However, the King
of Portugal remained in Brazil until the Liberal Revolution of 1820, which started in Porto,
demanded his return to Lisbon in 1821.
Thus he returned to Portugal but left his son Pedro in charge of Brazil. When the king
attempted the following year to return the Kingdom of Brazil to subordinate status as a
principality, his son Pedro, with the overwhelming support of the Brazilian elites, declared
Brazil's independence from Portugal. Cisplatina (today's sovereign state of Uruguay), in the
south, was one of the last additions to the territory of Brazil under Portuguese rule.
COLONIAL RESTORATION
At the height of European colonialism in the 19th century, Portugal had already lost its
territory in South America and all but a few bases in Asia. Luanda, Benguela, Bissau,
Lourenço Marques, Porto Amboim and the Island of Mozambique were among the oldest
Portuguese-founded port cities in its African territories
