BRAZIL'S INDEPENDENCE
September 7th is one of the most IMPORTANT commemorative DATES in Brazil, precisely
BECAUSE it hosts one of the main events in our HISTORY: our independence. It was on that day,
in 1822, that d. Pedro started our JOURNEY as an independent NATION. Currently, September
7th is a NATIONAL holiday that is marked by PUBLIC celebrations in large CITIES.
Brazil's INDEPENDENCE took PLACE on SEPTEMBER 7, 1822, when, supposedly, d. Pedro (future
D. Pedro I) proclaimed the cry of independence on the banks of the Ipiranga RIVER, in the
CURRENT city of São Paulo. With that, Brazil broke its CONNECTION with Portugal and
connsolidated itself as an independent nation.
