      Well his father became a puppet of the Portuguese court after he signed the Constitution. In fact the Brazilians tried to get Pedro I to declare independence since King João returned to Portugal, and the only reason why Pedro l did not declare war, was because he didn't wanted to betray his father. He only get into the independence vibe after his son died following the tensions between Portugueses and Brazilians in Rio de Janeiro, who force the Royal family to leave the city and made the boy already weak health became worse. Pedro was so furious that he write to his father "It was your soldiers who killed my son."

      Actually, the issue was more political than anything else: Paraguay supported the Uruguayan White Party and Brazil supported the Uruguayan Crimson Party. The Crimson Party staged a coup against the White Party and took control of Uruguay, then the Paraguayan Government wanted to help the White Party, but had to cross Argentina to get to Montevideo. They asked the government of Argentina for permission, but they refused to avoid getting into trouble with Brazil, which was a powerful empire back then. Anyway the Paraguayan army crossed the Argentinian border causing the war.

    For those who are interested in knowing more about the subject, the independence of the Spanish-American colonies differs greatly from the independence of the United States, on our side it all began as a consequence of a power vacuum generated by the intervention of Napoleon Bonaparte in Spain. Due to this, neither the Spanish nor the colonists accepted the authority of Joseph Bonaparte as the new king of Spain and began to organize on their own, in the case of Spain the Court of Cadiz was formed as the main opponent of the French occupation, but his authority was not recognized by the Colonies either, this was because the colonies appealed to the "Siete Partidas del Rey Alfonso X" which were the body of laws that had prevailed in Spain since the Middle Ages during the times of The Reconquista, and according to these partidas, the king's power came from the people and without the king the power returned to the people once more, added to this, it was understood that the American colonies were not part of the Spanish state as is normally thought,
    on the contrary they were literally the personal lands of the kings of Spain since 1492, united to peninsular Spain only by their figure and authority, without the king at the head, the colonies saw themselves with the right to govern themselves until the monarch returned. So at first, the colonies did not want independence, but while the Napoleonic wars continued and tyrannical actions were taken by the colonial authorities in order to maintain control, radical factions and groups of patriots influenced by the ideas of the Enlightenment, Freemasonry and the rejection of the absolutist reforms of the House of Bourbon, began to take activities to convert the colonies in independent democratic republics, this is how the independence of Hispano-America was largely gestured

      @RidleyScottOwnsFailedDictators 3 года назад +28

      Absolutely the Spanish Colonies wanted their independence from Spain, even before the whole "power vacuum" that you speak of. The"Criollos", the Spanish descendants in the Americas were the main reason for independence from Spain. The Criollos wanted independence because they were not treated fairly by the Peninsulares, the Spaniards in mainland Spain. The Criollos were considered second class citizens, and were constantly overruled by the Peninuslares in the Americas, which made no sense since it was the Criollos who understood life in the Colonies better. The Criollos had a good point for complete independence, they were the ones who were expanding the Spanish Empire, conquering territory, controlling vast territory, governing the locals, and defending the Spanish Colonies from other European powers, like defeating the British in Rio de la Plata in 1806 and 1807, without the help of mainland Spain. The Peninsulares always tried to impose on the Criollos, like forcing the Criollos to give the Eastern Part of Hispanola to the French because of a Spanish mistake in Europe in the 1790s, the Criollos in Santo Domingo were not consulted, not considered, nor were they happy about it. There was a reason why almost everyone in Latin America, especially those with full Spanish ancestors like Bolivar, San Martin and Jose Marti later on, wanted Spain out of the continent. It was because Spain was unjust and ungrateful to those who expanded and defended her Empire for so long. The Criollos had no reason to be loyal to Peninuslares who was unfair to them. The Criollios did MORE for the Spanish Empire than anyone. It was them and their ancestors who conquered mighty empires like the Aztec, Inca, and Mayan Empires. It was them and their ancestors who crossed, mountains, deserts, jungles, and tundras in unknown territory to expand the Spanish Empire. It was them and their ancestors who defeated other European powers like the British, French, Portuguese and Dutch, keeping the bulk of the Spanish Empire for the Spanish. Then the Peninsulares want to go ahead and treat Criollos like second class citizens, ignoring their rights and opinions and not caring if they consent to treaties or not. Loyalty is a two-way street. It is not the Criollos have to be loyal to Spain, but Spain does not have to be loyal to the Criollos. No, the Criollos were not having any disloyalty, especially not from Peninsulares who never even stepped foot in the New World. The ultimate disloyalty was the Spanish being disloyal to the Criollos with Santo Domingo. In the 1790s, Spain lost a war to the French Republic fought in Europe, but in order not to lose territory in Europe, Spain gave France the Eastern part of Hispaniola, which included Santo Domingo. Do you know how hard the Criollos had worked to keep Santo Domingo a Spanish Colony for centuries. Every other European power was always trying to take Santo Domingo, and the Criollos successfully defended it. So now the Criollos in Santo Domingo were French subjects (until they fought off the foreign invaders without help from Spain, like in Rio de la Plata in 1807). So for Spain to just give France Santo Domingo, without consent or approval from the Criollos in Hispaniola, that sent shockwaves to all Criollo Nation in the New World. From California to Patagonia, from Santiago de Cuba to Santiago de Chile, every Criollo thought if it was their home that Spain would give away next. No, the Criollos were not having it. Mexico would not be British, Rio de la Plata would not be French, Nueva Granada would not be Dutch, if Spain wished to give it away. Because Spain no longer controlled the destiny of the Criollo lands.They took their chances to be on their own, because Spain did NOT have their best interest, independence was the correct result.

