When the royal family fled to Brazil, Rio became the capital of the Portuguese Empire. So Rio is the only city outside of Europe to ever be a capital of an European State.

9:00 another reason not mentioned for the reduction of native population: miscegenation. The Portuguese colonizers at the time were basically single man looking to make profits in Brazil and go back. They didn't bring women. So they ended up marrying local women, which then received a Portuguese catholic name. Their kids couldn't be enslaved since they were half white. Nowadays more than half of Brazilian ancestry can be traced back to this early miscegenation.
hehe, if we look closely, the Portuguese side of South America was inhabited by black Asians hehehe, with the exception of the cannibal tribes, the Portuguese were very interested in indigenous women. I usually joke that the Spanish colonization was bloodthirsty, the English one was slave, but the Portuguese one was sensual.
hi, I'm Brazilian and just a quick note, the second emperor Dom Pedro II was a phenomenal leader and this man would make another entire video... For him, the abolition of Brazilian slavery would have ended decades before, and it was precisely his downfall , abolition caused a revolt by powerful barons who took power.
28:18 this reply was savage 💀 13:11 Princess Maria Leopoldina stayed in Rio de Janeiro as the regent of the country for a few days while D. Pedro took a trip to São Paulo. In this mean time, she signed the the independence decree at Sep. 2nd. She sent a letter to Pedro telling him about the independence. He only got the letter in September 7th, when he proclaimed the independence shouting "independence or death" by the Ipiranga river.
Leopoldina pressured Pedro to declare independence in his letter; she did not declare independence. She was undoubtedly a key player in everything, as she worked very closely with the Prime Minister and collaborated with him in the architecture of independence.
23:43 By "Indians," he means "Indios," which is the word for "natives" in Portuguese. It is a common mistake that Brazilians make, writing in English. However, this mistake was imported from Portugal. They probably manipulated the word "Hindi" to call "Indios" every tribal community. He is trying to say that the land was not "found" by the Portuguese, people were there first for countless centuries. Today, the actual word referring to people from India in Portuguese is "Indianos". While "indios" remains meaning "natives".
Yeah. We say that before the Brasil of the crown ( portugal) there was the Brasil of the cocar. The indigenous called our land Pindorama. Portuguese didn't descover anything, they invaded and killed a lot of the indigenous people that lived here.
@@carolinaorellana4834 let's not forget that the Church decided (?) that the natives had "souls," unlike black slaves who were considered "property." So the Jesuits went ahead to enslave their minds with ideological crap.
@@carolinaorellana4834 they not only invaded and killed a lot of the indigenous people that lived there but destroyed their native history culture religion and convert everyone into Christianity
But the land was indeed found by Portugal? The old world (Europe, north Africa, middle east, china, India, east Asia) didn't knew about the Americas? And the Americas never produced a powerful civilization/kingdom that came into Contact with the old world so yes those land were found/discovered because the old word didn't knew about it and was shocked upon its discovery
@@ReldrikGeo Discounting Alaska, yes, thought not by much aaand it really means nothing as what make a country trully great is its institutions and its people and sadly Brazil's insitutions are corrupt AF and people either don't give AF, are powerless, or support and want to be power of it.

I'm not talking about politics, economics or wathever, just pointing out a piece of information =)
The guy who commented "The indians discovered Brazil" is relating to the native people original from Brazil region, and not indians (from India). You see, native people in portuguese are called "índios". Google translate at it's finnest lol
You were right when you said the Empress declared Brazils independence, Empress Leopoldina, from Austria who was married to Pedro the I. In September 1822, Pedro was taking a trip to São Paulo, around 400km away from the capital Rio, when Leopoldina got news from Portugal saying that Portugal would force Brazil to become a colony as it was before the royal Portuguese family came to Brazil fleeing from Napoleon in 1808, Leopoldina got so mad with that that she herlself signed the document that freed Brazil, and sent letters to Pedro, so when he was in SP city, on September 7th, he got these news from Leopoldina and shouted the famous sentence: Independence or death. And that's why everyone says Pedro declared Brazils independence.
Desculpe, mas voce esta equivocado, Leopoldina não declarou a Independência do Brasil, ate porque ela nem tinha esse poder, a carta que ela assinou é aconselhando D. Pedro a decidir o que fazer, que haviam chegado noticia de Portugal que as Cortes Portuguesa, que não é D. João VI, Portugal era governado pelas cortes portuguesas, decidiram retornar o Brasil como simples colonia e não reino unido de Portugal, e exigiram a volta do principe regente pra Portugal, essa historia que foi Leopoldina que assinou a independência é historia de empoderamento feminino e ficção de novela da Globo, não existe tal documento, aconselho para entender melhor procurar o canal do Paulo Rezzuti um dos maiores historiadores do Brasil e procurar no canal os videos a respeito da Leopoldina e sobre a independecia do Brasil
No meu ponto de vista, ela fez algo que mesmo simbolicamente já podemos dizer que a partir dali daquele ponto, o Brasil já estava Independente, o processo de Independência estava em um estágio que não iria poder mais retroceder.
As a Brazilian the original video was cool, but out of 10 minutes he spent like 7 talking about colonial history, i.e. Europe, and only a few actually talking about the country 🤡 99% of "History of Brazil" videos on TH-cam are like this btw.
Yeah that's unfortunate, I want to know more about the era before. I know of a channel that talks about the Americas before the Europeans came, I'll see if they have anything on the people in the Brazilian area
@@ReldrikGeo Just an addendum, pesuise Brasil the last crusade in Portuguese and there you will see the true history of Brazil and the parallel and epic Brasil channel
But, actually, most of what made the identity of Brazil comes from the colonial Era. Before the arrival of the portuguese, there was no Brazil. There where many nomad tribes that would fight against each other, sometimes as part of their belief system. One of the worst mistakes that are made around Brazilian history is considering only the republican part(it's worst era until now). If you really want to know the true history of Brazil, you basically need to know the history of Catholicism in Brazil, more specifically, the history of the franciscans and, mainly, the jesuits in Brazil. They were the guys who really MADE Brazil, recording many of the early tribes' culture and early important events.

