Enlave John Mcenroe The '''Empire of Brazil''' was a 19th-century state that broadly comprised the territories which form modern Brazil and [[Uruguay]] until the latter achieved independence in 1828. Its government was a [[Representative democracy\|representative]] [[Parliamentary system\|parliamentary]] [[constitutional monarchy]] under the rule of Emperors [[Pedro I of Brazil\|Pedro I]] and his son [[Pedro II of Brazil\|Pedro II]]. A [[Colonial Brazil\|colony]] of the [[Kingdom of Portugal]], Brazil became the seat of the [[Portuguese Empire]] in 1808, when the Portuguese Prince regent, later King Dom [[João VI of Portugal\|John VI]], fled from [[Napoleon]]'s [[Invasion of Portugal (1807)\|invasion of Portugal]] and [[Transfer of the Portuguese Court to Brazil\|established himself and his government]] in the Brazilian city of [[Rio de Janeiro]]. John VI later returned to Portugal, leaving his eldest son and heir-apparent, Pedro, to rule the [[Kingdom of Brazil]] as regent. On 7 September 1822, Pedro declared the [[independence of Brazil]] and, after waging a successful war against his father's kingdom, was acclaimed on 12 October as Pedro I, the first Emperor of Brazil. The new country was huge, sparsely populated, and ethnically diverse. Unlike most of the neighboring [[Hispanic America]]n republics, Brazil had political stability, vibrant economic growth, constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech, and respect for civil rights of its subjects, albeit with legal restrictions on women and slaves, the latter regarded as property and not citizens. The Empire's bicameral parliament was elected under comparatively democratic methods for the era, as were the provincial and local legislatures. This led to a long ideological conflict between Pedro I and a sizable parliamentary faction over the role of the monarch in the government. He also had to face other obstacles. The unsuccessful [[Cisplatine War]] against the neighboring [[United Provinces of the Río de la Plata]] in 1828 led to the secession of the province of [[Cisplatina]] (later to become Uruguay). In 1826, despite his role in Brazilian independence, he became the king of Portugal; he abdicated the Portuguese throne in favor of his [[Maria II of Portugal\|eldest daughter]]. Two years later, she was usurped by Pedro I's younger brother [[Miguel I of Portugal\|Miguel]]. Unable to deal with both Brazilian and Portuguese affairs, Pedro I [[Abdication of Pedro I of Brazil\|abdicated his Brazilian throne]] on 7 April 1831 and immediately departed for Europe to [[Liberal Wars\|restore his daughter to the Portuguese throne]].
