Federal Territory of Acre; Federation; First Republic
The thesis investigates the creation of the Federal Territory of Acre and its impact on federalism during the First Brazilian Republic, from 1891 to 1904, examining the legal, political, and social context that led to its establishment. The research aims to ascertain how the creation of the territory was embedded in the midst of a large and complex federative conflict that had been ongoing since the transformation from empire to republic, allowing for a broader understanding of Brazilian federalism at the time.
