You should make an alternate history series based around alternate history hub’s doggerland what if and talk about possibly kingdoms,cultures,religions and most importantly wars
Fun fact: when the portuguese royal family arrived in Brazil, the women hid their bald heads with turbans and unintentionally started a fashion craze among middle and upper classes in Brazil.
Fun fact: when Prince John started to seize buildings for his court and throwing its original inhabitants out his staff would place a sign on the doors written "PR" standing for Príncipe Regente (Regent Prince). However, Brazilians back then would say that the letters stood for "Ponha-se na Rua" (get out) or "Prédio Roubado" (stolen property).
@@PedroHCF37 although those were the literal translations I absolutely agree with you 🤣. And honestly they're much more in-spirit with the general Brazilian vibe 😁

Então parem de vir encher comentários desnecessário e de marcar presença que isso mais prejudica a nossa imagem que ajuda.

I hope you can cover Lei Áurea. The ending of slavery in Brazil is extremely important given that nearly half of the enslaved Africans brought into the Americas went to Brazil.
Into america* , the word i has always been used for the continent in general , not for the country , wich as best is an erroneous habit of convinience in english.
@@cseijifja as far as i'm aware, most places now consider North and South America to be separate continents, which is the reason for the pluralization, though central and south america seem to be the notable exception. Of course, this is likely because american control of the panama canal has forced people into making this distinction, but regardless, this is now the default linguistic device in english to describe the continents. "America" as a singular term for the continent is now largely considered archaic outside of the continents themselves. Whether this is fair or not is opinion, but "the americas" is now considered the correct term.
Very excited for this series! I remember learning in school that the lice outbreak which you guys mentioned led many women in the royal court to arrive wearing headscarves, and upon seeing this, local women began wearing similar headscarves in an attempt to emulate the high "fashion" of the royalty. This fashion trend endures to this day, particularly in the Northeast.
I usually watch the series when it's finished, but I had to come see this one. It's famously recounted that Napoleon once said that João VI was the only one who has fooled him.
@@MarcoAurelio-vv3gz He was in a no win situation and he chose what was probably the best option. By leaving the country he avoided the fate of the Spanish Monarchs thus allowing Brazil’s independence to be way less bloody than its Spanish speaking neighbors.
The bit about Brazilians pretending to renovate their houses indefinitely to avoid being exploited by Portuguese aristocrats perfectly sums up the Brazilian essence, hue.
And the evictions created a joke among Rio residents. The way one was informed their house was being apprehended for a Portuguese aristocrat was an inscription carved on their door that said P.R., meaning Prince Regent. The joke went that the letters meant “ponha-se na rua”, “put yourself on the street”.
The portuguese monarchy did the equivalent of building a second Town Center on Age of Empires when you see that your original one will soon be destroyed by the enemy.
@@coolsceegaming6178 Sometimes i wonder what was the Portuguese court thinking. Their King ideal to fled to Brazil and establish another country over sea is a best ideal. Considering Europe political turmoil and Napoleon guys show up at your doorstep then the aftermath. Considering Brazil was bigger than Portugal and had many new opportunity. Sure it will be a hard momentum task for building a wew country, but hey at least it big and safe across the sea from any European trouble. Like the USA .
Fun fact: the event displayed in the intro has originated a popular saying “Resvés, Campo de Ourique”, which you use when you barely avoided/escaped something. This is because General Junot himself saw the royal ship on the horizon, just away enough from him that he couldn’t get them. Also, thank you for FINALLY making a video that is much much more involved in Portuguese history. I waited for so long Edit: one of the replies pointed out it’s actually “ficaram a ver navios”, not “Resvés, campo de Ourique” (which is about the Lisbon earthquake). Thank you, Duck 0351
"Resves, Campo de Ourique" is a reference to the lisbon earthquake. because the Campo de Ourique region was not affected by the earthquake. The expression you're referring to is "ficaram a ver navios", wich means "watching ships".