@@ReldrikGeo To grasp the size of Brazil, the continental United States is roughly the size of the Amazon jungle (or what used to be considered the jungle some 55 years ago when I was in school). What makes the USA a larger country is Alaska, which itself is enormous; roughly the size of middle America from its northern borders to Canada to its southern borders with the Gulf of Mexico.
I still can't believe Spain and Portugueses divide entire planet into to two half even before they left their homeland, I mean how arrogant to even think about it.
the video doesn´t touch very deeply in the Portuguese Court move to Rio. Brazil became United Kingdom with Portugal. And Rio became the capital of the whole Portuguese Empire. This is unprecedent in history in the relation of European colonies with the metropolis. Not only that, but the King didn´t even want to return to Portugal. Napoleon had long been defeated and the Royal Family was still in Brazil lol He was forced to return by Republicans in Portugal who wanted him to sign a Constitutional Monarchy limiting his powers or face a Republican Revolution in Portugal. Also, another result of this was that Dom Pedro I daughter, BORN IN BRAZIL, and since she was still in Brazil by the time of independence, a Brazilian by nationality, became QUEEN OF PORTUGAL. While her younger brother was Emperor of Brazil.
Esse cara que esta reagindo aos vídeos não gostou do que aconteceu no brasil pelos comentário dele a inveja que esses cara tem da história do Brasil é incrível pela expressão do rosto dele da pra ver que tem da nossa história , a chegada da família real portuguesa no brasil foi um fato inédito na história nunca um monarca europeu tinha trasladado para da suas colônias a história do nosso Brasil é incrível
@@vagnerneves9405 brasileiro nunca tem argumento bom. Tudo interpreta como sendo inveja. É difícil de acreditar que vc realmente acha que ele ficou com inveja por um motivo tolo como esse.
As a Brazilian, I say that our culture was greatly shaped by slavery and European immigrants, who mixed together. Slavery was so strong that Brazil was the country that received the most slaves in the history of human trafficking (almost 5 million as far as I remember). The Brazilian empire was the country's peak as a superpower, reaching the fourth GDP in the world, as the second emperor who took over (Dom Pedro II) was an excellent scholar, who spoke more than 12 languages and was trained in 8 areas, gaining respect from Nietzsche and the anti-slavery states of the USA, as Dom Pedro II was an abolitionist. After the coup against the republic (a coup against the will of the people, including). Brazil went through 6 republican periods or eras full of ups and downs, the sixth republic being the time between 1988 and the present day. If you want a tip about studying Brazil, study the period between 1790 - 1889 approximately Because we don't have much connection with the previous indigenous culture, except the Guarani cultures (which are invaders from another tribe on the Brazilian coast) Edit: fun fact: Uruguay was once a Brazilian state called Cisplatina at the time of the empire, but it gained independence with the help of Argentina
Brazil never became a powerful colony like the USA, which in 1860, when Brazil would fight the bloodiest war in South America, the United States fought the biggest war in the Americas. The detail of the amount of slaves brought is closely linked to the fact that the country failed to contain slavery itself, the country is approximately 100 years older than the United States, and was one of the last to abolish the slave trade and was the last to abolish slavery. D. Pedro II was anything but abolitionist, with slavery ending only at the end of his reign and his life, at the hands of the senators of the time, sanctioned by Princess Isabel, who assumed regency positions in the country since 1871 as the sole heir of D. Pedro II, who unfortunately suffered from the ills of the prolonged insanity of European nobility in their quest to maintain power within the dominant families. D. Pedro II had many qualities, but the idea of being an abolitionist is a myth, the Emperor's will was always the law, and the law was his will, slavery was the mesjatade's choice.
NOTE: Empire Brazil was indeed the most powerful country in America, but even though it lost its colony status it never surpassed the United States demographically or technological so it is not logical to imagine that a country with a population that was barely half that of the United States had trafficked more slaves, when the truth is that it only maintained this trade for longer. We can see evidence of this today, according to the United States, 12.4% of the country is made up of black people, which is reflected in 41.3 million African Americans, while in Brazil, according to IBGE, there are 10.1% of black people, which is worth 21.7 million Afro Brazilians, which would never correspond to the country that enslaved the most. And even the USA, with more Afro-Americans ended slavery 30 years ahead of Brazil, Ceará was the first Brazilian state to definitively abolish slavery in the country, in 1884, while in the USA the first northern states already declared the end of the practice still at the end of the 18th century, more than 100 earlier.
@@juliocesarfeitosa8438 o brasil não era uma monarquia absolutista ela era uma monarquia parlamentar como o reino unido mesmo que o emperador tivesse o poder moderador ele não podia criar uma lei sem a maioria do senado e o motivo da monarquia acabar foi basicamente por causa do fim da escravidão por que os donos de terras perderiam os seus escravos assim eles apoiaram os militares que a maioria deles estavam la achando que era para removem o primeiro ministro
Hmm, video is kinda rushed but the main points I think was left out are: contrary to spanish americas, the portuguese were *mostly* traders, monopolistic but still traders, so there were more assimilation than conflicts with the natives. Conflict only truly rose when "Emboabas" (tupi: foreigners) adventurers came from Europe and fought over trade/resources with the *natives* (which included the portuguese settlers and their offspring with the amerindians). That said, they did try to enslave amerindians but failed, then blamed it on account of them being "very lazy" (lol). After independence, D. Pedro I, and specially his son D. Pedro II and his granddaughter Princess Isabel all HATED slavery, calling it the "national shame", but they saw how civil war ravaged the US, so they opted to end slavery gradually, granting more and more rights to slaves. It wasn't enough for the elite, and the sugar and coffee baron oligarchy, together with the traitorous and cowardly military, gave a coup d'etat and forced Emperor D. Pedro II to resign. He was the best leader this country ever produced (he would walk among the people, without bodyguards, and did so much for disabled people that a japanese anime, Time Travel Shoujo, paid homage to him and Graham Bell: th-cam.com/video/VPXhPYd9CMw/w-d-xo.html) Another important thing is that during this period huge immigration waves came, and these immigrants are mostly responsible for Brazil's development, as they came as exploited workforce but turned it over and became proeminent developers. The italians farmers and industralists, japanese farmers, the confederate americans who were responsible for introducing farming techniques and later the textile industry (fun fact: they still celebrate the "Confederate Fest" here, together with black people), syrians and lebanese, like my ancestors, who boosted trade in the big cities. After that the country only went downhill with the same oligarchy still in power, until people demanded the military to do something and they yet again betrayed the people by not returning power after the civil intervention in 1964. They installed a dictatorship that kept country safe, with less censorship than we have today, but an economy as incompetent and socialist as Soviet Union's, which led to the hyperinflation that forced them to resign in 1985. After that, the socialist psychopaths that tried to create a communist dictatorship like Cuba during military period took over, one of them fixed the hyperinflation problem with austerity, won the people's heart and paved the way for his more stalinist, populist allies, which ruled the country for the last 2 decades with a brief 1-term interruption in 2019. Now they're back and sinking economy again with massive debt, corruption, censorship and we're heading to become the next Venezuela, although it MIGHT change as the oligarchy seems to be losing too much money with the narco-socialist faction, so they might try to ditch them.
Many have tried to claim territories here in Brazil, for example: the French, the English, the Dutch… There are many fascinating stories, such as the War of the Triple Alliance and the fact that Uruguay was once part of Brazil. There’s a lot of interesting histories around here. Wish you the best and congratulations on your video!
yeah, it was probably a mistake from google translator cuz we use "índios" to refere natives and is a word close to "indians" (well cuz in first place Pedro Alvares Cabral thought he really got in India so he called them "índios")
23:30 "the indians discovered Brazil" what they mean is the NATIVE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE discovered Brazil. This comment was probably made by a Brazilian. We say this because they were in Brazil first. Índios is the word people still use in Brazil to refer to native indigenous people, because this is the word the Portugueses used, they thought they arrived in Índia. He probaly thinks "indians" means índios in english. Please, react to a video about Dom Pedro II, the child Imperor. He is probably the most important historical figure in the history of Brazil. He was a great Imperor. there is a very good video made about him by the channel Kings and Things.
Você está falando daquele que herdou o Brasil? Aquele que, por "ciúminho" ajudou a quebrar o maior empreendedor do Brasil, João Evangelista( Barão de Mauá)?
Thank you for reacting to our story, my friend. But this video is a summary, cutting out some important moments of our history. Our history is truly beautiful and full of glory in the past. If you would like to know more about Brazil in a deeper way, please react to this documentary: "The Cross and the Sword - Brazil, the Last Crusade". There are 5 episodes of 1 hour each. But it tells our story from the beginning of what Brazilians are today. We are descendants of the Knights Templar, and of the discoverers of the New World. But history just doesn't talk about that. A hug
I recommend you to read Emperor Citizen by Roderick J. Barman. I have a physical copy in Portuguese, and it is fantastic how the author don't let slip any detail of that period of Brazilian history!
You should look for a more detailed video, seriously, since you got so interested in it. This is barely a footnote, but a good introduction. It's an interesting story about how the republican slaveowners overthrew the scholar emperor.
23:41 (give or take) They meant "indigenous" and not " Indians". In Portuguese is more or less the same word for both so I can see why the translation went that way xD
I pronounce it knowledge-ya 1:20 bigger than Mainland USA. The map has several mistakes, such as the course of the São Francisco river, as well as showing Uruguay as not under Brazil during Pedro I's rule, or showing Rio as the capital in the 1960s (it was Brasília already). Suibhne's video may be better than this one (not sure, I don't really remember which one was better). EDIT: Geo History has a leftist bias (because Europe), but is the most accurate summary overall. Indians = indigenous peoples i.e. Amerindians/Natives/First Nations. In Brazil we call them 'índios' whereas people from India are 'indianos'.
I believe that's it's important to note that external factors did had weight in the independence of Brazil, but several rebellious groups are known to had fought against the Portuguese crown, in attempts to free Brazil. In Bahia, the state I'm from, the 2nd of July is a important date, cause we know that the rebellious groups fighting against the Portuguese navies were victorious in that date, marking a important milestone in the war against Portugal We have a saying in Brazil "To Englishman to see", meaning that several laws against slavery were approved because of the pressure England was putting the in crown to abolish slavery here. So not everything was from the goodness of their hearts...
1 Brazil is bigger then mainland usa 2 Brazil was created by Portugal, even the name name brazil came from a Portuguese word that meant wood. Before Portugal there was NOTHING going on the area of south America/"brazil" , so Portugal is the first political state and the first entity to exist there And it brought many things to the new place. Brazil got almost everything from Portugal : language, culture, cuisine, art, literature, architecture, politics, ruling system, armed forces, Calvary, trade, technology, engineering etc.... 4 india was "prevalent" pretty much onky when it came to trade of species, i mean other states like ottoman empire or persia also became prevalent when they controlled the specie trade. 5 other countries couldn't get a hold on brazil like Portugal because spainand Portugal had the biggest and most powerful ships /navy and had the latest technology during tue 1400s - 15000s - 1600s and even during 1700s (but uk and france And russia all became good at that shipbuilding sector as well) 5 brazil doesn't owe its independence to france it does owe it to Portuguese family as its literally said in the video.
