Independence for Brazil.
The Brazilians refused yield to Portuguese’s new political regime and began to revolt. Brazil declared their independence from Portugal on September 7, 1822. On this day, Pedro I, Brazilian leader and son of Portuguese king, stood from the banks of the Ipiranga River and proclaimed "Independence or Death." This is known as the Ipiranga Cry. The Brazilian War of Independence soon followed which lasted until April 1825.
