The '''Brazilian communist uprising of 1935''' ([[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]: ''Intentona Comunista'') was a military revolt in [[Brazil]] led by [[Luís Carlos Prestes]] and leftist low-rank military against [[Getúlio Vargas]]'s government on behalf of the [[National Liberation Alliance (Portuguese:Brazil)|National Liberation Alliance]] (''Aliança Nacional Libertadora -'', ANL). It took place in the cities of [[Natal, Rio Grande do Norte|Natal]], [[Recife]], and the capital [[Rio de Janeiro]] between 23 and 27 November 1935. The uprising was supported by the [[Brazilian Communist Party]] (PCB), then called the Communist Party of Brazil, and the [[Communist International]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://cpdoc.fgv.br/producao/dossies/FatosImagens/RevoltaComunista |access-date=2015-11-02 |title=A revolta comunista de 1935 |language=pt |archive-date=2015-12-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222135755/http://cpdoc.fgv.br/producao/dossies/FatosImagens/RevoltaComunista |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Despite its failure, the communist revolt gave Vargas the pretext for acquiring more power. After November 1935, the National Congress of Brazil approved a series of laws that restricted its own power, while the executive gained almost unlimited powers of repression. This process culminated in the coup of 10 November 1937, which closed the National Congress of Brazil, canceled the upcoming 1938 presidential elections, and installed [[Getúlio Vargas]] as a dictator. This period of dictatorship is called the ''[[Estado Novo (Brazil)|Estado Novo]]'', which lasted until 1945.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Chirio|first=Maud|title=The politics in the barracks: revolts and protests by officers in the Brazilian military dictatorship.|date=15 March 2012 |isbn=9788537808306}}</ref>
 
=== List of casualtiesCasualties ===
There is no complete assessment of the victims, with loyalists and insurgents joining in all the events that took place. Among the insurgents it is difficult to find a complete list with the names of the victims, but it is estimated that at least one hundred died in the Recife uprising alone and another twenty in the Praia Vermelha uprising in Rio de Janeiro, which leaves uncounted the deaths occurring in Natal and other barracks in Rio de Janeiro.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Correio da Manhã - 11/26/1935|year=1935}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title="The Communist Intentona: what is a fact and what is a rumor" .|url=http://www.pitoresco.com/historia/republ207.htm|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303230554/http://www.pitoresco.com/historia/republ207.htm |archive-date=2016-03-03 }}</ref>