something we learn here in BR is that we had dutch from netherlands colonizing Pernambuco earlier than Portuguese itself. I dont really know if this is a myth. Anyway, what portugal has stolen from Brazil is 1M times more than what they offered.
All these events that occurred here in Brazil are true and to this day we Brazilians feel the side effects. My surname, for example, came from a master of a farm in the region of the state of Minas Gerais (here in Brazil, the enslaved received the surname of his slave master), I can even say that Brazil was the last country on the American continent to abolish slavery because my grandfather told me stories that his grandfather was born a slave and worked until adulthood in that situation.
If you study Chinese or Indian history, get ready, you will always see China and India everywhere, it is unbelievable how they are present in everything since the most remote antiquity.
Bye Man I loved you I guess you got bored From India, have a good time Just Kidding Love you man ,Brazil is amazing country waiting for Russia and Saudi next
Really nice video, I would have liked if they mentioned how for a time it was called “Kingdom of Brasil and Portugal” bein Rio its capital. Or much more can be told about Pedro II, one of the best rulers (not just best emperor) to ever be. Most “great rulers” of the pasts are considered so for their military gains in great part. Not Pedro II (actually hes downfall is partially due to not caring about his army and with its lack of influence in it, other politicians used the military to take power). He seems the be a great man, the one who did not want to be a king, and was so just for its country.
Brazil was not a typical colonial regime but an integral part of the Kingdom of Portugal. If you were born in Brazil, you were considered a Portuguese from "overseas" (além-mar). It's astonishing how widespread this misconception is. In historiography, it is crucial to understand that starting in 1815, with the elevation of Brazil to the status of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves, Brazil ceased to be a colony in the classical sense. This change was formalized by King John VI, and from that point, Brazilians had the same political status as the Portuguese in the metropole. Additionally, it's important to note that the monarchical power in Portugal was quite different from the absolutist monarchy of England. The Portuguese system included regional elections, dukes, and counts, as well as local armies, which provided citizens with significantly more freedom than is seen in any modern society today. Moreover, the notion that natural resources were exploited solely to enrich Portugal is flawed. If Brazil was an integral part of Portugal, the wealth generated here also stayed here. This is evident in the historically and architecturally rich cities of Brazil, which have been well-preserved and demonstrate the significant wealth that remained in the country. To further illustrate the Portuguese spirit and intentions in coming to Brazil, we can reference Luís de Camões, who highlighted the mission to convert souls to God. This stands in contrast to the anthropophagy practiced by some indigenous tribes in Brazil. Instead of exterminating these tribes, the Portuguese, particularly the priests, sought to integrate them into society. They taught agricultural techniques, arts, writing, and mathematics to the tribes willing to assimilate. By the early Brazilian kingdom period, many tribes were fully integrated into society. In fact, in São Paulo, the most spoken language was not Portuguese but Tupi. Therefore, the thesis that Brazil was merely a colony of exploitation is simplistic and overlooks important nuances of our history. During the colonial period, there was certainly the exploitation of natural resources, but the relationship between Portugal and Brazil was more complex and multifaceted than the simple classification of an exploitation colony suggests. Additional Information: In Brazil, slavery emerged as a product of its time and not as a racist bias stemming from the Protestant spirit prevalent in Northern Europe. As noted by authors of the time, such as Gilberto Freyre in "Casa-Grande & Senzala," slavery in Brazil was primarily driven by economic convenience rather than racial considerations. At the end of slavery with Princess Isabel's signing of the Lei Áurea in 1888, pro-slavery republicans, primarily military figures, seized power from the monarchy, leading to the establishment of the republic. Thus, those with racist ideologies and vested interests in maintaining slavery took power after the enactment of the Lei Áurea. For further evidence, one can refer to Arlindo Veiga dos Santos, a key figure who pioneered the first Black movement in Brazil advocating for traditional monarchy. He highlighted the issues of the republic, especially elevating concerns over the republic's removal of politically significant Black individuals from the Imperial power structure.
the route the video traces of Cabral to India is misleading. It seems he made a huge mistake. Although there are many indications Cabral's fleet KNEW of Brazil and only found land on purpose to LEGALLY (according to Tordesillas) claim it, even if they didn´t , it wouldn´t be so of course. BECAUSE OF THE TURN OF THE SEA... the trade winds and currents... that circulate counter clockwise in the southern Atlantic. You cant sail directly south along Africa. The currents and winds are against you. The Portuguese discovered that to travel around Africa, south of the equator you must travel WEST (towards Brazil), then travel south along the Brazilian coast to turn east again only around latitude 30S.
The separation of Brazil from Portugal by Dom Pedro I was detrimental to both sides. Prior to the separation, Brazilian citizens enjoyed the freedom to travel to Europe. However, after the split, they were confined to the American continent, resulting in permanent separation of families due to bureaucratic issues rather than a true national affiliation. Brazil was considered a state with a capital "S," as many put it, rather than a fully independent country. In essence, we Brazilians still carry a Portuguese heritage and identity. Dom Pedro I's decision to declare independence was hasty and lacked foresight. Economically, Brazil and Portugal were closely intertwined, and the abrupt separation led to significant economic disruption and loss for both nations. Moreover, politically, the move strained relations between the two countries, impacting diplomatic ties and causing lasting geopolitical implications. Dom Pedro I's decision to separate Brazil from Portugal thus stands as a critical error, driven more by immediate political ambitions than a thorough consideration of the long-term consequences for both Brazilian and Portuguese societies.
Yes France help us a lot, even without intention. And also everthing in Brazil is France Based, like our schools, metric system, drive system, democracy model and everthing.
the thing about the "slave trade" A lot of the slave went to brazil and other latin american and carribean countries, in fact by that time anyway the united states outlawed the transporting of slaves from africa. Most of the black people at that time in latin america and carribean they wore from africa as in they wore born in africa, in the united states my ancestors wore like 20th generation removed from any thing african by the late 1800s.
The history of Brazil is much more than this summary video! The history of slavery was a great contract between Portugal, Brazil as a colony and the Congo empire, in Africa! Portugal distributed weapons and gunpowder and other technology to the Emperor of Congo, and he delivered the slave labor that he himself conquered from weaker tribal peoples! That's right, black people enslaving black people!
Brazil is like Halo 2 on legendary, awesome and yet infuriating. I genuinely think its impossible for westeners (and I say this because I dont think Brazil is a true western country) to grasp how ridiculously complex our geopolitics and history is.
@@rafaplaysz1389 Because latin america is largely its own thing, has strong western influence, but I dont think its a true western culture except for Argentina and maybe Brazil and Mexico. Latin america is very isolated from the world when you think about it, every contry has largely friendly relations with everyone, yet they are not realy close to no one, always playing both sides and trying to develop themselves. Mostly all latin american countries still face structural issues from colonialism, much like Africa, but not as bad...
Another question the video doesn´t mention is that Brazil's independence at the hands of Dom Pedro was agreed by his father, the King of Portugal. The King TOLD PEDRO to make Brazil independent. As the Portuguese burgeoise and nobles wanted Brazil to be reduced to colonial status again and have monopoly of trade as in the centuries before, King Dom João KNEW that move would result in a war of independence, just like had happened in the US and all Spanish colonies. And Portugal would LOSE Brazil and it would become a Republic. The master touch was having PORTUGAL losing Brazil... but the Bragança Royal Family to keep it. Notice that by the time of independence, Dom João VI had already signed the new Constitutional Monarchy and had his powers severely reduced in favor of the Parliament. So the war of independence which was much more lightweight than in most other colonies in the Americas, was much more something from the Portuguese Parliament than from Dom João VI.
this is how Brazil become a colony and how Portugal royalty reacted ,not how it become a country. There was so much to become a country and none is in the video. And the end of slavery was made by the people and the slaves, not monarchy ,they had no choice when it get power up by the kilombas to set people free.
Brazilian territory might have been broken into smaller countries, had we been colonized by Spain. Nobody knows how it would have turned out for these smaller countries.
Vídeo muito bom. Mas ficaram algumas coisas q eu considero importantes para entender um pouquinho mais a história do Brasil. 1 - Portugal já sabia da existência das Américas, desde que Vasco da Gama já havia relatado a existência de terras, por isso o tratado de Tordesilhas foi alterado para chegar até o Brasil 2 - Portugal era amiguinho da Inglaterra, por isso a corte portuguesa fugiu de Napoleao 3 - teve um período que o rei da Espanha TB era o rei de Portugal, não unificou os territórios, mas isso aboliu o tratado de Tordesilhas, por isso as terras do Brasil se espandiram tanto para o oeste 4 - a independência do Brasil foi proclamada pela Maria Leopoldina, esposa de Don Pedro I, ele apenas oficializou 5 - 80% dos negros já eram livres quando teve a libertação dos escravos no Brasil. Mas esses 20% q faltavam eram justamente os que trabalhavam nas grandes fazendas. E eram os grandes fazendeiros que estavam mantendo a monarquia no poder, pois já existiam muitos movimentos a favor da república 6 - a velha república foi uma piada, os votos eram públicos, e o presidente sempre alternava entre São Paulo e Minas Gerais 7 - a Ditadura Militar brasileira foi diferente das outras ditaduras, pois no Brasil a Ditadura era feita por um presidente eleito pelos militares q mudava periodicamente, mas de resto era igual qualquer ditadura 8 - metade dos presidentes do Brasil sofreram impeachment kkkkkkkkkkk
KKKkkkkkk os republicanos eram os donos das fazendas, a maioria das revoltas populares aconteceram depois dos republicanos tomarem o poder. Literalmente tiraram a princesa Isabel do poder por causa da Lei Áurea.
República Velha é podridão pura mesmo, tudo de ruim do Brasil vem disso, dos presidentes pós-Getúlio Vargas e da Ditadura Militar. Não tirando a culpa de outros períodos.
Hey man! This is the official story. In fact, the trade of enslaved people became the main economic force in Brazil, and the various lords and masters who ruled Brazil - yes, because it wasn’t even a united nation - out of fear of England's pressure to end slavery and create a consumer market for English products, joined forces with the future emperor, almost forcing him to declare independence. Independence that was actually paid as compensation to Portugal. This independence allowed slavery to last another century, and even today, it excludes the descendants of the enslaved. Despite making up over 50% of the population, they remain the poorest, least educated, and most marginalized.
Nada aver esse vídeo que ele reagiu, não mostrou o segundo reinado que foi a época que o Brasil cresceu mais e não falou da guerra do Paraguai, que foi a maior guerra da América Latina
wow, that initial map of Brazil is REALLY BAD. Specially at the southernmost state. When the video started I thought that was supposed to be maybe an 18th century map...
When the royal family fled to Brazil, Rio became the capital of the Portuguese Empire. So Rio is the only city outside of Europe to ever be a capital of an European State.
yep. Its important to say there was a few years between the arrival of the portuguese royal familiy and the actual change of title for the colony.

