Kornilov affair The Kornilov affair, or the Kornilov putsch, was an attempted military coup d'état by the then Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army, General Lavr Kornilov, in September 1917 (August old style) against the Russian Provisional Government headed by Aleksander Kerensky and the Petrograd Soviet of Soldiers and Workers Deputies. The affair began with Kerensky requesting that Kornilov move forces loyal to the Provisional Government into Petrograd to counter the threat of the radical (and Soviet-controlled) Petrograd army garrison. Kornilov then marched on Petrograd intent on 'purging' the Provisional Government of revolutionary elements, possibly with the intention of establishing a military dictatorship. Kerensky countered Kornilov by arming the Bolshevik-influenced Soviets (including arming Leon Trotsky's Red Guards). Bolshevik agents infiltrated Kornilov's army and soldiers began to desert. Railway strikes hindered Kornilov's supplies and communications. The result was that Kornilov and his closest advisers were imprisoned, and the Bolsheviks permanently armed and empowered.

Imperial Brazilian Navy The Imperial Brazilian Navy (Portuguese: "Armada Nacional", commonly known as "Armada Imperial") was the navy created at the time of the independence of the Empire of Brazil from the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. It existed between 1822 and 1889 during the vigency of the constitutional monarchy. The Navy was formed almost entirely by ships, staff, organizations and doctrines proceeding from the transference of the Portuguese Royal Family in 1808. Some of its members were native-born Brazilians, who under Portugal had been forbidden to serve. Other members were Portuguese who adhered to the cause of separation and German and Irish mercenaries. Some establishments created by King João VI were used and incorporated. Under the reign of Emperor Pedro II the Navy was greatly expanded to become the fifth most powerful navy in the world and the armed force more popular and loyal to the Brazilian monarchy. The republican coup d'état in 1889, led by army men, put an end to the Imperial Navy that fell into decay until the new century.