    It's important to notice Pedro of Brasil entered in conflict with the burgeoise, lower mobility and clergy of Portugal, not with his father, the King.
    Pedro became Emperor of Brazil but remained heir to the Portuguese throne.
    In fact a few years later, he returned to Portugal, deposed his usurper brother Miguel, having the support of a large part of Portuguese population and army (despite Brazilian independence), and put his eldest daughter, born in Brazil, in the Portuguese throne, while his son became Emperor of Brazil, ruling until 1889, and considered the greatest Brazilian of all time

      As an Australian, it sounds weird because we're taught the seven continent model with North America and South America as separate continents, and that "America" is a shortened version of the United States of America. However, it doesn't phase me too much because I understand that other people refer to things differently and that's perfectly fine. With that being said, it does sound weird having an American (US citizen), someone who probably would've been taught the same thing as I, referring to the Americas as a single "America".

      Actually, the Americas are divided into "South", "North" and sometimes "Central" for geopolitical reasons (mainly because the North do not want to mix with the "underdeveloped" and "not white" South). But, it is a unique continent if you consider what a continent is.

If you want some information about South American, Argentina was the second country in the world in the number of european immigrants during the 19th and 20th century and it was the first country in the world in the proportion of european immigrants. Here you can see a festival of the immigrants and their descendants (that are the huge part of the Argentinean society): ruclips.net/video/iGxU_gmSHw0/видео.html

      He said that Haiti took the entire island before declaring it's independence. That's wrong... They declared independence and then had an agreement with the Spanish side of the island that wanted independence from Spain, the pro Spain army was defeated and Spain was having a revolution in their homeland so they didn't even tried to get the island back... Haiti tried to keep the whole island for themselves breaking the agreement that was signed and soon after They lost the Eastern part of the island that is modern day Dominican Republic

      (if the tribes still exist at all).

