Causes of Independence

Independence was the result of a process of deterioration in relations between Brazilian settlers, especially the elite, with Portugal. This was directly related to the Liberal Revolution of Porto in 1820, but we can consider that it all started with the transfer of the royal family to Brazil in 1808.
The transfer of the royal family was a consequence of the Napoleonic Era and motivated by the invasion of Portugal by French troops. The move of the Portuguese royal family to Rio de Janeiro was therefore an escape. After settling in Rio de Janeiro, what was known as the Joanino Period began.
This name refers to d. João VI, regent who was at the head of Portugal and only became Portuguese king from 1816. Here in Brazil, d. João VI carried out a series of measures that contributed to the modernization of Brazil, promoting economic development and cultural and artistic flourishing