Sure, but don't forget Thomas Cochrane, the madman who lead several south American countries navies. He was one of those few interesting weirdos that changed history and would have made even Mad Jack Churchill think he was insane. There are really a lot of interesting characters figuring in the history of Brazil. :)
@@cassianoneto1553 To be honest what was the Portuguese court thinking i do not know. It a new country big with new opportunity and more maritime trade ( if they manage some how to get the west side too which is Peru) . Literally a new Empire for them,safe across the sea without fearing got involve in any European trouble. It literally will be like the USA.
Ugh, if just his descendants didn't try to stoke the pro-monarchic movement in Brazil. They are snooty rich no-bodies who live in Portugal and believe they should be put back in charge of Brazil. Which is par-de-course for most ex-nobility. Problem is they actually have a following among Brazilians who in turn are one of the many sources of fake-news in our country.

As a Brazilian, this is truly one of the BEST videos I've ever seen (in english, portuguese or spanish) about this time period. Really, amazing level of detail. But in truth only thing I can say is, as the meme goes... FINALLY THEY CAME TO BRAZIL!!!!
I’ve been waiting for this since the Simon Bolívar episode. One can’t really have covered the South American independence process without going in depth about Brazil, literally half the continent.

Oh boy this is such a fun period to explore. Glad you guys are finally doing an episode on it! It needs to be known by more people outside of Brazil and Portugal!
As a born and bred carioca (person born in Rio de Janeiro) and studying in one of the few universities that precedes the Royal Escape from Portugal, I'm super happy to see Extra credits talking about our history, especially of the Empire since I love the 19th and early 20th centuries
Looking forward to this series. John VI was the first european king to set foot in the Americas. This would create the country of Brazil but also paved the way to create the version of Portugal that we know today.
Napoleão deveria ter planos bem ruins para os monarcas Portugueses né? Porque haja coragem pra levar a família toda (que sempre foi rica e mimada) pra atravessar o Atlântico por dias, com comida limitada, um monte de doença, sem sistema de esgoto, todo mundo fedendo, com perigo dos barcos serem atacados e afundarem etc. Pra dai chegar num lugar precário, com mais doenças ainda (mosquitos tropicais etc), sem local pra morar, sem nenhuma infraestrutura que eles estavam acostumados. Acho que o Brasil talvez estaria ainda pior hoje em dia se essa família real não tivesse vindo pra cá. E será que estaríamos melhor se eles tivessem ficado aqui e hoje o Brasil fosse ainda o centro de governo portugues e Portugal fosse tipo oque a Guiana Francesa é para a França hoje?
@@FallenLight0 Ya o Brasil provavelmente estaria melhor se tivesse ficado com Portugal mas só se fosse como um reino unido que era na altura e não como uma colonia que era o que o parlamento português queria que fosse.
0:47 Congratulations on nailing the accurate map of Brazil at that time. Brazil’s territory has mildly changed since the arrival of the Empire. Congratulations for the attention at details guys
YESS! I am so happy that y'all are talking about the empire of brazil! by far the most overlooked empire in my opinion! It's such an interesting story that nobody big has told! (that i know of!) Looking forward to this series!!!! Thank you so much for the latino rep!!!! THiS IS AWESOME!!!!!
This is a series I never knew I needed to see! Super excited for this, as the Brazillian Empire is quite interesting as far as empires go in how it was established.
Beautiful 🤩 video. I have been waiting for years for an episode on Brazil 🇧🇷. As a Brazilian I can definitely say thank you for covering the history of our country. It is very interesting and I believe that the world should know about it.
Thank you so much for talking about the history of our country and people, which is usually underrepresented in history worldwide! Hope we can see more of South American history in the future!
If they cover all the history of the Brazilian Empire in this series, they will also say something about the War of the Triple Alliance, the most destructive war in the South American history.
Can’t wait for them to talk about Dom Pedro II, not only was he arguably one of histories greatest emperors, but a man of great learning and a man who truly cared for his people, not to mention he abolished slavery alongside his daughter in a time when few Brazilians were opposed to the institution.
In addition to that, as of this date, his memory and legacy is still remembered in Brazil. For some - me included - there is the opinion that he was the best governor/ruler of Brazil of all time. (Disclaimer: I am not a monarquist). In a Brazillian version of '100 greatest briton' - but for brazillians, ofc - he ranked 30th. In a nation that lacks good education, they still remembered what he did and his importance.
