Abstract

In 1913, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, the government appropriated land to a foreign railway company, which gave rise to revolt by the former owners of the land. The uprising became known as the Contestado War (1912-1916), which was a guerrilla war for land between settlers and landowners, the latter supported by the Brazilian state's police and military forces. Those expropriated shaved their heads and entrenched themselves in a stronghold.
