War of the Emboabas
The War of the Emboabas ((ポルトガル語:Guerra dos Emboabas), "newcomers′ war"), was a war waged in the early 18th century between two generations of Portuguese settlers in the viceroyalty of Brazil - then the Captaincy of São Vicente.
Starting from the village of São Paulo dos Campos de Piratininga (now São Paulo) the Bandeirantes had explored all of current Brazil, effectively taking advantage of the union of the Crowns of Portugal and Spain from 1580 to 1640 to incorporate all the former Spanish territories then west of the Tordesilhas Line. Their goal was to capture new Indian slaves (which put them in conflict with the Jesuit Reductions), recapture runaway slaves and find precious minerals.
Their search was rewarded in a then inaccessible area just north of their original Capitania that was to become Minas dos Matos Gerais (now simply Minas Gerais). The problem was that the mines, while rich, were in a vast area they couldn't effectively settle, so it attracted a gold rush from Portugal. The newcomers, called Emboabas, found an alternative, shorter route to the sea; the Caminho Novo das Minas dos Matos Gerais to São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro on Guanabara Bay, bypassing and alienating the original discoverers.
The Bandeirantes, or simply Paulistas, tried to assert rights of precedence but were defeated. As a result the provinces of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro were formed, their capital cities of Vila Rica do Ouro Preto and São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro, respectively, became the new centers of power in the vice-kingdom of Brazil. São Sebastião (later shortened to its present name of Rio de Janeiro) became the capital city of the viceroyalty and later of the
Alternatively, according to the Dicionário Houaiss ''emboaba'' could be derived from the Tupi words ''mbo'' (do) and ''tab'' (hurt) meaning "those who invade or attack" and would be applied to a group rather than an individual.
