Question 11 (Adapted) - IF-PE - 2018 - Recife was elevated to the status of a village after more than a decade of political tensions between merchants and kingdoms, desirous of gaining access to local power, and planters from the land, jealous of their spaces of representation. The creation of the new village by royal order of November 19, 1709, far from resolving the issue, fueled the conflict that unfolded in a small civil war known at the time as the “calamities of Pernambuco” and, from the 19th century onwards, as the “war of the peddlers”. Despite fierce resistance from the landed nobility, the group of businessmen from the Kingdom of Portugal prevailed, and Recife's municipality consolidated itself as an organ of local power, surpassing its 16th century counterpart in Olinda.
