      ​@@davipenha yeap, it's like the ç, specially since maaaany keyboards and even fonts don't even have the accents available, so many write the words with ç ~ and sometimes ^ without them.
      but to be honest, let me just give my two cents on it, 'cus this just makes my blood boil xD as a brazilian myself -born, and raised here all my life-
      i ,for SURE, don't think most brazilians should be picky or mock Anyone trying to speak another language and pronouncing things wrong, i mean...... most brazilians can't even speak portuguese correctly nor without an accent, and even more of them can't pronounce english -and other foreign- words the correct way -and by 'correct' i mean the Native way, the way they Expect foreigners to pronounce portuguese words, like they are native speakers- and just assume it's said like that because it's engraved in the society, the CLASSIC example being the famous movie ""Titanic"" .... people here including on tv, promos, and absolutely anyone talking about it say ''tchíh- tã- nih-ck" emphasizing every syllable specially the last portion, not "ty- tuh- nick'' emphasizing the middle, or even the tv series Xena the warrior princess? or the game Xenogear? yeap.... both greek based, and people around here --EVEN in big producers/marketing and tv! seriously!- just Roll with the X in the word as it's used in portuguese grammar despite the fact that being greek it sounds like a Z....
      and TRY to speak the correct/native pronounce in a conversation? oh... my....god.... be ready for some Brutal mockery and people saying you sound soooo pretentious or EVEN start arguing that it's just wrong the way YOU are saying it because they've been saying and listening to it being said like that -the 'wrong' way- since they are kids so it IS the correct way.......we even have the word ''abrasileirado'' which is the equivalent to ''americanized'' some use for words that have shifted from it's original one to a more ''portuguese sounding'' way of saying, because people do this -change the way they sound to sound similar to portuguese grammar rules- to so freaking many foreign words and just assume That's the correct pronunciation EVEN when trying to speak the original word in another language, i've heard many specially in school FROM AN ENGLISH TEACHER i mean.... the ONE person you Expect to have an absolutely almost 'native sounding', perfect and NOT broken english since they're Teaching the language itself so they must've studied it........
      so....basically.... no one here can actually criticize too much the way foreign speakers pronounce things ''Wrong'' or with an accent or plainly the way ''they think it's pronounced based on the their own language grammar rules'' while trying to speak portuguese or any other language.....
      sorry for this huge tangent i just had to get it off my chest AHHAHAHA and i think i drank too much coffee '-' i apologize hahahahahaha

      Podia ser muito pior, mesmo a ocupação portuguesa aqui sendo horrível -eu me abro caso alguém queira comentar isso ou discordar- extraindo, estuprando e forçando coisas como a língua e religião nos nativos, mas na história é assim, a gente teoriza mas na real, no fundo, a gente agradece por pelo menos saber que não tá pior, pois eu de fato acho que poderia ser kkk.

    7:25 Dom Pedro I did not lose the war to Argentina, Cisplatina (Uruguay) comprised a very large territory and the Empire of Brazil was left with a large part of it, a large part of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, a small part of the States of Santa Catarina and Paraná, which used to be Cisplantina (Uruguay), became Brazilian territory.
    And the other part, in the extreme south of Cisplatina was already predominantly populated by Spanish speakers, became an independent country that we call Uruguay, but under the influence of the Empire of Brazil.
    For strategy and in order to avoid human, military and financial losses, Dom Pedro gave the territory of Cisplatina to the people of Uruguay and not Argentina, so Argentina did not win any war. The Brazilian Empire's navy (the most powerful in Latin America) could have devastated Buenos Aires, but it was decided that they would not attack so as not to prolong the war and have more losses on both sides.

João himself sent D. Pedro a letter telling him it would be better to do it soon rather than later because things were getting s p i c y back in the Metropole.

