🇧🇷 Feliz Dia da Independência do Brasil! 🇧🇷
Today, September 7, Brazil celebrates its Independence Day.
On September 7, 1822, Dom Pedro, the son of the Portuguese king and then Prince Regent of Brazil, declared Brazil’s independence from Portugal. According to the traditional account, he proclaimed “Independência ou Morte!” (“Independence or Death!”) along the banks of the Ipiranga River in São Paulo.
The process of independence was shaped by Brazil’s complex colonial history, political changes in Portugal and Brazil, and conflicts that continued even after the declaration. Brazil officially became an independent empire, with Dom Pedro becoming Emperor Pedro I.
Today, 7 de setembro is an opportunity to celebrate Brazil’s history, culture, language, and incredible diversity.
💚💛💙 Feliz 7 de setembro! 💚💛💙
