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."

Since the 1755 Lisboa Earthquake, the idea of changing the capital of Portugal to Brazil was growing among the government as by that time, Gold had already been found in Brazil and it had become the most profitable land owned by Portugal.

@@ericksousa911 Actually the capital only became in Rio because the monarchs had to flee from Mainland Portugal due to the Peninsula Wars and the French Invasions of 1808, 1809 and 1811. And the golden years of Brazil were actually before the earthquake of 1755, in the times of D. João V, the Louis XIV of Portugal.

It also lost some unfortunately, including cisplatina and French Guiana

@@AirMadeKat goes back to the Napoleonic wars. The Portuguese had dominance over the continent, so they occupied French Guiana.

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.

Meet Arnold He is going to colonize the Americas

@@minisaiju7699 I was asking who Arnold is

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.

@@kamranmisri2366 Well, Mexicans are natives lmao.

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.

empress Leopoldina was the daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor.

True decolonization is, when all european culture dominated states disappear and the Aztec, Mayan, Inca and so on Empires are reborn, including tribal lands (if the tribes still exist at all). People of european origin might live then in reservations.

Not much to cover besides Philippines, Indonesia, Indochina and Myanmar... Pretty sure Malaysia got it independence peacefully (Correct me if I'm wrong)

@@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

@@GreenGalaxio 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 ).