9:00 another reason not mentioned for the reduction of native population: miscegenation. The Portuguese colonizers at the time were basically single man looking to make profits in Brazil and go back. They didn't bring women. So they ended up marrying local women, which then received a Portuguese catholic name. Their kids couldn't be enslaved since they were half white. Nowadays more than half of Brazilian ancestry can be traced back to this early miscegenation.
hehe, if we look closely, the Portuguese side of South America was inhabited by black Asians hehehe, with the exception of the cannibal tribes, the Portuguese were very interested in indigenous women.
I usually joke that the Spanish colonization was bloodthirsty, the English one was slave, but the Portuguese one was sensual.
hi, I'm Brazilian and just a quick note, the second emperor Dom Pedro II was a phenomenal leader and this man would make another entire video... For him, the abolition of Brazilian slavery would have ended decades before, and it was precisely his downfall , abolition caused a revolt by powerful barons who took power.
28:18 this reply was savage 💀
13:11 Princess Maria Leopoldina stayed in Rio de Janeiro as the regent of the country for a few days while D. Pedro took a trip to São Paulo. In this mean time, she signed the the independence decree at Sep. 2nd. She sent a letter to Pedro telling him about the independence. He only got the letter in September 7th, when he proclaimed the independence shouting "independence or death" by the Ipiranga river.
Thnx "3
A regent can’t declare independence
Leopoldina pressured Pedro to declare independence in his letter; she did not declare independence. She was undoubtedly a key player in everything, as she worked very closely with the Prime Minister and collaborated with him in the architecture of independence.
23:43 By "Indians," he means "Indios," which is the word for "natives" in Portuguese. It is a common mistake that Brazilians make, writing in English. However, this mistake was imported from Portugal. They probably manipulated the word "Hindi" to call "Indios" every tribal community. He is trying to say that the land was not "found" by the Portuguese, people were there first for countless centuries. Today, the actual word referring to people from India in Portuguese is "Indianos". While "indios" remains meaning "natives".
Obviously, any shit that Brazilians do is under the influence of Portugal!!! the joke becomes more and more true
Yeah. We say that before the Brasil of the crown ( portugal) there was the Brasil of the cocar. The indigenous called our land Pindorama. Portuguese didn't descover anything, they invaded and killed a lot of the indigenous people that lived here.
@@carolinaorellana4834 let's not forget that the Church decided (?) that the natives had "souls," unlike black slaves who were considered "property." So the Jesuits went ahead to enslave their minds with ideological crap.
@@carolinaorellana4834 they not only invaded and killed a lot of the indigenous people that lived there but destroyed their native history culture religion and convert everyone into Christianity
But the land was indeed found by Portugal?
The old world (Europe, north Africa, middle east, china, India, east Asia) didn't knew about the Americas?
And the Americas never produced a powerful civilization/kingdom that came into Contact with the old world so yes those land were found/discovered because the old word didn't knew about it and was shocked upon its discovery

