When the royal family fled to Brazil, Rio became the capital of the Portuguese Empire. So Rio is the only city outside of Europe to ever be a capital of an European State.
@@ReldrikGeo To grasp the size of Brazil, the continental United States is roughly the size of the Amazon jungle (or what used to be considered the jungle some 55 years ago when I was in school). What makes the USA a larger country is Alaska, which itself is enormous; roughly the size of middle America from its northern borders to Canada to its southern borders with the Gulf of Mexico.
As a Brazilian, I say that our culture was greatly shaped by slavery and European immigrants, who mixed together. Slavery was so strong that Brazil was the country that received the most slaves in the history of human trafficking (almost 5 million as far as I remember). The Brazilian empire was the country's peak as a superpower, reaching the fourth GDP in the world, as the second emperor who took over (Dom Pedro II) was an excellent scholar, who spoke more than 12 languages and was trained in 8 areas, gaining respect from Nietzsche and the anti-slavery states of the USA, as Dom Pedro II was an abolitionist. After the coup against the republic (a coup against the will of the people, including). Brazil went through 6 republican periods or eras full of ups and downs, the sixth republic being the time between 1988 and the present day. If you want a tip about studying Brazil, study the period between 1790 - 1889 approximately Because we don't have much connection with the previous indigenous culture, except the Guarani cultures (which are invaders from another tribe on the Brazilian coast) Edit: fun fact: Uruguay was once a Brazilian state called Cisplatina at the time of the empire, but it gained independence with the help of Argentina
@@ReldrikGeo Discounting Alaska, yes, thought not by much aaand it really means nothing as what make a country trully great is its institutions and its people and sadly Brazil's insitutions are corrupt AF and people either don't give AF, are powerless, or support and want to be power of it. Maybe bitcoin changes that in the future but then...bitcoin will make borders mostly meaningless anyway.
As a Brazilian the original video was cool, but out of 10 minutes he spent like 7 talking about colonial history, i.e. Europe, and only a few actually talking about the country 🤡 99% of "History of Brazil" videos on RU-vid are like this btw.
Yeah that's unfortunate, I want to know more about the era before. I know of a channel that talks about the Americas before the Europeans came, I'll see if they have anything on the people in the Brazilian area
@@ReldrikGeo Just an addendum, pesuise Brasil the last crusade in Portuguese and there you will see the true history of Brazil and the parallel and epic Brasil channel
But, actually, most of what made the identity of Brazil comes from the colonial Era. Before the arrival of the portuguese, there was no Brazil. There where many nomad tribes that would fight against each other, sometimes as part of their belief system. One of the worst mistakes that are made around Brazilian history is considering only the republican part(it's worst era until now). If you really want to know the true history of Brazil, you basically need to know the history of Catholicism in Brazil, more specifically, the history of the franciscans and, mainly, the jesuits in Brazil. They were the guys who really MADE Brazil, recording many of the early tribes' culture and early important events.

28:18 this reply was savage 💀 13:11 Princess Maria Leopoldina stayed in Rio de Janeiro as the regent of the country for a few days while D. Pedro took a trip to São Paulo. In this mean time, she signed the the independence decree at Sep. 2nd. She sent a letter to Pedro telling him about the independence. He only got the letter in September 7th, when he proclaimed the independence shouting "independence or death" by the Ipiranga river.
Leopoldina pressured Pedro to declare independence in his letter; she did not declare independence. She was undoubtedly a key player in everything, as she worked very closely with the Prime Minister and collaborated with him in the architecture of independence.
You were right when you said the Empress declared Brazils independence, Empress Leopoldina, from Austria who was married to Pedro the I. In September 1822, Pedro was taking a trip to São Paulo, around 400km away from the capital Rio, when Leopoldina got news from Portugal saying that Portugal would force Brazil to become a colony as it was before the royal Portuguese family came to Brazil fleeing from Napoleon in 1808, Leopoldina got so mad with that that she herlself signed the document that freed Brazil, and sent letters to Pedro, so when he was in SP city, on September 7th, he got these news from Leopoldina and shouted the famous sentence: Independence or death. And that's why everyone says Pedro declared Brazils independence.
Desculpe, mas voce esta equivocado, Leopoldina não declarou a Independência do Brasil, ate porque ela nem tinha esse poder, a carta que ela assinou é aconselhando D. Pedro a decidir o que fazer, que haviam chegado noticia de Portugal que as Cortes Portuguesa, que não é D. João VI, Portugal era governado pelas cortes portuguesas, decidiram retornar o Brasil como simples colonia e não reino unido de Portugal, e exigiram a volta do principe regente pra Portugal, essa historia que foi Leopoldina que assinou a independência é historia de empoderamento feminino e ficção de novela da Globo, não existe tal documento, aconselho para entender melhor procurar o canal do Paulo Rezzuti um dos maiores historiadores do Brasil e procurar no canal os videos a respeito da Leopoldina e sobre a independecia do Brasil
Brazil is like Halo 2 on legendary, awesome and yet infuriating. I genuinely think its impossible for westeners (and I say this because I dont think Brazil is a true western country) to grasp how ridiculously complex our geopolitics and history is.
