Military Question

The state of the military question. A drawing published in the magazine Revista Illustrada by Angelo Agostini in 1887 satirizing the impasse between the military and civilian authorities

The Military Question was a series of incidents between officers of the Imperial Brazilian Army and civilian authorities of the Empire of Brazil that occurred between 1884 and 1887. This clash between military and civilians worsened the empire's political crisis and gave new impetus to the republican movement in the country. Just like abolitionism and the Religious Issue, the so-called military question contributed to the crisis of the imperial regime in Brazil, culminating in the proclamation of the republic in 1889.[1]
