Harsh discipline and xenophobia provokes a mutiny…

1828 CE to 1839 CE

Harsh discipline and xenophobia provokes a mutiny of mercenary troops in Rio de Janeiro in June 1828; the Irish are shipped home and the Germans sent to the South.

The imperial Brazilian army is reduced to fifteen thousand members, and the antislavery Emperor Pedro, now without military muscle, faces a Parliament controlled by slaveowners and their allies.
