The '''Federal Republic of Pampas''', '''Pampas Republic''', or '''Gaucho Pampas''' (''República Federal dos Pampas'' in [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]) is the name of a proposed independent state, advocated by the [[separatism|separatist]] movement for the establishment of a new [[nation]] in southern [[Brazil]]--the states of [[Rio Grande do Sul]], [[Santa Catarina (state)|Santa Catarina]] and [[Paraná (state)|Paraná]]). The movement has risen out of [[Economy|economical]], [[politic]]al and [[Culture|cultural]] factors. It is named after the [[Pampas]] [[subregion|region]]. This area is colloquially called ''gaucho pampas''. |
|||
==Early history== |
|||
Inhabitated by the [[gaucho]]s, Rio Grande do Sul was at one time independent. In September 1836, [[Antônio de Sousa Neto]], a leader in the [[War of Tatters|Farroupilha Revolution]] had proclaimed the independence of the '''[[Piratini Republic]]'''. The first president was [[Bento Gonçalves]]. The newly-proclaimed republic gained international recognition from the [[United Kingdom]]. However, in February 1845 the [[Ponche Verde Treaty]] returned the republic to the [[Brazilian Empire]]. Once again, in September 1892, a revolt proclaimed the independence of '''Rio-Grandense Republic''' that lasted until 1894. |
|||
==Later history== |
|||
In [[1992]] Movement for the Independence of the Pampas led by [[Irton Marx]] proclaimed the independence of '''Federal Republic of Pampas''' and started to make a campaign for a voting to decide whether or not the majority of the people would want the [[secession]] of the southern states, whose official languages would be [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[German language|German]] and [[Italian language|Italian]]. There is also a proposal about the joining of [[São Paulo (state)]]. The movement is partly inspired by the fact that these three states are mostly inhabited by [[Caucasian race|Caucasians]] (rather by than the mostly [[mulatto]] population of the rest of Brazil), and the most conservatives feel that for that reason these three states should be independent from Brazil, although it isn't the most important reason for separatism in the area, which is historical. |
