Identidade militar-revoltosa e exílio: perseguição, articulação e resistência (1922-1930)

Abstract

The present work follows the trajectory lived by the revolting military men of the 1920s, who rebelled in the name of moralizing the Republic, respecting their military status and, by extension, in disgrace to the institution of which they were a part: the Army. The route taken by the revolting military in exile, between the first armed uprising in 1922 and the 1930 Revolution was studied in this work and the group's trajectory reveals that they were together throughout the period, surviving, resisting, and fighting. In exile they organized themselves to carry out insurrections throughout the country, in 1924, followed by interventions in the southern states of Brazil, in the years 1925 and 1926, while the Column Miguel-Costa went to the North of the country. During these eight years Brazil was governed under a state of exception which, in addition to promoting the suspension of all political rights, sent military and workers to prisons in the First Republic, as political prisoners, to prisons, islands and exile camps, or to exile in several countries in South America. The formation of a professional identity based on a strong military ethos, followed by a resignification of it, which transforms into a military-revolt identity, forged during the fighting, in the prisons and in exile and based on solidarity and mutual assistance, strengthening the resistance of the rebels until the Revolution of 30.
