Brazilian independence was achieved through a relatively peaceful process compared to other Latin American countries. In 1822, Dom Pedro I, the son of the King of Portugal, declared Brazil's independence from Portugal after being urged by Brazilian nationalists and facing pressure from the local population. The famous cry of "Independência ou Morte!" signified the break from colonial rule. Brazil officially became an empire with Dom Pedro I as its first emperor, ensuring a smoother transition compared to violent revolutions seen elsewhere in the region.
