THE INDEPENDENCE ENGLISH
DAY OF BRAZIL
AZ
The Independence Day of Brazil
commonly called Sete de
Setembro (Seventh of September
is a national holiday observed
in Brazil on 7 September of every
year. The date celebrates
Brazil's Declaration of
Independence from the United
Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the
Algarves on 7 September 1822. In
1808, French troops commanded by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Portugal
as a retaliation for the Iberian country's refusal to participate in the trade embargo
against the United Kingdom. Fleeing persecution, the Portuguese
monarchs transferred the Portuguese Court from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, then capital
of Colonial Brazil. In 1815, Prince Regent John VI created the United Kingdom of
Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves, elevating Brazil to the rank of kingdom and
increasing its administrative independence. Brazil, Portugal, and Great Britain were the
three major contributors to the independence of Brazil all three motivated by the
circumstances peculiar to each. Brazil's Independence was ultimately won through
diplomacy after three years of war against Portugal.
