The Araguaia guerrilla was an armed movement in Brazil against its military government, active between 1967 and 1974 in the Araguaia river basin. It was founded by militants of the Communist Party of Brazil (PC do B), then the Maoist counterpart to the Brazilian Communist Party, which aimed to establish a rural stronghold from which to wage a people's war against the Brazilian military dictatorship that had been in power since the 1964 coup d'état. Its planned activities were based on the experience of the 26th of July Movement in the Cuban Revolution and of the Chinese Communist Party during the Chinese Civil War.