      @@justalex3828 During the 1951 Kuala Lumpur Municipal Elections, UMNO decided to join the Malayan Chinese Organisation (MCA) to woo voters. This formula of racial co-operation saw the establishment of the Alliance Party that eventually won the first Malayan elections in 1955. Tunku Abdul Rahman became Malaya’s first Chief Minister and began negotiations with the British for independence.
      Following the favourable recommendations of the Reid Commission, the Tunku arrived home from London with the good news that independence would finally come to Malaya. Between the years 1955-57, the Tunku and his cabinet prepared the Malayan Constitution, discussed the administration of justice, cemented racial harmony in the country and resolved to beat the Communists. The Tunku led the nation when he shouted Merdeka seven times at the newly built Merdeka Stadium on the 31st of August 1957.
      The independence of Malaysia is different from much of the independence of other countries. What makes it so different? It is a peaceful independence achieved by holding talks with the British. No other country has ever done that before Malaysia. Additionally, the Malaysian independence was realised by three people with different culture and religion. It is amazing how independence was gained that way. On the glorious day of 31 August 1957, Allahyarham Tunku Abdul Rahman proudly declared the independence of Malaya (now Malaysia) by shouting out “Merdeka” seven times at the Merdeka Stadium.
      Since that day onwards, the people of Malaysia promised to renew the political, economical and social structure in order to reduce the gap among the society. It is no easy job as there are many challenges ahead. The independence became unstable when the 13 May tragedy occured, caused by racial conflicts. Fortunately, the problem was overcomed immediately, ensuring the independence is unjeopardised. Measures are taken but success comes from individuals. How one acts can affect the whole nation.
      As time flies, the danger seems to have extinct, but it lurks beyond the naked eyes. Younger generations tend not to bother the importance of independence anymore, not only in Malaysia but other countries as well. This would cause them to fall prey to the superpowers. Colonization could happen economically and even socially in some parts of the world. Independence should be maintained no only externally, but also internally into the minds of the people. The effects of this agenda which may jeopardise our independence could be our lack of learning, egoism, seggregation and political struggle. If this phoenomena worsen, the independence will extinct.
      This country was colonized for more than four centuries before attaining independence and the end of World War II saw the rise of nationalism amongst its people. Malaysia’s road to independence, however, was far from being a smooth ride. Nevertheless, Malaysia is unique compared to other countries because her fight for independence did not involve bloodshed or vocal strife. Independence was realized by the courageous unity of her multi-ethnics, multi-cultural and multi-religious population

      Placed in global context (viewed externally) Malayasian independence acquires some more insightful details. WW II was too much of an expenditure for the global (overseas) Empires, which are all in West Europe (UK, the Netherlands & France particularly) of which Italy joined the (National Zocialist or Nazi) Germans. Being small to medium-sized, they have nothing to fall back upon except their vast Empires, which maintained their luxurious life styles. They have much to lose if they lost their Colonies (Empires). Asian Colonies (India in particular) led the assault on the Colonial /Imperial powers, sensing their vulnerabilities. Some more Asian countries (French Indo-China, Ceylon (Sri Lanka now) & Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) notably) joined too acting in concert in a Symbiotic relationship.
      These (Imperial) countries losing their Empires, goaded by US of A (itself a colony or 13 colonies) loomed large as a certainity. In an ever changing scenario, winning the War against Nazi Hitler & subduing Germany was the sole effort into which they threw everything they had. Germany too was a Colonial/Imperial power from about 1878 till 1918 after which she stood stark naked as a defeated Colonial power, giving away her Empire entirely to Legue of Nations that distributed the "spoils of the War" among the other allied powers (British, French, Belgian, Dutch & Japanese).
      The League of Nations for its acts of Ommissions & Commissions got wound up, paving way for WW II. Win in WW II gave the Allies (Japanese dropped out to join Nazi Germany) the necessary impetus to install UN in place of a now defunct League of Nations. UN on its part (& USA as the most powerful member) opted to wind up Empires in Toto. Indonesia & India (& its partitioned Pakistan that again split up in two to create Bangladesh) led the way of a spree of independences. The Empires & their colonies fell like dominoes over the next 45 years while the Cold War, was progressing concurrently. This & "de-colonisation" feeding on each other lasted concurrently, to end together at the same time. All this favourable trends led to peaceful transition to "freedom" in many places. One such was Malaya that emerged later as Malaysia, doubling of its territory by addition of Northern Borneo under the British (sans Brunei ).

      @@imperify7671 this first referendum you speak of is the most recent one and that is accurate, but only because PR was given the option to either statehood or independece. It only won and by such a mild marging because puertorricans weren’t given an option to a third, either (stay) colonial or more automous status. This second referendum you mention is a decade old, where statehood purposefully won as the PDP (pro-colony aka Commonwealth) boycotted voting in this referendum as it would be useless in changing the current colonial status of the Island, of which they themselves created and support and are still a big minority, allowing this to continue. Same for the NPP (pro-statehood). Pro-independence has both grown and been taken more seriously by puertorricans since the second referendum you mentioned happened and as the younger generation replaces the old, true autonomy or independebce looks to become the future for this Island. Puerto Rico is tired of being exploited by rich usanians, being maintaned a colony as per such country’s wishes and not being allowed to self-determinate it’s own future before it was invaded and taken from Spain and repressing any form of national pride and ethnic cleansing until the proclamation of the current-standing Commonwealth, which even if to a lesser extent in some aspects, still continues the colony and its purposful dependence on the foreign empire
