The '''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: ''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|Comintern]].<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}}</ref>

Despite its failure, the Communist revolt had provided a justification or pretext for assigning more power to Getúlio Vargas. 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 November 10, 1937, which closed the National Congress of Brazil, canceled the upcoming 1938 presidential elections, and made [[Getúlio Vargas]] rule as a dictator. This period of Vargas dictatorship is called the ''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.|isbn=9788537808306}}</ref> In early 1936, in an attempt to find those responsible for the failure of the uprising, Prestes ordered the 18-year-old Elza Fernandes, girlfriend of the PCB's secretary general, to be assassinated. Prestes suspected that she was a police informant, which later proved to be a mistake.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Nussbaum|first=Martha|date=2008|title=Interview - Martha Nussbaum|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.5840/tpm200840112|journal=The Philosophers' Magazine|issue=40|pages=51–54|doi=10.5840/tpm200840112|issn=1354-814X|hdl=1866/3293|hdl-access=free}}</ref>
 
=== List of the deadcasualties ===
There is no complete assessment of the victims, with legalistsloyalists 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 only in the Recife uprising and another twenty in the Praia Vermelha uprising in Rio de Janeiro, and it is still necessary to account for the deaths occurred 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}}</ref>Among the loyalist troops involved in the fighting there were 22 fatalities. The Brazilian Army lists a total of 30 victims without, however, disclosing whether they were loyalists or insurgents.
