Battle Of Juncal
The naval Battle of Juncal took place between a squadron of the newly independent United Provinces of the River Plate under command of William Brown and a squadron belonging to the Brazilian Empire, commanded by Sena Pereira. It spanned two days, from 8 to 9 February 1827, in the waters of the Río de la Plata. The two squadrons were initially of roughly equal strength, but because of superior command and control, and gunnery training, the Argentines scored a decisive victory: out of 17 Brazilian vessels, 12—including the flagship with its admiral—were captured and 3 were burnt. Not a single Argentine vessel was lost. In the aftermath of the battle, the Third Division, the arm of the Brazilian fleet tasked with controlling the Uruguay River and thus disrupting communications with the Argentine army then operating in the Cisplatina province, was completely destroyed. The result was the biggest naval victory for Argentina in the Cisplatine War. The situation before the b ...

Sena Pereira
Jacinto Roque de Sena Pereira ( 1784 – 27 June 1850) was a Portuguese-born Brazilian sailor notable for his service to the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves and later the Empire of Brazil. His naval career culminated with a period of squadron command. For nearly a decade he was in charge of a squadron on the Uruguay River, using the schooner ''Oriental'' as his flagship. He prepared for the Portuguese invasion of 1816, which resulted in the defeat of the troops led by José Gervasio Artigas and the annexation of the Banda Oriental to the Kingdom of Brazil as the Cisplatina province. He was considered a consummate planner, especially in the area of combined operations with land forces. His personality, education, and intelligence led him to be involved in many activities, such as diplomacy. Similar to many Portuguese soldiers active in the Cisplatina province, he married a woman from the region, Eugenia Gadea Paredes from the Soriano Department. During the Ci ...
