- As promised during the Portugal mini-series, Tom and Dominic are returning to Brazil to discuss its history post-independence. This episode will focus upon the Brazilian Empire, in particular the Emperor Pedro II. How did this boy who acceded to the throne at six years old, come to receive a French state funeral in front of 300,000 Parisians in the pouring rain?

Tom: "The French do love a monarch."
*Louis XVI coughing profusely in the afterlife*
When they like a monarch they really like them, when they don't it gets bloody real quick lol
A history lesson with a laugh, what a great combination. Love these podcasts. You make subjects that I have mild, or passing interest in fun and fascinating.
Excellent pod cast knew a little bit about the empore of Brazil but nothing this in depth, love it!!!
Yes!!! I have been waiting for you guys to talk about Dom Pedro II. It is of my opinion that he was one of the most intelligent men in history.
Well, other than the sinister Dr Valverde obviously....
Thank you for curing my little sadness at this night :)
God bless you, do not be sad 🙏
@@CL-we8tn Thank you, but I was was because of dumb stuff, just because I need to do a portifólio(I don't know the name in English-I doesn't even knew what it was it before the geography teacher asked to do it) to my geography teacher. And I thought it was difficult but today when I beggin to do it I saw that it isn't, and I probably will finish it tomorrow :D
@@Pedrohnm that's great news, I'm happy for you. 😁
@@CL-we8tn Thank you for willing my best :) I wish you have a large quantity of good and happy times a day in your life too !
Never boring. Ever!
The diamond influence on the Brazilian flag sounds slightly spurious. The diamond design was used on French Imperial military flags from 1804 to 1812 but was then replaced by a tricolour. So, there may have been a stylistic influence but it isn't a reference.
nice one
Loved this. Thank you!
Someone who is banana It is a lighter way of saying that someone is weak or coward. And caju it is because of the size of the head😅
Ok I'll bite, are we doing Argentina? Evita Peron?
Fruits and nuts!!! Hahhaa id rather be a cashew too
Ummm... Pedro II and the staggering slaughters of the Paraguayan War?
D. Pedro II was an intelectual and good person, but not an emperor. The first Pedro with all problems was important on manteining the unity of Brazil
A TRUE SHOW OF IGNORANCE ABOUT BRASIL.
My Brazilian learner was absolutely shattered after the election as she says Lula is terrible for Brazil, stealing money etc. I think Dominic is a bit biased here, chosing Lula over Bolsonaro.
Small correction, Brazil wasn't the only Latin American country to begin as a monarchy. Mexico started as an empire as well, albeit for a much shorter period of time.
Haiti was also an empire for a bit, though it didn't start as one.
I think that in general, if we consider only Brazil for a matter of longevity, both Haiti and Mexico were monarchy, however, what the longevity of them, I mean even after the end of the Empire, the fact of their existence continues to have deep reverberations in Brazil today, both material aspect through institutions, foundations, laws (there are literally laws and institutions created by Pedro I and II that are in the constitution today) and among others, and the immaterial through how it affected social relations in Brazil. In this sense, I believe that, yes, we should consider the monarchy in Brazil something different and more tangible than in Mexico or Haiti, which existed for too little time to have such great effects that could make them inseparable from the idea of the formation of a country, as occurred in Brazil.
What a sweetie!
