João Cândido Felisberto (the leader of the conspiracy) was sent to England to learn about the new dreadnought Minas Gerais. The mutiny took place fromNovember 22 toNovember 27 ,1910 , in Rio de Janeiro, which was by that time the capital of Brazil.During the Chibata mutiny, more than 2,000 sailors rebelled against the use of physical punishments to their faults, and they shot Presidential Palace (Palácio do Catete) and threatened Government to bomb all Rio de Janeiro, if the use of Chibata (a kind of whip) were not stopped in Navy 22 years after the Slavery Abolition (Abolição).
