Brazil - Independence Day
The national holiday Independence Day is observed annually in Brazil on September 7. This holiday was officially established in 1949 to celebrate the date, when Brazil declared its independence from the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves.
Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Portugal in 1808 as the result of the country's refusal to participate in the trade embargo against the United Kingdom. The Portuguese monarch moved the Court from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, the capital of then-Colonial Brazil. In 1815 the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves was created.
