Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

"By the mid-16th century?"

"Though the first settlement was founded in 1532, colonization was effectively started in 1534. (...) By the mid-16th century, sugar had become Brazil's most important export due to the increasing international demand for sugar."

Shouldn't that be by the mid-17th century? A mere 15 years seems incredibly short for sugar exports to become anything meaningful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.2.118.218 (talk) 09:17, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

POV

There wasnt any Brazilian war of independence. greatly biased info. Brazil became independent because the king feared that the Spanish American wars could infect the Portuguese colony, so his son declared the independence of Brazil, but who ordered it was the king of Portugal himself. -Pedro 01:01, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Even though there wasn't a war before independence declaration, it's historically clear that some provinces, like Maranhão, Piauí and Pará, resisted against D. Pedro I, the Emperor of Brazil and former Regent under D. João VI term in Portugal. It take several months 'till the whole country was pacified and united under the new governmnet. The version of the Portugal's king supposed order to his son declares independence is not supported by an expressive number of historicist. I suggest clarification on the issue. Andrelot 23:25, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Calling it a war is misleading. There were unrests and insurgencies. An independence war suggests there was a conflict between Brazil and Portugal, which is not the case. I personally suggest this article be called simply Brazilian Independence. The talk page of the article from the Brazilian Empire suggests that should be divided in smaller articles, this one might be used as a start. Also, historians widely accept and believe the brazilian independence was plotted by Portugal, citing evidences such as Portugal's foreign debt owed to England transferred to Brazil, among others, so your claim is completely false. I support Pedro's comments. Starghost 19:52, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I support the move to the title Brazilian Independence, as there wasn't really a war over this, but only when someone can provide more context for the independence as a whole — not just the resistance there was. The move, as the article is now, would be misleading and confusing. F e tofs ^Hello! 22:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with changing the title to Brazilian Independence. And on a side note, I don't think there's any evidence that João told Pedro to take the crown for himself if looked as though Brazil would revolt, although this is the story that is traditionally told. Monikwee 21:19, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Although I can't provide any links to it, I've seen historians at the University of Sao Paulo say there is evidence in a letter from John to Pedro which would say "Lança mão da coroa antes que outro o faça", "take the crown before somebody else does". Also, it is said the Freemasonry publicized a letter of independence.

The siege of Salvador isn't "POV" just because the Portuguese are unconfortable with the idea. http://ibahia.globo.com/especiais/2dejulho/o2dejulho.asp Macgreco 15:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page moved

I've moved the contents of the "Brazilian War of Independence" page to the "Brazilian Declaration of Independence" page.

I've checked the subject in five different Brazilian History books, all of which make no mention to such war. On the flip side, I didn't see any of the proponents of the "war page" come up with reliable material for references. If anybody wishes to extend the debate, I will bother mentioning each source I checked. In short, although there were local conflicts in certain Provinces, the History books never use the expression "Guerra da Independência" (War of Independence) or any equivalent term. Local revolts and minor confrontations do not add up to a war.

I have preserved the original text, save for minor adaptations in the lead.

Here is a page that uses the expression "Guerra da independência".
