Insurrection of Pernambuco

Conflict in Brazil in the 17th century

The Insurrection of Pernambuco, also known as the War of the Divine Light, was a movement against Dutch rule in the Captaincy of Pernambuco. The revolution occurred in the course of the second Dutch invasion during the Dutch–Portuguese War and resulted in the expulsion of the Dutch from the northeast region of Brazil, followed by the reclamation of the territory by the Kingdom of Portugal.