I still can't believe Spain and Portugueses divide entire planet into to two half even before they left their homeland, I mean how arrogant to even think about it.
9:00 another reason not mentioned for the reduction of native population: miscegenation. The Portuguese colonizers at the time were basically single man looking to make profits in Brazil and go back. They didn't bring women. So they ended up marrying local women, which then received a Portuguese catholic name. Their kids couldn't be enslaved since they were half white. Nowadays more than half of Brazilian ancestry can be traced back to this early miscegenation.
The guy who commented "The indians discovered Brazil" is relating to the native people original from Brazil region, and not indians (from India). You see, native people in portuguese are called "índios". Google translate at it's finnest lol
yeah, it was probably a mistake from google translator cuz we use "índios" to refere natives and is a word close to "indians" (well cuz in first place Pedro Alvares Cabral thought he really got in India so he called them "índios")
the video doesn´t touch very deeply in the Portuguese Court move to Rio. Brazil became United Kingdom with Portugal. And Rio became the capital of the whole Portuguese Empire. This is unprecedent in history in the relation of European colonies with the metropolis. Not only that, but the King didn´t even want to return to Portugal. Napoleon had long been defeated and the Royal Family was still in Brazil lol He was forced to return by Republicans in Portugal who wanted him to sign a Constitutional Monarchy limiting his powers or face a Republican Revolution in Portugal. Also, another result of this was that Dom Pedro I daughter, BORN IN BRAZIL, and since she was still in Brazil by the time of independence, a Brazilian by nationality, became QUEEN OF PORTUGAL. While her younger brother was Emperor of Brazil.
Hmm, video is kinda rushed but the main points I think was left out are: contrary to spanish americas, the portuguese were *mostly* traders, monopolistic but still traders, so there were more assimilation than conflicts with the natives. Conflict only truly rose when "Emboabas" (tupi: foreigners) adventurers came from Europe and fought over trade/resources with the *natives* (which included the portuguese settlers and their offspring with the amerindians). That said, they did try to enslave amerindians but failed, then blamed it on account of them being "very lazy" (lol). After independence, D. Pedro I, and specially his son D. Pedro II and his granddaughter Princess Isabel all HATED slavery, calling it the "national shame", but they saw how civil war ravaged the US, so they opted to end slavery gradually, granting more and more rights to slaves. It wasn't enough for the elite, and the sugar and coffee baron oligarchy, together with the traitorous and cowardly military, gave a coup d'etat and forced Emperor D. Pedro II to resign. He was the best leader this country ever produced (he would walk among the people, without bodyguards, and did so much for disabled people that a japanese anime, Time Travel Shoujo, paid homage to him and Graham Bell: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VPXhPYd9CMw.html) Another important thing is that during this period huge immigration waves came, and these immigrants are mostly responsible for Brazil's development, as they came as exploited workforce but turned it over and became proeminent developers. The italians farmers and industralists, japanese farmers, the confederate americans who were responsible for introducing farming techniques and later the textile industry (fun fact: they still celebrate the "Confederate Fest" here, together with black people), syrians and lebanese, like my ancestors, who boosted trade in the big cities. After that the country only went downhill with the same oligarchy still in power, until people demanded the military to do something and they yet again betrayed the people by not returning power after the civil intervention in 1964. They installed a dictatorship that kept country safe, with less censorship than we have today, but an economy as incompetent and socialist as Soviet Union's, which led to the hyperinflation that forced them to resign in 1985. After that, the socialist psychopaths that tried to create a communist dictatorship like Cuba during military period took over, one of them fixed the hyperinflation problem with austerity, won the people's heart and paved the way for his more stalinist, populist allies, which ruled the country for the last 2 decades with a brief 1-term interruption in 2019. Now they're back and sinking economy again with massive debt, corruption, censorship and we're heading to become the next Venezuela, although it MIGHT change as the oligarchy seems to be losing too much money with the narco-socialist faction, so they might try to ditch them.
23:30 "the indians discovered Brazil" what they mean is the NATIVE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE discovered Brazil. This comment was probably made by a Brazilian. We say this because they were in Brazil first. Índios is the word people still use in Brazil to refer to native indigenous people, because this is the word the Portugueses used, they thought they arrived in Índia. He probaly thinks "indians" means índios in english. Please, react to a video about Dom Pedro II, the child Imperor. He is probably the most important historical figure in the history of Brazil. He was a great Imperor. there is a very good video made about him by the channel Kings and Things.
