Resumo: The Brazilian Naval Revolt ended on March 13th of 1894 with the diplomatic asylum of more than five hundred fighters in two Portuguese warships. This episode originated a contest between Brazil and Portugal based on different interpretations of the international law of that time. While the negotiation was happening both corvettes went away from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires, where a new boat would be rented to take the asylees until Portuguese territory. The Portuguese commanders, following political instructions, have denied to the refugees the right to disembark to complete the quarantine time at Martin Garcia’s lazaretto. The discontent with the overcrowding, the fear of some epidemic on board, plus the Portuguese government's discordance to allow the disembark, were the main reasons to refugee's flee and a diplomatic contest between Portugal and Argentina. Later on, both Portuguese corvettes went to Montevideo where a similar process ended with a large escape of asylees. The Brazilian government, extremely disturbed with the escapes, decided to break the international relations with Portugal. All the process was followed by the intense telegram's exchange between diplomats, warships commanders and foreign ministers.

Este episódio originou uma disputa entre Brasil e Portugal baseada em diferentes interpretações do direito internacional da época. Em meio as negociações, as duas embarcações saíram do Rio de Janeiro e rumaram para Buenos Aires onde um novo barco seria fretado para transportá-los até território português. Ao chegar à Buenos Aires, os comandantes, cumprindo ordens, negaram-se a permitir o desembarque dos asilados para realizar a quarentena junto ao Lazareto de Martín Garcia. A insatisfação com a superlotação, somado com o receio de uma epidemia de alguma doença, proporcionou fugas de asilados e um conflito diplomático entre Portugal e a Argentina. Em seguida, as corvetas portuguesas rumaram para Montevideo, onde houve um processo semelhante e uma fuga em massa dos asilados nesta cidade. A situação desagradou o governo brasileiro que resolveu romper as relações diplomáticas com Portugal. Todo esse processo foi permeado por uma intensa troca de telegramas entre os representantes dos Estados e seus respectivos diplomatas.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2014-07-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionHistorical researchPesquisa históricaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/1655110.5433/1984-3356.2014v7n13p134Antíteses; Vol. 7 No. 13 (2014): Dossiê Cultura Marítima; 134-157Antíteses; v. 7 n. 13 (2014): Dossiê Cultura Marítima; 134-1571984-3356reponame:Antítesesinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/article/view/16551/14640Copyright (c) 2014 Antítesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos Júnior, João Júlio Gomes dos2022-02-15T16:58:56Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/16551Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antitesesPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/antiteses/oaiantiteses@uel.br||1984-33561984-3356opendoar:2022-02-15T16:58:56Antíteses - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
