@@cseijifja as far as i'm aware, most places now consider North and South America to be separate continents, which is the reason for the pluralization, though central and south america seem to be the notable exception. Of course, this is likely because american control of the panama canal has forced people into making this distinction, but regardless, this is now the default linguistic device in english to describe the continents. "America" as a singular term for the continent is now largely considered archaic outside of the continents themselves. Whether this is fair or not is opinion, but "the americas" is now considered the correct term.

In addition to that, as of this date, his memory and legacy is still remembered in Brazil. For some - me included - there is the opinion that he was the best governor/ruler of Brazil of all time.

In a nation that lacks good education, they still remembered what he did and his importance.

D. Pedro I is my all time favourite, i am aware of the long life and achievements of Pedro II (I am portuguese), but in my opinion the life of Pedro I is the most astonishing. How can someone from great priveledge, stay in Brazil and fight for their independence and then leave and fight in the muddy trenches in Portugal where he got tuberculosis that ultimatly killed him. He wrote to brazilian claiming his blood was the same as the slaves , when asking for the freedom of these. Royalty of the time wouldnt compare themselves to that in any effect. He was the liberator of 2 countries, and one of those that against self interest fought for the freedom of everyone everywhere he went.

@@blugaledoh2669 At that time, the King of Spain was also the King of Portugal. This did not last long, and really underlines my point that Portugal's biggest threat was always Spain, which did not really care about Portuguese interests.

@@tomgymer7719 King Philip II was actually lenient on his Portuguese subject allowing their laws to continue except in foreign deplomacy. The main reason this venture failed was because the Habsburg were overstretched and with the union Portugal became a target of their enemies. If several decade ago, the house aviz had been successful and inherited the Castilian and Aragonese crown rather than the Habsburg Charles the Iberian union would probably be more successful. Imagine all of central and south America and the Atlantic and Southeast Asia were controlled by one Dynasty.

@@tomgymer7719 You say that as if the Portuguese care about Spanish interest either. Nevermind the English because remember there was strong anti Catholic sentiment at the time.

You’re probably aware of this already but Laurentino Gomes’s “1808” might be an interesting source for this series

[@marco66pinho]

I am very proud to see that Brazilian true story on this Channel. The world need to know more about the Empire of Brazil and its development.