    Small correction: the day when D. Pedro I said he'd stay was before the independence happened, though he was probably thinking about it when he decided to stay. He had mostly grown up in Brazil because he was pretty young when the royal family moved to Rio and was fairly popular here. If i remember my History classes correctly, the situation of who'd get the Portuguese throne was a little bit less clear or less immediate, he would've had to wait longer until his father died, and iirc there were other family members there that might be a little bit of trouble, so declaring independence was a guaranteed way to get to some throne as soon as possible. Some people here were worried that he'd just end up claiming the Portuguese crown too after his father died, turning Brazil back into a colony, but that didn't happen. The independence wasn't entirely as heroic as the paintings make it seem, which is kinda common. Brazil had to pay Portugal a lot of money as compensation, I imagine nobody loved the thought of fighting a lot over it.
    Some additions, if anyone wants to learn more:
    About the time the Dutch took over: Before trying to take over, the Dutch were also very involved in all the sugar trading going on at the time through the Dutch West India Company. They would refine it and actually sell it to many different parts of Europe. If i remember correctly, they were also involved in the transatlantic slave trade, I think they had a lot of ships. So they already had a lot of power and money here, which made it easier for them to take over eventually. And when they took over, they didn't technically govern all the areas that "belonged" to the Portuguese, it was mainly in Northeastern Brazil, which was the area with the most development here at that time, but they didn't get Rio, for example.
    And the guy who became governor seemed to be very interested in science and the arts, which he encouraged way more than the Portuguese did. Maybe not among regular poor people, but he got painters and naturalists to come over on expeditions and stuff like that.
    About the Portuguese royal family coming to Rio: Queen Maria didn't really do any governing while the royal family was in Brazil because she was said to not be sane anymore. At some point she ran out of the palace naked. Well, I'm not sure if she was fully naked, it's also possible that she was wearing some clothes that weren't seen as enough at the time, since everyone wore so many layers. People had to call some nuns from a convent that's kind of nearby and wait for them to get there because nobody else was allowed to just go and touch the queen like that to get her back inside.
    About the (very late) end of slavery: England was pretty significant in the process of slavery ending. At some point they went "ok we just realized that slavery is actually bad, so if you wanna be on good terms with us you have to stop it". But unfortunately that wasn't a very popular idea among that many people here, including lots of powerful people. There were certain laws passed to diminish it, at one point it became illegal to enslave more people in Africa to bring them over, if i remember correctly the English threatened to sink ships doing that. It didn't fully end, but it greatly diminished. But the enslaved people here weren't freed, and they still had kids who were not born free. Some time later, there were also laws that tried to free some more people, one that freed anyone who turned 60 and one that freed anyone born from that point on, but in practice they didn't work that well. Most important people here didn't want slavery to end, so it took a while for the band-aid to actually get ripped off, and when it was abolished it was also not that great economically either. There were many people who were against it for moral issues, but that wasn't the only reason why it ended. There's an expression we use here, "para inglês ver", meaning "for [the] English to see", it means you're trying to make something look better to others without actually making changes to improve it. Some people who had "owned" slaves who then got freed got paid compensation, and there was no real attempt that i know of to help the people who were suddenly free but had no money and still faced a lot of prejudice.
    Also, I remember being told that after D. Pedro II got exiled he took a vial of earth from Brazil that he kept under his pillow or something like that.

    Here's an explanation about the Portuguese "R":
    We have 3 different ways of saying R - I'll call them the "Trill" one, the "Throat" one and the "American" one.
    Trill - this is the one you see in Spanish, and it is also the "original" R, used by Portugal and still very alive in some places in Brazil (South and Itailan diaspora in São Paulo). It can be used in any position of a word, so if you only use this type, you will never be wrong.
    Throat - this one is like the French R, or like the letter H in words like "harsh", "horse", etc. A lot of Brazilians use it (Rio, Minas Gerais, all of North and Northeastern regions), and it's probably the most prominent one, currently. It is a "strong R", and that's the one you used to say "Rio de Janeiro". But notice that "eiRo" in Janeiro? That's a "weak R", because it's between 2 vowels. Weak R is ALWAYS pronounced as a Trill, no matter your accent. Therefore, people who use the Throat R also use the Trill when the R shows up between vowels.
    American - that's the Rhotic R, the one you hear in Road, River, etc. It's by far the least standard one, but it is also used by a lot of people (São Paulo and Minas' countrysides, plus Center-West states). It is generally regarded as the "hillbilly R", very rural/suburban. It is, despite its "low intelligence" stereotype, the hardest one to use: It is a "strong R", but it doesn't happen at the beginning of words, neither on double R words (i.e. Carro [car]). That means only a final R or a R before another consonant can have the American pronunciation: Carta. Favor, Amar, Porta.
    So what happens is people who use this kind of R have to use the Trill on a "weak R" (like everyone else) and then either Trill or Throat for the "strong R". Meaning people speaking an accent with the American R can use up to 3 different kinds of R.
    It's all very logical once you learn it (there are no irregularities/exceptions), but from the outside it just looks like a mess.
    Bonus: H is silent in Portuguese. So hipopótamo or helicóptero are read "ipopótamo" and "elicóptero". One fewer sound to worry about. :)

But you're right, some people will hold the trill in word, some will just tap, some will do a mix. Lots of people I know who can do the tap can't do the trill, so there's also that.

