Conquista Del Mundo - Brazil Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

skaven: Due to a total loss of the website hosting the game information, I have been forced to archive the challenge as the information to recreate is unavailable. Moreover, this will make room available for other cachers to place their caches.

I would like to thank all the cachers who took the time to participate in this challenge. I regret that the challenge could not be seen to its conclusion.

Geocache Description:

This micro cache is one of four caches guiding players to the "South Amerian Continent" cache as part of the Conquista Del Mundo Challenge. Visit the User's Web Page link at the top of the cache lisiting to obtain further details regarding the Conquista Del Mundo Challenge.

The centralization of power in Rio de Janeiro met with violent resistance in the Northeast. When Pernambuco raised the banner of republican rebellion in 1817, it was followed by Paraíba do Norte, Rio Grande do Norte, and the south of Ceará, each of which acted to defend local interests without thought of federating. They resented their loss of autonomy to Rio de Janeiro and the Portuguese who had settled in the Northeast since 1808. Significantly, although they sent envoys to secure recognition from Britain and the United States and to spread the revolt to Bahia, they did not send agents to central or southern Brazil. The revolt was crushed brutally.

Although unsuccessful, the 1817 "Pernambuccan revolution" shook the monarchy's foundations because it had pushed aside authority and tarnished the crown's aura of invincibility. In desperation, the monarchy responded by banning all secret societies and by garrisoning Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and Recife with fresh troops from Portugal.

With war threatening once again, who will emerge victorius?

The cache container is a typical micro container. Please note the number on the front page of the log book. You will need the name of the territory and the number to complete the coordinates for the "South Americian Continent Cache". Cache is well hidden. Please return to same spot.

Bring your own writing stick.