You were right when you said the Empress declared Brazils independence, Empress Leopoldina, from Austria who was married to Pedro the I. In September 1822, Pedro was taking a trip to São Paulo, around 400km away from the capital Rio, when Leopoldina got news from Portugal saying that Portugal would force Brazil to become a colony as it was before the royal Portuguese family came to Brazil fleeing from Napoleon in 1808, Leopoldina got so mad with that that she herlself signed the document that freed Brazil, and sent letters to Pedro, so when he was in SP city, on September 7th, he got these news from Leopoldina and shouted the famous sentence: Independence or death. And that's why everyone says Pedro declared Brazils independence.
A razão ela mandou o documento pra ele foi porque ele teve o poder
Desculpe, mas voce esta equivocado, Leopoldina não declarou a Independência do Brasil, ate porque ela nem tinha esse poder, a carta que ela assinou é aconselhando D. Pedro a decidir o que fazer, que haviam chegado noticia de Portugal que as Cortes Portuguesa, que não é D. João VI, Portugal era governado pelas cortes portuguesas, decidiram retornar o Brasil como simples colonia e não reino unido de Portugal, e exigiram a volta do principe regente pra Portugal, essa historia que foi Leopoldina que assinou a independência é historia de empoderamento feminino e ficção de novela da Globo, não existe tal documento, aconselho para entender melhor procurar o canal do Paulo Rezzuti um dos maiores historiadores do Brasil e procurar no canal os videos a respeito da Leopoldina e sobre a independecia do Brasil
No meu ponto de vista, ela fez algo que mesmo simbolicamente já podemos dizer que a partir dali daquele ponto, o Brasil já estava Independente, o processo de Independência estava em um estágio que não iria poder mais retroceder.
As a Brazilian the original video was cool, but out of 10 minutes he spent like 7 talking about colonial history, i.e. Europe, and only a few actually talking about the country 🤡
99% of "History of Brazil" videos on TH-cam are like this btw.
Yeah that's unfortunate, I want to know more about the era before. I know of a channel that talks about the Americas before the Europeans came, I'll see if they have anything on the people in the Brazilian area
@@ReldrikGeo Just an addendum, pesuise Brasil the last crusade in Portuguese and there you will see the true history of Brazil and the parallel and epic Brasil channel
But, actually, most of what made the identity of Brazil comes from the colonial Era. Before the arrival of the portuguese, there was no Brazil. There where many nomad tribes that would fight against each other, sometimes as part of their belief system. One of the worst mistakes that are made around Brazilian history is considering only the republican part(it's worst era until now).
If you really want to know the true history of Brazil, you basically need to know the history of Catholicism in Brazil, more specifically, the history of the franciscans and, mainly, the jesuits in Brazil. They were the guys who really MADE Brazil, recording many of the early tribes' culture and early important events.

