It's important to note that Pedro II was deposed from the throne in 1889 because the year before slavery was abolished in Brazil and former slave owners were not compensated for their losses. The monarchy was popular among the general population but the elites were very unhappy with it for years, and the abolishment of slavery was the famous last straw that broke the monarchy's back.

The Anglo-Portuguese alliance was taken seriously enough by the English/British that they intervened militarily in at least three of the wars mentioned - the War of Independence, the war against Napoleon and (I think) the war between Maria and Miguel. A lot of the Duke of Wellington's "British" army in the Peninsular War were actually Portuguese units.

[@VanDerHaegenTheStampede]

*Maria II of Portugal* holds the distinction of being among the earliest *European monarchs born in the Americas* . Her birthplace was Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on April 4, 1819, a time when the Portuguese royal court sought refuge in the region due to ongoing political turmoil. Her full name, Maria da Glória Joana Carlota Leopoldina da Cruz Francisca Xavier de Paula Isidora Micaela Gabriela Rafaela Gonzaga, reflects the royal heritage she inherited. Another European royal figure born in the Americas was *Princess Grace of Monaco* , who, upon her marriage to Prince Rainier III, was born in the United States. *While these are notable instances, are there other such examples of European monarchs born in the Americas?* While Maria II was the first European monarch born in the Americas, her father, *Pedro I of Brazil* (also known as *Pedro IV of Portugal* ), who declared Brazil's independence from Portugal in 1822 and became its first emperor, was the first monarch to rule over an independent nation in the Americas. Pedro I's actions eventually led to the separation of Brazil from Portugal and the establishment of the Empire of Brazil. Certainly, a Portuguese prince (Pedro IV of Portugal and Pedro I of Brazil) proclaimed Brazil's independence, invaded Portugal, and installed a Brazilian princess (Maria II of Portugal), his daughter, as the ruler of Portugal. Meanwhile, a Brazilian prince (Pedro II), son of the aforementioned Portuguese prince, ascended to the throne as Emperor of Brazil. Brazil❤Portugal

[@logangrifo]

Wait up! Pedro I of Brazil was father to Maria II of Portugal, not her brother as you say in the second paragraph. And he wasn't just a prince, he was indeed a crowned king, thus Pedro IV of Portugal as well. His reign was short, but his influence in both Brazilian independence and Portuguese constitutional monarchy is too great, and creates a lot of nuance between the ruleship of both countries.

[@VanDerHaegenTheStampede]

@@logangrifo I appreciate your keen observation, and I've promptly rectified the text. In the final paragraph, when I refer to "prince and princess," I specifically mean those who are direct offspring of a reigning or incumbent monarch.

[@Jean.Philippe.]

Henry I became the first monarch to rule over an independent American nation on March 28th of 1811: King of Haiti,; Agustín I of México became the second monarch to rule over an independent American nation on May 22nd of 1822: Emperor of the Mexican Empire being the first Emperor on the continent, making Pedro the third monarch of the continent and second emperor on the continent on October 12th, of 1822.

This "brother of a french duke" who started the House of Burgundy was the son of Robert I, duke of Burgundy, who in turn was the son of Robert II, King of France.

A consequence of losing the Civil War was that Miguel's side of the family would be forever prohibited from inherit the crown of Portugal. Duarte Pio being a *direct* male descendant of Miguel has no legal claim to the throne, since that law was maintained throughout the First Republic; the Estado Novo dictatorship and the current Second Republic. It is said that before his death, Manuel II meet in secret with the, at the time, duke of Bragança to annul that law, but nothing came of it.

[@Bardun_]

Just a couple things worth of note: 1. Though Maria was still alive at the time, she had been deemed too mentally ill to rule years prior to the napoelonic wars, so who really ruled at that time was her son, João VI, who had been elevated to Regent-Prince. 2. Brazil really didn't have a very strong indepence movement. That is, until the portuguese forced the royal family to realocate the capital back to Lisbon and refused to grant autonomy to the Brazillian provinces. So, if you want to make fun of the Portuguese, you can tell them that, in fact, it was they who declared indepence from their richest colony (there were some local indepence movements in Brazil, but none of those was close to be as strong as the ones in the rest of Latin America at the same time, and there wasn't any indepence movement encompassing the whole of Brazil until the courts demanded that Pedro I return to Portugal and he refused to do so).

I was just discussing the House of Braganza the other month.

[@-ABIC-]

Me too! I speculated on why the House of Braganza family tree seemed to have more twists and turns than a convoluted labyrinth designed by a particularly mischievous hedge maze architect. It's almost as if each branch of the family tree decided to embark on their own epic quest, complete with dramatic plot twists and unexpected alliances. I mean, who could have predicted that moment when one Braganza cousin, while sipping tea in a quaint Portuguese garden, would suddenly declare, 'I shall venture forth to establish my own miniature kingdom in the backyard, complete with a parliament of squirrels!' As I delved deeper into the annals of Braganza history, I stumbled upon the legendary 'Braganza Banana Rebellion' of 1723, where a distant relative, known for his peculiar fondness for fruit-themed revolutions, attempted to overthrow the monarchy using a battalion of well-trained banana peel-wielding troops. It's a tale that has been passed down through generations with great amusement and a hint of perplexity. And then there's the enigmatic 'Braganza-Cuckoo Clock Conspiracy' of 1898, during which a Braganza nobleman became convinced that time could be manipulated by strategically placing cuckoo clocks in various corners of the palace. It led to a series of whimsical experiments involving clockwork contraptions and melodious chimes, leaving historians both baffled and amused.

@@DJuuJ I usually stay away from talking anything about this topic, but... You nailed it, Bravo!! It's indeed weird how much these dudes loved to follow Bolsonaro around, agreeing with anything he said (at least from what we could see from different social medias), maybe most of them agreed with his authoritarian, anti-democratic ideas? I also agree that this looks more like an internet fandom than anything else, it's a bit weird to be honest, If I'd guess, I think these ideas came up because of Brazil's dark history during the Republic Era, especially the early years (let's be honest, the _branqueamento_ of the First Republic was really bizarre) and all the horrible things that happened during the past century (like the military dictatorship, corruption, poverty, etc). I also heard once that some people agree on this movement because apparently the countries that are monarchies have the best and biggest happiness rate, HDI, economic, etc, along with some other "this country have this" arguments. Now, IMO, the monarchy today is only good for staying in the pages of history books, it had it's good times, it was really important for our history, but it also had some bizarre sh1t, let's not forget that the Empire only began to exist (and consequently, Brazil became independent) because of a family drama in the Portuguese royal family. Having the return of the monarchy today would probably just make everything worse, as you pointed out, even if we are currently living in a "democratic" republic, they already gave in to the elites, then imagine with having some dude sitting in a throne and a small team for the parliament. The only good thing we'd get out of it would be hearing about the dramas in the Royal Family, just as bad as a soap opera, but well, we already had some good laughs with all the family drama of the previous president. That was pure gold, I mean, jewel.

Such a great channel. We just traced our family from Scotland to KY and found out we’re related to Daniel Boone. 😂 Such a surprising connection.

There are living descendants of Maria II but they are members of the Habsburg and Catholic Hohenzollern family. I think I need to mention this fact.
