   Today, September 7 is the Brazil's Independence day!

As I'm writing about Brazil, I couldn't say nothing about this day, so here is a bit about the Independence of Brazil.

Independence Day - This is the name for the event "Independence of Brazil." What is this? It is the process that culminated in the political emancipation of the kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, occurred in the early nineteenth century. This date officially celebrated on September 7, 1822, day when the shout was called "Grito do Ipiranga". According to official history, on September 7, 1822 (Independence Day), on the banks of the creek Ipiranga (current city of São Paulo), Prince Regent Dom Pedro wept before his entourage: the so called Independence or Death!.

Certain aspects of this version, however, are disputed by some historians. The history of modern historiography in Brazil can be read in full here, as regards the beginning of the independence process of transfer of the Portuguese court to Brazil (1808-1821) in the Peninsular War, from 1808.