@@ReldrikGeo To grasp the size of Brazil, the continental United States is roughly the size of the Amazon jungle (or what used to be considered the jungle some 55 years ago when I was in school). What makes the USA a larger country is Alaska, which itself is enormous; roughly the size of middle America from its northern borders to Canada to its southern borders with the Gulf of Mexico.
I still can't believe Spain and Portugueses divide entire planet into to two half even before they left their homeland, I mean how arrogant to even think about it.

It was NOT before they left their homeland.

Yep. Early America's tribes were fighting each other over here. European people were the knes trying to expand.
the video doesn´t touch very deeply in the Portuguese Court move to Rio.
Brazil became United Kingdom with Portugal. And Rio became the capital of the whole Portuguese Empire. This is unprecedent in history in the relation of European colonies with the metropolis.
Not only that, but the King didn´t even want to return to Portugal. Napoleon had long been defeated and the Royal Family was still in Brazil lol
He was forced to return by Republicans in Portugal who wanted him to sign a Constitutional Monarchy limiting his powers or face a Republican Revolution in Portugal.
Also, another result of this was that Dom Pedro I daughter, BORN IN BRAZIL, and since she was still in Brazil by the time of independence, a Brazilian by nationality, became QUEEN OF PORTUGAL. While her younger brother was Emperor of Brazil.

Just an update about the beginning: last census from 2022 Brazil had a population of a little bit over 220 million.
Ah thank you
As a Brazilian, I say that our culture was greatly shaped by slavery and European immigrants, who mixed together. Slavery was so strong that Brazil was the country that received the most slaves in the history of human trafficking (almost 5 million as far as I remember). The Brazilian empire was the country's peak as a superpower, reaching the fourth GDP in the world, as the second emperor who took over (Dom Pedro II) was an excellent scholar, who spoke more than 12 languages and was trained in 8 areas, gaining respect from Nietzsche and the anti-slavery states of the USA, as Dom Pedro II was an abolitionist. After the coup against the republic (a coup against the will of the people, including). Brazil went through 6 republican periods or eras full of ups and downs, the sixth republic being the time between 1988 and the present day. If you want a tip about studying Brazil, study the period between 1790 - 1889 approximately Because we don't have much connection with the previous indigenous culture, except the Guarani cultures (which are invaders from another tribe on the Brazilian coast)
Edit: fun fact: Uruguay was once a Brazilian state called Cisplatina at the time of the empire, but it gained independence with the help of Argentina
Brazil never became a powerful colony like the USA, which in 1860, when Brazil would fight the bloodiest war in South America, the United States fought the biggest war in the Americas.
The detail of the amount of slaves brought is closely linked to the fact that the country failed to contain slavery itself, the country is approximately 100 years older than the United States, and was one of the last to abolish the slave trade and was the last to abolish slavery.
D. Pedro II was anything but abolitionist, with slavery ending only at the end of his reign and his life, at the hands of the senators of the time, sanctioned by Princess Isabel, who assumed regency positions in the country since 1871 as the sole heir of D. Pedro II, who unfortunately suffered from the ills of the prolonged insanity of European nobility in their quest to maintain power within the dominant families.
D. Pedro II had many qualities, but the idea of being an abolitionist is a myth, the Emperor's will was always the law, and the law was his will, slavery was the mesjatade's choice.
NOTE: Empire Brazil was indeed the most powerful country in America, but even though it lost its colony status it never surpassed the United States demographically or technological so it is not logical to imagine that a country with a population that was barely half that of the United States had trafficked more slaves, when the truth is that it only maintained this trade for longer.
We can see evidence of this today, according to the United States, 12.4% of the country is made up of black people, which is reflected in 41.3 million African Americans, while in Brazil, according to IBGE, there are 10.1% of black people, which is worth 21.7 million Afro Brazilians, which would never correspond to the country that enslaved the most.
And even the USA, with more Afro-Americans ended slavery 30 years ahead of Brazil, Ceará was the first Brazilian state to definitively abolish slavery in the country, in 1884, while in the USA the first northern states already declared the end of the practice still at the end of the 18th century, more than 100 earlier.
Muito bem colocado, Gabriel
@@juliocesarfeitosa8438 o brasil não era uma monarquia absolutista ela era uma monarquia parlamentar como o reino unido mesmo que o emperador tivesse o poder moderador ele não podia criar uma lei sem a maioria do senado e o motivo da monarquia acabar foi basicamente por causa do fim da escravidão por que os donos de terras perderiam os seus escravos assim eles apoiaram os militares que a maioria deles estavam la achando que era para removem o primeiro ministro
Hmm, video is kinda rushed but the main points I think was left out are: contrary to spanish americas, the portuguese were *mostly* traders, monopolistic but still traders, so there were more assimilation than conflicts with the natives. Conflict only truly rose when "Emboabas" (tupi: foreigners) adventurers came from Europe and fought over trade/resources with the *natives* (which included the portuguese settlers and their offspring with the amerindians). That said, they did try to enslave amerindians but failed, then blamed it on account of them being "very lazy" (lol).
After independence, D. Pedro I, and specially his son D. Pedro II and his granddaughter Princess Isabel all HATED slavery, calling it the "national shame", but they saw how civil war ravaged the US, so they opted to end slavery gradually, granting more and more rights to slaves. It wasn't enough for the elite, and the sugar and coffee baron oligarchy, together with the traitorous and cowardly military, gave a coup d'etat and forced Emperor D. Pedro II to resign. He was the best leader this country ever produced (he would walk among the people, without bodyguards, and did so much for disabled people that a japanese anime, Time Travel Shoujo, paid homage to him and Graham Bell: th-cam.com/video/VPXhPYd9CMw/w-d-xo.html)
Another important thing is that during this period huge immigration waves came, and these immigrants are mostly responsible for Brazil's development, as they came as exploited workforce but turned it over and became proeminent developers. The italians farmers and industralists, japanese farmers, the confederate americans who were responsible for introducing farming techniques and later the textile industry (fun fact: they still celebrate the "Confederate Fest" here, together with black people), syrians and lebanese, like my ancestors, who boosted trade in the big cities.
After that the country only went downhill with the same oligarchy still in power, until people demanded the military to do something and they yet again betrayed the people by not returning power after the civil intervention in 1964. They installed a dictatorship that kept country safe, with less censorship than we have today, but an economy as incompetent and socialist as Soviet Union's, which led to the hyperinflation that forced them to resign in 1985. After that, the socialist psychopaths that tried to create a communist dictatorship like Cuba during military period took over, one of them fixed the hyperinflation problem with austerity, won the people's heart and paved the way for his more stalinist, populist allies, which ruled the country for the last 2 decades with a brief 1-term interruption in 2019. Now they're back and sinking economy again with massive debt, corruption, censorship and we're heading to become the next Venezuela, although it MIGHT change as the oligarchy seems to be losing too much money with the narco-socialist faction, so they might try to ditch them.
what the hell, are u a machine love u energy and dedication 🤩🤩
Thank you lol
Many have tried to claim territories here in Brazil, for example: the French, the English, the Dutch… There are many fascinating stories, such as the War of the Triple Alliance and the fact that Uruguay was once part of Brazil. There’s a lot of interesting histories around here. Wish you the best and congratulations on your video!
23:48 I think he probably meant the natives of south America
yeah, it was probably a mistake from google translator cuz we use "índios" to refere natives and is a word close to "indians" (well cuz in first place Pedro Alvares Cabral thought he really got in India so he called them "índios")
Much love from Porto Alegre, southtern Brazil
23:30 "the indians discovered Brazil" what they mean is the NATIVE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE discovered Brazil. This comment was probably made by a Brazilian. We say this because they were in Brazil first. Índios is the word people still use in Brazil to refer to native indigenous people, because this is the word the Portugueses used, they thought they arrived in Índia. He probaly thinks "indians" means índios in english. Please, react to a video about Dom Pedro II, the child Imperor. He is probably the most important historical figure in the history of Brazil. He was a great Imperor. there is a very good video made about him by the channel Kings and Things.

