Beberibe Convention

Pernambuco was the first Brazilian province to secede from the Kingdom of Portugal. On 29 August 1821, an armed movement began against Captain-General Luís do Rego Barreto—the executioner of the Pernambuco Revolt—culminating in the formation of the Junta of Goiana, which was victorious with the surrender of the Portuguese troops in a capitulation signed on 5 October of the same year, at the Beberibe Convention, which expelled the Portuguese troops from Pernambuco.^[1][2][3][4]

The Constitutionalist Movement of 1821 is often considered the first episode of the Independence of Brazil.^[1]