D. Pedro I is my all time favourite, i am aware of the long life and achievements of Pedro II (I am portuguese), but in my opinion the life of Pedro I is the most astonishing. How can someone from great priveledge, stay in Brazil and fight for their independence and then leave and fight in the muddy trenches in Portugal where he got tuberculosis that ultimatly killed him. He wrote to brazilian claiming his blood was the same as the slaves , when asking for the freedom of these. Royalty of the time wouldnt compare themselves to that in any effect. He was the liberator of 2 countries, and one of those that against self interest fought for the freedom of everyone everywhere he went.
I absolutely love all the videos and keep up the good work!! I love the history of the Portuguese Empire and believe that you should do a video on the it. Love the videos!!!
The story of Brazil is so rich and interesting, filled with conflict, political intrigue and mystery, but so few people know about it. Even here in Brazil, there are lots of people that don’t have a clue about who was D. Pedro I. Thank you for this video and making my country history known around the world.
Aaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeee porrrraaaaaa. I am so fucking happy. This is the best moment of my week. BRAZIL GOT A SERIES ON THIS AWESOME CHANNEL. Vai Brasilllllllll
As a Brazilian, it's great to see our history being talked about by fellow history enthusiasts. Our empire phase was a very troubled and interesting time, a lot of rebellions and even a great war against paraguay. Unfortunate today our monarchist period is idealized by reactionaries and far-right groups who try to erase the problems of the monarchy( fake democracy, oligarchy, slavery, corruption, poverty...). Anyway, great video !
As opposed to now? Where the gov't is filled with fake democracy, Oligarchy, corruption and poverty? At least Pedro II attempted to curb and ban slavery.
@@HangmanVa So did many presidents of the republic, whats your point ? Our parlamentary monarchy wasn't even like a true parlamentary democracy because of the fourth power that only the emperor had, and even more the vote system were full of privileges and basically only the rich could vote. And even if some royals suported the end of slavery doesn't change that they also supported this system for much more time.
Greetings from Rio. I'm so pumped to this series!!! Also a fun fact, my old middle school used to work on a building that used to be one of the summer houses of the imperial family, and to this day the building is almost entirely preserved as it was over 150 years ago. Also can't wait for when they get to Dom Pedro II, it's gonna be great.
Hey! Just here to say "Hello!" and "Olá!" to you and to congratulate you for talking about my dear old Portugal - from a long-time portuguese fan - and a bit of it's history (outside of the Discovery Age and after it's peak, I mean). I hope it will be a great journey, as always, about the building of the nation of Brasil!
As a brazilian, born in the south, I can't wait to see if they're covering the farrapo's revolution! Very happy that my favourite history series is bringing out our mighty back story!
I can't believe it! My favourite channel is covering my country's history! I'm very excited about the representation and to see how these unique events will be portrayed.
I remember this story. On the voyage from Portugal to Brazil, a lice infestation forced the Portuguese princesses to shave their heads and throw their wigs overboard. They covered their heads in pork fat and antiseptic powered, and wrapped them in turbans. When the princesses stepped off their ship wearing turbans, the women of Rio de Janeiro assumed it was the latest fashion in Europe, and started wearing turbans too. It goes to show you how ridiculous some fashion trends in history can be.
Finally something about my country. I'm so.happy to see something so amazing made by you guys and gals. Thank you so much, it's really nice to see Brazil represented in an international spotlight
Funny story about the exile of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil-On the voyage, the court ladies didn't have enough fresh water to wash their hair, so they cut their hair short. When they arrived in Rio, Brazilian women saw all of the court women with short hair and assumed that was the latest fashion in Europe, so they cut their hair short to match.
I like how he made it out to sound like the court sailed out immediately and everyone was surprised. Except: "The embarkment took place on the 27th, but due to weather conditions, the ships were only able to depart on the 29 November." So the court was just sitting there at the docks for 2 days.
Heres something interesting: The Brazilian Imperial family was one of the few worldwide that was not removed from power by a popular revolt, but by a military coup, to this day a wildly controversial one.

