During the Napoleonic Wars, the royal family in Portugal fled to the Brazilian colony in South America. They ruled from Brazil for several years, even after Napoleon's defeat. The king returned to Portugal after the people there demanded that he return, though he left his son, Dom Pedro, to rule Brazil. In 1822, after hearing of discussion of removing his power, Pedro declared independence from Portugal and was crowned the emperor of Brazil. In 1824, Portugal acknowledged Brazil's independence.
