=== Pernambuco
In the first years as an independent nation, Pernambuco faced a myriad of issues. Poverty affected much of the population, the country had little infrastructure, and faced one of the worst droughts in record. The government was initially ruled by a military junta of influential individuals that got recognition during the independence war. In 1885, the first national direct election was held, but without the totality of the adult male population voting. The dispute ends up once again with the military taking control of the executive power.
