    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.

      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.

    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.

    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".

    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.

    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: ruclips.net/video/VPXhPYd9CMw/видео.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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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...

    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
