What was unique about the way brazil got its independence?

  • when did it happen?

  • Answer:

    Brazil did not overthrow the Portuguese monarchy as such, instead establishing a monarchy of its own from a prince of Portugal. "King Dom João VI returned to Europe in 26 April, 1821, leaving his elder son Dom Pedro as regent to rule Brazil. The Portuguese government attempted to turn Brazil into a colony once again, thus depriving it of its achievements since 1808. The Brazilians refused to yield and Prince Pedro stood by their side declaring the country's independence from Portugal in September 7, 1822. On October 12, 1822, Pedro was acclaimed first Emperor of Brazil as Dom Pedro I and crowned on 1 December 1822."
