Yet, how to manage the Riograndense Republic development was as important as the leadership in this conflict.

That could not be allowed to happen! The future of this young Republic hanged on a thin thread now, and thus, bravely, the leader of the revolution led six thousand horsemen to block the retreat of this force, with the infantry right behind him. Upon seeing how many gauchos were willing to put up a fight, it was clear the Emperor underestimated them, and the nine thousand loyalists, once expected to be enough to put down such secessionist uprising, marched northwards to meet up with larger forces. Heavily taxed dried beef or emancipation of African Americans, which is the better reason for secession and why? DISCUSS!!!īrazil wasted no time, and sent a large army to restore order by the beginning of 1836, to put an end to this seditious Republic before it could serve as an example for others. In 1835 the fires of the revolution ignited brightly enough for the fears of defying such a large country to be ignored. Despite several requests for reviewing these policies, they all fell on deaf ears, while together with the economical issues a growing radicalism was rising over those lands, the old ideals of the French Revolution were growing strong. However the Emperor of Brazil didn't care to a point imported charque from Uruguay and Argentina was less taxed than the one produced in his own lands, heavily taxed. Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state of the Empire of Brazil, was for too long neglected, and unlike other states, its economy was centered not on exports but over the internal market, from where their great charque, which is according to them way better than jerked beef, and the most important of their products.

Therefore I think playing with this country will be as much of a fun ride as playing as Krakow, plus with this Let's Play I have an excellent pretext to constantly mention The Brazilian Slaughter. Actually, the starting forces of BR BR could easily crush the insurrection and finish the War of Farrapos, if not for one minor detail. While Rio Grande do Sul isn't surrounded by three Great Powers, it starts the game at war with Brazil, which is bigger, richer and can build enough of an army to crush their little secessionist insurrection in a matter of a few months, and most importantly, they can afford to take losses, while the tiny Riograndense Republic can't, and time is also against them because they are too small to afford the maintenance of an army large enough to stand a chance for too long. To put it briefly, the Republic of Rio Grande do Sul is like the huehuehue version of Krakow: they start with about the same population as Krakow, except for being dispersed over a few more provinces, and only 10% of such population is literate at the game start.

There was one country I really wanted to do a Let's Play of in Vicky 2, if only if it was featured in vanilla, as the Brazilian Slaughter complained about, but thankfully, the Pop Demand mod fixed the ahistorical nonexistence of such short-lived country that is on par with Krakow regarding its odds of becoming a Great Power, or even surviving.
