In this video class about the History of Independence in Brazil, the professor from Rozante of the “Hexag Medicina” channel gives a brief explanation about the main events for the independence of Brazil.
THE history of Brazilian independence it can be described by a long four-year process, from 1821 to 1825. This period of governmental change was characterized by constant violence, which highlighted the Kingdom of Portugal and the Kingdom of Brazil.
But his story presents an even greater trajectory.
The whole story came together with the discovery of Brazilian lands. In April 1500, Portugal decided to claim the land as its own.
Period also characterized by the command of vessels by Pedro Álvares Cabral
Colonization in turn began in 1534 with Dom João III.
In 1549 the King began to take command of the lands, and ended up assigning a name at the time as "General Government".
The tribes present in the lands were either enslaved or ended up being exterminated by European diseases, which had no resistance.
When the wealth of sugar was discovered in the lands of Brazil, export began, and slavery with it. Then there was the export of Africans.
2 centuries were steeped in this struggle, slavery and the diversity of opinions that certainly should not exist, or at least the government at that time believed.
In 1799, the king of Brazil also became the king of Portugal, after the queen, his mother, was declared insane by doctors.
And it was in 1801 that the ideas of transferring the government from Portugal to Brazil began.
After refusing to return to Portugal, Dom Pedro's actions began to completely displease the Portuguese bourgeoisie. This factor occurs mainly because they ended up not having the freedom to give orders or demand something from Brazil. The government started to be completely different.
Dom Pedro, then, gathered the assembly of constitutionalists and organized the navy. Factor that forced all Portuguese troops to return to Portugal.
O Independence Day of Brazil it was shortly after Dom Pedro actually determined that no law in Portugal would be taken into account, without clearly his approval or that of the assembly of constitutionalists.

There were certainly numerous factors that led to independence of Brazil, therefore, as soon as the Liberal Revolution in Porto emerged in Portugal, the constitutional movements that were highlighted in the meeting of the courts also emerged.
Where he highlighted that when Brazil was a colony of Portugal, trade was not free. Being banned with any other country.
In 1808 trade was cleared, so when the court returned to Portugal it decided to ban it again.
The nobility did not accept as the invoice and commerce had increased greatly.
Pedro was pressured to stop accepting orders from Portugal. England, which was constantly doing business with Brazil, decided to intervene and also pressured D. Peter.
The King of Portugal, upon learning that everyone was pressuring his son to leave his orders, asked him to return.
Pedro, who did not want to return to Portugal, collected a signed bass, which he later showed to his father saying that he had made the decision to remain in Brazil. A day that came to be known in history as “O Dia do Fico”.
"If it's for the good of all and the nation's general happiness, tell the people I'm staying."

Dom Pedro, when refusing Portugal's support, felt concerned about Brazil's economy, so he decided to travel to Minas Gerais and São Paulo, respectively, to clarify to the people his concern.
He also wanted to clarify to the people his new projects for the country, so he was barred when he received a new letter, which completely annulled the constitutional assembly and asked for its return.
He was in Santos, right by the Ipiranga River, and that was when, in a war cry, raising his sword, he proclaimed: “Independence or death”.
The day became known nationally, as the day Dom Pedro saved the people from his father's tyrannies.
In December of the same year he was declared the Emperor of Brazil.
That's how the Independence Day of Brazil.
The cry of “independence or death” was one of the main beginnings of “worship to the people” in his name. Where it showed that he would be willing to die for the people, and better yet, that he was brave enough to go against his whole family, against his principles.
The cry for independence raised him in Brazilian society and made him a mars for all subsequent generations.
After Independence Day of Brazil even the economy was seen differently. Overall, the economy has become more open.
Negotiations with different countries were one of the first changes made after the Independence Day of Brazil.
So the negotiations were greatly shifted in focus. There were consequences of thousands of deaths in the wars for the freedom of the people. Where it ended up presenting difficulties for the country to re-establish itself.
As much as Dom Pedro opened roads and modified a little of Brazilian society, the people could not completely adapt to the changes. Which generated a series of conflicts for years.
