What political autonomy was threatened to be revoked leading to widespread discontent in Brazil?

  • The right to vote

  • The right to form political parties

  • Independence from Portugal

  • The right to free speech

Answer

Brazil was under the political rule of Portugal until the early 1800s. In 1808, Portugal’s royal family was forced to flee from Napoleon and move to Brazil. During their time in Brazil, the Portuguese government granted the country more autonomy. However, in 1820, the Portuguese government decided to revoke Brazil’s autonomy. This decision led to widespread discontent in Brazil and ultimately to the Brazilian War of Independence.