But history just doesn't talk about that.

I recommend you to read Emperor Citizen by Roderick J. Barman. I have a physical copy in Portuguese, and it is fantastic how the author don't let slip any detail of that period of Brazilian history!
You should look for a more detailed video, seriously, since you got so interested in it. This is barely a footnote, but a good introduction. It's an interesting story about how the republican slaveowners overthrew the scholar emperor.

They meant "indigenous" and not " Indians". In Portuguese is more or less the same word for both so I can see why the translation went that way xD

The map has several mistakes, such as the course of the São Francisco river, as well as showing Uruguay as not under Brazil during Pedro I's rule, or showing Rio as the capital in the 1960s (it was Brasília already). Suibhne's video may be better than this one (not sure, I don't really remember which one was better).
EDIT: Geo History has a leftist bias (because Europe), but is the most accurate summary overall.
Indians = indigenous peoples i.e. Amerindians/Natives/First Nations. In Brazil we call them 'índios' whereas people from India are 'indianos'.
I believe that's it's important to note that external factors did had weight in the independence of Brazil, but several rebellious groups are known to had fought against the Portuguese crown, in attempts to free Brazil.
In Bahia, the state I'm from, the 2nd of July is a important date, cause we know that the rebellious groups fighting against the Portuguese navies were victorious in that date, marking a important milestone in the war against Portugal
We have a saying in Brazil "To Englishman to see", meaning that several laws against slavery were approved because of the pressure England was putting the in crown to abolish slavery here.
So not everything was from the goodness of their hearts...
1 Brazil is bigger then mainland usa
2 Brazil was created by Portugal, even the name name brazil came from a Portuguese word that meant wood.
Before Portugal there was NOTHING going on the area of south America/"brazil" , so Portugal is the first political state and the first entity to exist there And it brought many things to the new place.
Brazil got almost everything from Portugal : language, culture, cuisine, art, literature, architecture, politics, ruling system, armed forces, Calvary, trade, technology, engineering etc....
4 india was "prevalent" pretty much onky when it came to trade of species, i mean other states like ottoman empire or persia also became prevalent when they controlled the specie trade.
5 other countries couldn't get a hold on brazil like Portugal because spainand Portugal had the biggest and most powerful ships /navy and had the latest technology during tue 1400s - 15000s - 1600s and even during 1700s (but uk and france And russia all became good at that shipbuilding sector as well)
5 brazil doesn't owe its independence to france it does owe it to Portuguese family as its literally said in the video.
Great vídeo from Brazil.
something we learn here in BR is that we had dutch from netherlands colonizing Pernambuco earlier than Portuguese itself. I dont really know if this is a myth. Anyway, what portugal has stolen from Brazil is 1M times more than what they offered.
All these events that occurred here in Brazil are true and to this day we Brazilians feel the side effects. My surname, for example, came from a master of a farm in the region of the state of Minas Gerais (here in Brazil, the enslaved received the surname of his slave master), I can even say that Brazil was the last country on the American continent to abolish slavery because my grandfather told me stories that his grandfather was born a slave and worked until adulthood in that situation.

Nice video, but only a scratch in Brasil history
Make more videos about Brasil, as a Brazilian i would like that
Really nice video, I would have liked if they mentioned how for a time it was called “Kingdom of Brasil and Portugal” bein Rio its capital.
Or much more can be told about Pedro II, one of the best rulers (not just best emperor) to ever be. Most “great rulers” of the pasts are considered so for their military gains in great part. Not Pedro II (actually hes downfall is partially due to not caring about his army and with its lack of influence in it, other politicians used the military to take power). He seems the be a great man, the one who did not want to be a king, and was so just for its country.
Brazil was not a typical colonial regime but an integral part of the Kingdom of Portugal. If you were born in Brazil, you were considered a Portuguese from "overseas" (além-mar). It's astonishing how widespread this misconception is.
In historiography, it is crucial to understand that starting in 1815, with the elevation of Brazil to the status of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves, Brazil ceased to be a colony in the classical sense. This change was formalized by King John VI, and from that point, Brazilians had the same political status as the Portuguese in the metropole.
Additionally, it's important to note that the monarchical power in Portugal was quite different from the absolutist monarchy of England. The Portuguese system included regional elections, dukes, and counts, as well as local armies, which provided citizens with significantly more freedom than is seen in any modern society today.
Moreover, the notion that natural resources were exploited solely to enrich Portugal is flawed. If Brazil was an integral part of Portugal, the wealth generated here also stayed here. This is evident in the historically and architecturally rich cities of Brazil, which have been well-preserved and demonstrate the significant wealth that remained in the country.
To further illustrate the Portuguese spirit and intentions in coming to Brazil, we can reference Luís de Camões, who highlighted the mission to convert souls to God. This stands in contrast to the anthropophagy practiced by some indigenous tribes in Brazil. Instead of exterminating these tribes, the Portuguese, particularly the priests, sought to integrate them into society. They taught agricultural techniques, arts, writing, and mathematics to the tribes willing to assimilate. By the early Brazilian kingdom period, many tribes were fully integrated into society. In fact, in São Paulo, the most spoken language was not Portuguese but Tupi.
Therefore, the thesis that Brazil was merely a colony of exploitation is simplistic and overlooks important nuances of our history. During the colonial period, there was certainly the exploitation of natural resources, but the relationship between Portugal and Brazil was more complex and multifaceted than the simple classification of an exploitation colony suggests.
Additional Information:
In Brazil, slavery emerged as a product of its time and not as a racist bias stemming from the Protestant spirit prevalent in Northern Europe. As noted by authors of the time, such as Gilberto Freyre in "Casa-Grande & Senzala," slavery in Brazil was primarily driven by economic convenience rather than racial considerations.
At the end of slavery with Princess Isabel's signing of the Lei Áurea in 1888, pro-slavery republicans, primarily military figures, seized power from the monarchy, leading to the establishment of the republic. Thus, those with racist ideologies and vested interests in maintaining slavery took power after the enactment of the Lei Áurea.
For further evidence, one can refer to Arlindo Veiga dos Santos, a key figure who pioneered the first Black movement in Brazil advocating for traditional monarchy. He highlighted the issues of the republic, especially elevating concerns over the republic's removal of politically significant Black individuals from the Imperial power structure.
the route the video traces of Cabral to India is misleading. It seems he made a huge mistake. Although there are many indications Cabral's fleet KNEW of Brazil and only found land on purpose to LEGALLY (according to Tordesillas) claim it, even if they didn´t , it wouldn´t be so of course.
BECAUSE OF THE TURN OF THE SEA... the trade winds and currents... that circulate counter clockwise in the southern Atlantic.
You cant sail directly south along Africa. The currents and winds are against you.

