The Araguaia guerrilla (Portuguese: Guerrilha do Araguaia) was an armed movement in Brazil against its military government, active between 1966 and 1974 in the Araguaia river basin. It was founded by militants of the Communist Party of Brazil (PC do B), the then Maoist counterpart to the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), which aimed at establishing a rural stronghold from whence to wage a "people's war" against the Brazilian military dictatorship, which had been in power since the 1964 coup d'état.[1] Its projected activities were based on the successful experiences led by the 26th of July Movement in the Cuban Revolution, and by the Chinese Communist Party during the Chinese Civil War.
