After repelling a first imperial invasion by the region on June 8, 1824, he died in the second attempt to take that land's control, which was more successful. During an Emperor's Dom Pedro II visit to the Pernambuco coast, thirty-five years later, Joaquim Lisboa asked him to stop by and transfer his brother Manuel's remains to the family's estate in Rio de Janeiro. Dom Pedro agreed and, sensitized by the gesture, gave him the honorary title of Baron in the later year. Differing over the name, Dom Pedro II remembered the Tamandaré village episode and its relation with Joaquim's brother memory and the place itself, which became crucial for choosing the Baron of Tamandaré as a name for the given title. This process is taken as a determinative point to explain these two historical figures' friendship. In the course of his life, Brazil passed from Portugal's colonial possession to the United Kingdom of Portugal and Algarves, then the Brazilian Empire in 1822, and to 1889's Republican period. Tamandaré took a significant part in the country's formation, being an important reference to the next generations of sailors, military men and statesmen who owe the duty to preserve Brazil. Campaigns In 1825, during the Cisplatine War - in which the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata sought to annex the Cisplatina Province, then belonging to the Empire of Brazil - Tamandaré, as lieutenant, excelled in many battles for leadership and courage. Captured with other Brazilians, at the battle of Carmen de Patagones, he snatched from the enemy the warship that took them prisoners, assuming its command at the age of 18. The young Joaquim Marques Lisboa, together with British officer William Eyre, at the head of 93 prisoners, led a daring escape. They managed to seize control of the Argentine ship Ana carrying them to Salado and returned to Montevideo despite the presence of escort ships. He participated in the Platine War, in 1851, in the battle of the Tonelero Pass. In 1864, already with the title of Baron of Tamandaré, he assumed the position of Commander in Chief of the Brazilian naval operations in the Río de la Plata. During the Paraguayan War (1864–1870), Marques Lisboa was in command of the naval forces at the beginning of the conflict, between 1865 and 1866. He established a naval blockade and organized the logistic support for the forces in operation, which