That's unexpected but really cool
So lice-ridden noblewomen were the reason Carmen Miranda dressed up her head the way she did?
@@ilovemuslimfood666 No. Carmen Miranda's costume is inspired by the turbans worn by candomblé and umbanda practitioners.

However, Brazilians back then would say that the letters stood for "Ponha-se na Rua" (get out) or "Prédio Roubado" (stolen property).

You should cover Agustin I of Iturbide next! It'd be fascinating to learn more about Mexican Independence!
Yeah that would be very interesting
Nice, have been waiting for something of South America in a long time
Looking forward to this series! Great to see some spotlight on South America.
If they cover all the history of the Brazilian Empire in this series, they will also say something about the War of the Triple Alliance, the most destructive war in the South American history.
Can’t wait for them to talk about Dom Pedro II, not only was he arguably one of histories greatest emperors, but a man of great learning and a man who truly cared for his people, not to mention he abolished slavery alongside his daughter in a time when few Brazilians were opposed to the institution.
In addition to that, as of this date, his memory and legacy is still remembered in Brazil. For some - me included - there is the opinion that he was the best governor/ruler of Brazil of all time. (Disclaimer: I am not a monarquist). In a Brazillian version of '100 greatest briton' - but for brazillians, ofc - he ranked 30th. In a nation that lacks good education, they still remembered what he did and his importance.
D. Pedro I is my all time favourite, i am aware of the long life and achievements of Pedro II (I am portuguese), but in my opinion the life of Pedro I is the most astonishing. How can someone from great priveledge, stay in Brazil and fight for their independence and then leave and fight in the muddy trenches in Portugal where he got tuberculosis that ultimatly killed him. He wrote to brazilian claiming his blood was the same as the slaves , when asking for the freedom of these. Royalty of the time wouldnt compare themselves to that in any effect.
He was the liberator of 2 countries, and one of those that against self interest fought for the freedom of everyone everywhere he went.
I am very proud to see that Brazilian true story on this Channel. The world need to know more about the Empire of Brazil and its development.
Desenvolvimento que deu tanto poder as elites que elas derrubaram o imperador kkkkkkkk
Oh crud, a series on the Brazilian Empire? Nice, I always wanted to learn more about that.
I've waited sooo long for you guys to make a video about Brazil. Now you're making a whole series! So exciting!
Extra history finally came to brazil
The intro was amazing, you can really see how extra credits evolved over the years.
"He began his life with clear indications he's lost the genetic lottery." Well, the lottery had been pretty thoroughly rigged...
I am a long time viewer and I really like what you guys are doing keep up the good work
I absolutely love all the videos and keep up the good work!! I love the history of the Portuguese Empire and believe that you should do a video on the it. Love the videos!!!
Empire of Brazil is underrated. All of its two emperor are good ruler and the ending of the empire is the biggest tragedy in Brazilian history.
The story of Brazil is so rich and interesting, filled with conflict, political intrigue and mystery, but so few people know about it. Even here in Brazil, there are lots of people that don’t have a clue about who was D. Pedro I. Thank you for this video and making my country history known around the world.
Aaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeee porrrraaaaaa. I am so fucking happy. This is the best moment of my week. BRAZIL GOT A SERIES ON THIS AWESOME CHANNEL. Vai Brasilllllllll
Thank you so much for making this series! My and my Brazilian partner are enjoying it already!
As a Brazilian, it's great to see our history being talked about by fellow history enthusiasts. Our empire phase was a very troubled and interesting time, a lot of rebellions and even a great war against paraguay. Unfortunate today our monarchist period is idealized by reactionaries and far-right groups who try to erase the problems of the monarchy( fake democracy, oligarchy, slavery, corruption, poverty...). Anyway, great video !
As opposed to now? Where the gov't is filled with fake democracy, Oligarchy, corruption and poverty? At least Pedro II attempted to curb and ban slavery.
@@HangmanVa So did many presidents of the republic, whats your point ? Our parlamentary monarchy wasn't even like a true parlamentary democracy because of the fourth power that only the emperor had, and even more the vote system were full of privileges and basically only the rich could vote. And even if some royals suported the end of slavery doesn't change that they also supported this system for much more time.
because those arent problems Brazil has today.
