On September 7, 1822, Prince Dom Pedro declared Brazil's independence from Portugal, founding the Empire of Brazil, which led to a two-year war of independence
Answer:
Brazil declared independence from the Portuguese on September 7, 1822. The independence was proclaimed by Prince Pedro; the first ruler of the Empire of Brazil. Every year on September 7th, Brazil celebrates independence day.
THE WAR OF INDEPENDANCE
In 1822, skirmishes between rival militia began and lasted until January 1824 when Portuguese naval units and army garrisons surrendered and left Brazil. The imperial government in Brazil enlisted slaves and volunteers into the army and the navy. They took control of Rio de Janeiro and the central part of Brazil. Militias loyal to the independence course reinforced the Brazilian army. The navy was able to seize 11 warships that were previously owned by the Portuguese.
The main problem facing the navy was manpower, a large part of the naval crew consisted of Portuguese who were mutinous. Although they had declared allegiance to Brazil, they could not be trusted. The Brazilian government secretly recruited about 500 sailors and 50 officers from Liverpool and London, many of who had participated in the Napoleonic Wars.
On April 1, 1823, a fleet of 6 Brazilian ships headed towards Bahia. The Brazilians placed a blockade and prevented supplies from reaching Bahia. The Portuguese evacuated Bahia and left for Portugal in a convoy of 90 ships. By November 1823, northern Brazil was under the control of the Brazilian forces. Demoralized, the Portuguese left Montevideo and the Cisplatine Province, and by 1824 all Portuguese forces had left Brazil.
