Synopsis

This history of the Portuguese empire in Brazil contains detailed coverage of the international and diplomatic dimensions, including the role of the Great Powers - especially Britain and its policy of recognition of the former Iberian territories in the region during the early 19th century - the domestic policies of Portugal and Spain and the part played by Brazil. There are vivid descriptions of social and economic life in Brazil as the country moved towards independence, including the horrors of slavery and of the Royal family in all aspects of its (often bizarre) life.
