Message:: [QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 2339799, member: 25270"]According to the book, Brazil was kind of keeping Portugal afloat at the time so it might have made sense to make it the center of the empire. The Portuguese accomplished a lot for a country and population that size, and it's a shame it has been forgotten. I was reading up a bit on the end of the monarchy today. The last Portuguese king was overthrown in a coup in 1910 and died without children in exile. He seems to have taken his overthrown pretty well. The last Brazilian king was overthrown in 1889 by a small group. Apparently he was actually very popular and considered a good emperor. He was missed once he was gone. I'd like to find a book about him and learn more.[/QUOTE]