Você está falando daquele que herdou o Brasil? Aquele que, por "ciúminho" ajudou a quebrar o maior empreendedor do Brasil, João Evangelista( Barão de Mauá)?
Bye Man I loved you I guess you got bored From India, have a good time Just Kidding Love you man ,Brazil is amazing country waiting for Russia and Saudi next
Another question the video doesn´t mention is that Brazil's independence at the hands of Dom Pedro was agreed by his father, the King of Portugal. The King TOLD PEDRO to make Brazil independent. As the Portuguese burgeoise and nobles wanted Brazil to be reduced to colonial status again and have monopoly of trade as in the centuries before, King Dom João KNEW that move would result in a war of independence, just like had happened in the US and all Spanish colonies. And Portugal would LOSE Brazil and it would become a Republic. The master touch was having PORTUGAL losing Brazil... but the Bragança Royal Family to keep it. Notice that by the time of independence, Dom João VI had already signed the new Constitutional Monarchy and had his powers severely reduced in favor of the Parliament. So the war of independence which was much more lightweight than in most other colonies in the Americas, was much more something from the Portuguese Parliament than from Dom João VI.
the route the video traces of Cabral to India is misleading. It seems he made a huge mistake. Although there are many indications Cabral's fleet KNEW of Brazil and only found land on purpose to LEGALLY (according to Tordesillas) claim it, even if they didn´t , it wouldn´t be so of course. BECAUSE OF THE TURN OF THE SEA... the trade winds and currents... that circulate counter clockwise in the southern Atlantic. You cant sail directly south along Africa. The currents and winds are against you. The Portuguese discovered that to travel around Africa, south of the equator you must travel WEST (towards Brazil), then travel south along the Brazilian coast to turn east again only around latitude 30S.
the thing about the "slave trade" A lot of the slave went to brazil and other latin american and carribean countries, in fact by that time anyway the united states outlawed the transporting of slaves from africa. Most of the black people at that time in latin america and carribean they wore from africa as in they wore born in africa, in the united states my ancestors wore like 20th generation removed from any thing african by the late 1800s.
wow, that initial map of Brazil is REALLY BAD. Specially at the southernmost state. When the video started I thought that was supposed to be maybe an 18th century map...
Vídeo muito bom. Mas ficaram algumas coisas q eu considero importantes para entender um pouquinho mais a história do Brasil. 1 - Portugal já sabia da existência das Américas, desde que Vasco da Gama já havia relatado a existência de terras, por isso o tratado de Tordesilhas foi alterado para chegar até o Brasil 2 - Portugal era amiguinho da Inglaterra, por isso a corte portuguesa fugiu de Napoleao 3 - teve um período que o rei da Espanha TB era o rei de Portugal, não unificou os territórios, mas isso aboliu o tratado de Tordesilhas, por isso as terras do Brasil se espandiram tanto para o oeste 4 - a independência do Brasil foi proclamada pela Maria Leopoldina, esposa de Don Pedro I, ele apenas oficializou 5 - 80% dos negros já eram livres quando teve a libertação dos escravos no Brasil. Mas esses 20% q faltavam eram justamente os que trabalhavam nas grandes fazendas. E eram os grandes fazendeiros que estavam mantendo a monarquia no poder, pois já existiam muitos movimentos a favor da república 6 - a velha república foi uma piada, os votos eram públicos, e o presidente sempre alternava entre São Paulo e Minas Gerais 7 - a Ditadura Militar brasileira foi diferente das outras ditaduras, pois no Brasil a Ditadura era feita por um presidente eleito pelos militares q mudava periodicamente, mas de resto era igual qualquer ditadura 8 - metade dos presidentes do Brasil sofreram impeachment kkkkkkkkkkk
KKKkkkkkk os republicanos eram os donos das fazendas, a maioria das revoltas populares aconteceram depois dos republicanos tomarem o poder. Literalmente tiraram a princesa Isabel do poder por causa da Lei Áurea.
República Velha é podridão pura mesmo, tudo de ruim do Brasil vem disso, dos presidentes pós-Getúlio Vargas e da Ditadura Militar. Não tirando a culpa de outros períodos.
I pronounce it knowledge-ya 1:20 bigger than Mainland USA. The map has several mistakes, such as the course of the São Francisco river, as well as showing Uruguay as not under Brazil during Pedro I's rule, or showing Rio as the capital in the 1960s (it was Brasília already). Suibhne's video may be better than this one (not sure, I don't really remember which one was better). EDIT: Geo History has a leftist bias (because Europe), but is the most accurate summary overall. Indians = indigenous peoples i.e. Amerindians/Natives/First Nations. In Brazil we call them 'índios' whereas people from India are 'indianos'.
