Operation from Shifting Inland Capitals
- When
- 1836
- Where
- Piratini
The new republic operated from shifting inland capitals, including Piratini, as Porto Alegre remained under Imperial control.
After the proclamation, the republic operated from shifting inland capitals that included Piratini. This reflected the strategic reality that Porto Alegre had been recaptured by the empire in June 1836 and was never retaken by the rebels, forcing the republic to operate from inland locations rather than the provincial capital.
