The War of Canudos, also known as "The War of the End of the World", was one of the most tragic episodes in Brazilian social history. Led by cult leader Antônio Conselheiro, 25,000 people are supposed to have massacred in 1897 by the Brazilian Army in the arid backcountry of the state of Bahia. This horrific tragedy has at least inspired two enormous pieces of literature: Euclydes da Cunha's "Os Sertões" and Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa's "La Guerra del Fin del Mundo".