    As a historian, I should point out to those interessted in Brazil's history there are numerous mistakes made there, and there's more research going on about it. Anyway, here are a couple fun facts that could change your final interpretation of Brazil's history.
    - the "line" portugal and spain drew over the atlactic sea did not "just happened" to be over a tiny border of Brazil, but Portugal made a complaint about the first line drawn and asked that the distance (from portugal) would be just a tiny bit bigger, and 6 years later (very little time for people that still used horses as cars) they said they owned it.
    - the "I Will Stay" speech is not so much a rebelion against the empire but more like: daddy João VI wrote Pedro I to "declare" independence and it would all be good as long as they were the same empire. So much so, that as soon as Pedro's son become of age, Pedro I went to be king in Portugal. This makes no sense in aristocracy old functionality, you could only become king if daddy died. The deal to """"become independent"""" is more likely Portugal would be watching Latin America take Spain down and become republics of it own people and having Pedro I declare independence would be a great way of staying in power without having to deal with rebellions and people having rights like being able to decide on its government.
    - about Pedro II being a great leader, centered, educataded etc, well, many studies show us today that he was a party boy, was frequently drunk, didnt made very much time for politics and the real leader was his wife, Leopoldina. (whos an interesting woman, should get a video for herself)

Also El is kinda off as the sillable and not nasal enough. I know americans that are fluent in portuguese (Gavin Roy from the channel Small Advantages) and they know it's supposed to be nasal but they overdo it always and it sounds funny. I don't know why but saying "João" correctly is something native english speakers just cannot do unfortunately x)

      For example, you see many people here talking good about Getúlio Vargas, where I and some other liberals consider him the worst of our problems, since his legacy echoes to this day and the urge for authoritarianism here is pretty high. Such thing happens in Argentina, too, with Juan Perón.

      One thing you'll notice throughout most empires in history is that squabbling and power grabs are almost always broken down to be between the centralized rulers, I.E. the monarchs/ruler, and the aristocratic nobility, I.E. the private, wealthy landowning citizens that make up a minority of the population.
      Generally speaking, the latter are only ever happy when the monarch/centralized leader in question are under their collective thumb and being puppeteered by them.
      Good, respectable examples are similar to that of Elon Musk in our society; they use their resources to both live in luxury and better their own land, and by extension their country/society.
      Meanwhile, the centralized leaders, in most cases, are only ever happy when their power is unimpeded. Good, respectable examples will use this uninhibited power wisely, in the interests of their people, and protect them from vicious persecutors, be they foreign or domestic.

      Kinda depressing to remember how we once were a powerful and relevant nation... And now we're only worth of note because of the sheer size of our country. :(

      After taking AP World History, I can guarantee that this is like, the only thing I've learned.
      Why did people trade so much with India? Spices. What was one huge way all the Islamic empires got rich? Spices. Why did North/Western Europe colonize? Spices. Why did Columbus sail the ocean blue? Spices... and to spite the Muslims. But mostly spices.

    A little bit late to comment, but congratulations, great video and great summary.
    Just a curious little fact: On Dom Pedro II time, Brazil was the only monarchy on Latin America, but legend says that when Dom Pedro II was exiled it was said through all Latin America that the last true Latin America republican was leaving it.
    D. Pedro II also revealed several times that if he could have chosen, he would prefer to be a president than an Emperor. The royal family survived here in Brasil. Even though it is 200 years since the country became a Republic there are still the princes and princesses of Brazil and a part of the family heads a small movement of restauration of the monarchy in Brazil. One of the princes is a federal representative by the way.

    Many historians claim that Portugal already knew about the existence of brazilian lands when they stretched the meridian that separated the spanish territory from the portuguese, so now we don't even call it "discovery" of Brazil, we call it the "arrival" of Pedro Álvares Cabral, because actually Duarte Pacheco Pereira "discovered" our country 2 years before Pedro Álvares Cabral.

      Even if they didn't know, Pedro Álvares still wouldn't have "discovered" it since the land was already claimed by natives.

    I'm surprised you didn't mention the Bandeirantes. They were very much the Brazilian equivalent to US Pilgrims, down to the far nastier relationship with native populations than history monuments and books at schools tend to show.
    Also, COFFEE. That was THE biggest commodity in Brazil at the 19th century, and it was to sustain coffee plantations that the Brazilian government, during the slavery ending process, incentived European immigrants to come here (mostly Italians and Germans, who were having issues back in Europe due to their country unification processes). This migration was also related to eugenic efforts to 'whiten' the population, as we had a ton of black people here (and still do, as black and mixed people compose about half the population nowadays).
