to the Brazilian Navy task force on March 11, 1900, at the Caquetá rubber plantation.
