napoleons invasion of portugal forced the portuguese ruler to flee to brazil, where he set up a government.
During the Napoleonic Wars, Napoleon's invasion of Portugal in 1807 forced the Portuguese royal family (led by Prince Regent John, later King John VI) to flee to Brazil. They established a government - in - exile in Brazil. This event had several long - term consequences. It led to the opening up of Brazil to international trade (previously, Brazil's trade was highly restricted by Portugal), the growth of Brazilian institutions (such as universities and printing presses), and a shift in the balance of power within the Portuguese Empire. When the Portuguese royal family returned to Portugal in 1821, the Brazilian elites, who had become accustomed to a certain level of autonomy, were reluctant to return to the previous subordinate status. This situation eventually led to Brazil's declaration of independence in 1822.
