Abstract
In 1807 the royal family of Portugal fled to Brazil; in 1815 the colony was declared ‘ a kingdom’ ; and the Portuguese Court having returned to Europe in 1821, a national congress assembled at Rio de Janeiro, and on May 13, 1822, Dom Pedro, eldest son of King Joao VI. of Portugal, was chosen ‘ Perpetual Defender ‘ of Brazil. He proclaimed the independence of the country on September 7, 1822, and was chosen ‘ Constitutional Emperor and Perpetual Defender ‘ on October 12 following. In 1831 he abdicated the crown in favour of his only son, Dom Pedro II., who reigned as Emperor until November 15, 1889, when by a revolution he was dethroned, and he1 and his family exiled, and Brazil declared a Republic under the title of the United States of Brazil.