grettings from brasil ;)
The separation of Brazil from Portugal by Dom Pedro I was detrimental to both sides. Prior to the separation, Brazilian citizens enjoyed the freedom to travel to Europe. However, after the split, they were confined to the American continent, resulting in permanent separation of families due to bureaucratic issues rather than a true national affiliation.
Brazil was considered a state with a capital "S," as many put it, rather than a fully independent country. In essence, we Brazilians still carry a Portuguese heritage and identity. Dom Pedro I's decision to declare independence was hasty and lacked foresight. Economically, Brazil and Portugal were closely intertwined, and the abrupt separation led to significant economic disruption and loss for both nations.
Moreover, politically, the move strained relations between the two countries, impacting diplomatic ties and causing lasting geopolitical implications. Dom Pedro I's decision to separate Brazil from Portugal thus stands as a critical error, driven more by immediate political ambitions than a thorough consideration of the long-term consequences for both Brazilian and Portuguese societies.

8:50 workers? lol, that guy pronouncing slaves wrongly!
In this video, although it's the right vision.
the thing about the "slave trade" A lot of the slave went to brazil and other latin american and carribean countries, in fact by that time anyway the united states outlawed the transporting of slaves from africa. Most of the black people at that time in latin america and carribean they wore from africa as in they wore born in africa, in the united states my ancestors wore like 20th generation removed from any thing african by the late 1800s.
Algumas informações estão distorcidas ou incompletas.
The history of Brazil is much more than this summary video! The history of slavery was a great contract between Portugal, Brazil as a colony and the Congo empire, in Africa! Portugal distributed weapons and gunpowder and other technology to the Emperor of Congo, and he delivered the slave labor that he himself conquered from weaker tribal peoples! That's right, black people enslaving black people!
Os índios ou indígenas tem este nome, porque os portugueses pensavam que estavam na Índia. E assim os habitantes tiveram este nome.
Brazil is like Halo 2 on legendary, awesome and yet infuriating. I genuinely think its impossible for westeners (and I say this because I dont think Brazil is a true western country) to grasp how ridiculously complex our geopolitics and history is.
Why do you think Brazil is an non-western country? It doesn't make any sense.
@@rafaplaysz1389 Because latin america is largely its own thing, has strong western influence, but I dont think its a true western culture except for Argentina and maybe Brazil and Mexico. Latin america is very isolated from the world when you think about it, every contry has largely friendly relations with everyone, yet they are not realy close to no one, always playing both sides and trying to develop themselves. Mostly all latin american countries still face structural issues from colonialism, much like Africa, but not as bad...
Another question the video doesn´t mention is that Brazil's independence at the hands of Dom Pedro was agreed by his father, the King of Portugal. The King TOLD PEDRO to make Brazil independent.
As the Portuguese burgeoise and nobles wanted Brazil to be reduced to colonial status again and have monopoly of trade as in the centuries before, King Dom João KNEW that move would result in a war of independence, just like had happened in the US and all Spanish colonies. And Portugal would LOSE Brazil and it would become a Republic.
The master touch was having PORTUGAL losing Brazil... but the Bragança Royal Family to keep it.
Notice that by the time of independence, Dom João VI had already signed the new Constitutional Monarchy and had his powers severely reduced in favor of the Parliament. So the war of independence which was much more lightweight than in most other colonies in the Americas, was much more something from the Portuguese Parliament than from Dom João VI.
Hey, Brazil have another capital since 1960, Brasília, in center Brazil.
this is how Brazil become a colony and how Portugal royalty reacted ,not how it become a country. There was so much to become a country and none is in the video. And the end of slavery was made by the people and the slaves, not monarchy ,they had no choice when it get power up by the kilombas to set people free.
Brazilian territory might have been broken into smaller countries, had we been colonized by Spain. Nobody knows how it would have turned out for these smaller countries.
Vídeo muito bom. Mas ficaram algumas coisas q eu considero importantes para entender um pouquinho mais a história do Brasil.
1 - Portugal já sabia da existência das Américas, desde que Vasco da Gama já havia relatado a existência de terras, por isso o tratado de Tordesilhas foi alterado para chegar até o Brasil
2 - Portugal era amiguinho da Inglaterra, por isso a corte portuguesa fugiu de Napoleao
3 - teve um período que o rei da Espanha TB era o rei de Portugal, não unificou os territórios, mas isso aboliu o tratado de Tordesilhas, por isso as terras do Brasil se espandiram tanto para o oeste
4 - a independência do Brasil foi proclamada pela Maria Leopoldina, esposa de Don Pedro I, ele apenas oficializou
5 - 80% dos negros já eram livres quando teve a libertação dos escravos no Brasil. Mas esses 20% q faltavam eram justamente os que trabalhavam nas grandes fazendas. E eram os grandes fazendeiros que estavam mantendo a monarquia no poder, pois já existiam muitos movimentos a favor da república
6 - a velha república foi uma piada, os votos eram públicos, e o presidente sempre alternava entre São Paulo e Minas Gerais
7 - a Ditadura Militar brasileira foi diferente das outras ditaduras, pois no Brasil a Ditadura era feita por um presidente eleito pelos militares q mudava periodicamente, mas de resto era igual qualquer ditadura
8 - metade dos presidentes do Brasil sofreram impeachment kkkkkkkkkkk
KKKkkkkkk os republicanos eram os donos das fazendas, a maioria das revoltas populares aconteceram depois dos republicanos tomarem o poder. Literalmente tiraram a princesa Isabel do poder por causa da Lei Áurea.
República Velha é podridão pura mesmo, tudo de ruim do Brasil vem disso, dos presidentes pós-Getúlio Vargas e da Ditadura Militar. Não tirando a culpa de outros períodos.
Primeira vez que encontro uma pessoa chamada Vitor Filho além de mim
What country has the largest population ? I think its italy .

Hey man! This is the official story. In fact, the trade of enslaved people became the main economic force in Brazil, and the various lords and masters who ruled Brazil - yes, because it wasn’t even a united nation - out of fear of England's pressure to end slavery and create a consumer market for English products, joined forces with the future emperor, almost forcing him to declare independence. Independence that was actually paid as compensation to Portugal. This independence allowed slavery to last another century, and even today, it excludes the descendants of the enslaved. Despite making up over 50% of the population, they remain the poorest, least educated, and most marginalized.
