The tropical monarchy whose Braganza crown, abolitionist princess, and coffee-funded grandeur made Brazil the only successful empire in the history of the Americas and the most stable nation in nineteenth-century Latin America.
Empire of Brazil — the constitutional monarchy proclaimed on September 7, 1822 when Dom Pedro I, the Portuguese crown prince left to govern Brazil, declared independence on the banks of the Ipiranga River in the Grito do Ipiranga whose echo made Brazil the largest and most populous nation in Latin America in a single afternoon, the Brazilian Empire inheriting the full territorial extent of Portuguese America in a peaceful transition that spared Brazil the destructive independence wars that fragmented Spanish America into a dozen competing republics. The Empire of Brazil world — whose Dom Pedro II, the scholarly emperor who governed for forty-nine years from 1840 to 1889, presided over the abolition of slavery through the Golden Law of 1888 signed by Princess Isabel in the most celebrated act of emancipation in Latin American history, Brazil becoming the last nation in the Western Hemisphere to abolish slavery and the first whose abolition came without civil war, and whose empire's coffee economy, Amazon rubber boom, and European immigration transformed Brazil into the economic powerhouse of South America before the military coup of November 15, 1889 ended the monarchy and sent the aging Dom Pedro II into exile in Portugal where he died two years later still carrying Brazilian soil in a small pouch next to his heart.