@@pedrorequio5515 Lol what?
@@gtPacheko ironic statement
Greetings from Rio. I'm so pumped to this series!!! Also a fun fact, my old middle school used to work on a building that used to be one of the summer houses of the imperial family, and to this day the building is almost entirely preserved as it was over 150 years ago. Also can't wait for when they get to Dom Pedro II, it's gonna be great.
God I love Latin American history, and now one of my favorite channels is making a series on Brazil? I might shed a small tear
I have been waiting for a Brazil focused series for like 6 years since i've started watching you guys. I'm so Stoked !!
Clarice Lispector noted that "At the very least, they managed to bring over a little glamour."
It's so nice to see a channel like yours covering Brazil's history. Great video!
yoooooooooooooooooooooooo, Pedro ll is my most favorite monarch of all time so I can't wait
Great video, one of the best. Especially liked the illustrations this time. Looking forward to the rest of this story!!
You’re probably aware of this already but Laurentino Gomes’s “1808” might be an interesting source for this series
Finally extra history takes a moment to recognize my country
Wow I'm really excited for this one!
Hey! Just here to say "Hello!" and "Olá!" to you and to congratulate you for talking about my dear old Portugal - from a long-time portuguese fan - and a bit of it's history (outside of the Discovery Age and after it's peak, I mean). I hope it will be a great journey, as always, about the building of the nation of Brasil!
As a brazilian, born in the south, I can't wait to see if they're covering the farrapo's revolution! Very happy that my favourite history series is bringing out our mighty back story!
I am wondering if they will cover the how we beat Paraguay so hard they still have not recovered.
@@GhostBear3067 didn’t you guys kill like 3/4s of their male population in that war?
I can't believe it! My favourite channel is covering my country's history! I'm very excited about the representation and to see how these unique events will be portrayed.
As a Brazilian who's interested in my country's history, thank you for starting this series.
great to see you guys talking about my country!! love from brazil!
I'll enjoy this series. Can't wait to see Pedro II.
As a Brazilian I learned more about the Brazilian History here than school
I remember this story. On the voyage from Portugal to Brazil, a lice infestation forced the Portuguese princesses to shave their heads and throw their wigs overboard. They covered their heads in pork fat and antiseptic powered, and wrapped them in turbans. When the princesses stepped off their ship wearing turbans, the women of Rio de Janeiro assumed it was the latest fashion in Europe, and started wearing turbans too. It goes to show you how ridiculous some fashion trends in history can be.
And nowadays, they believe turbans is a blackness sign
Finally something about my country. I'm so.happy to see something so amazing made by you guys and gals. Thank you so much, it's really nice to see Brazil represented in an international spotlight
This was fascinating. Can't wait for next week! Also, 1:10 Well done with the Seinfeld reference
And 3:34 with the Futurama reference😆😆
Another classic ‘I’ve never heard of this’ EC series - you guys are ace!
Funny story about the exile of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil-On the voyage, the court ladies didn't have enough fresh water to wash their hair, so they cut their hair short. When they arrived in Rio, Brazilian women saw all of the court women with short hair and assumed that was the latest fashion in Europe, so they cut their hair short to match.
Are we talking about the Brazilian landing strip?
I have a Brazilian friend who told me that Dom Pedro II is still very loved by Brazilians because of his dedications to the country.
Me a casual Kaiserreich fan:
Looks like Portugal is going to reclaim the Birthright
Ah yes... The United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves walkthrough...
I like how he made it out to sound like the court sailed out immediately and everyone was surprised. Except: "The embarkment took place on the 27th, but due to weather conditions, the ships were only able to depart on the 29 November." So the court was just sitting there at the docks for 2 days.
Ive wanted this for a long time but you should also do mexicos empire or the French interventions in Mexico:D
Ooh now you got me... I'm frm Brazil, all I could ever wanted was a series on EC about Br. Thanks a lot.
Heres something interesting: The Brazilian Imperial family was one of the few worldwide that was not removed from power by a popular revolt, but by a military coup, to this day a wildly controversial one.
