Brazil's Independence Day

Brazil is that the largest country in South America. It wont to be a Portuguese colony. As a matter of fact, during the time that Napoleon was taking up European countries right and left, the Portuguese king (Dom Joao VI) came to Brazil to measure for several decades – then Brazil was the seat of the whole Portuguese Empire.

Independence War

Well, Brazilians were wont to being the hub of the empire! They couldn't return to being just a lowly colony! They said no, and Pedro backed them and declared Brazil independent on today in 1822.

A mighty river...

The largest river within the world, the Amazon, flows through much of Brazil.

You're probably thinking, wait, i assumed the Nile was the most important river within the world!

The Nile is that the longest river, for sure. In length, the Amazon is merely second within the world. But the “largest” river is that the river with the most important waterflow. Not only is Amazon tops there, it's larger than subsequent SEVEN RIVERS COMBINED!

Wow!

The area through which the Amazon flows, the Amazon Rainforest, is taken into account to possess the foremost diversity of living things within the world. (That means the foremost different species of plants and animals and fungi and stuff.)

Independence Day may be a legal holiday marked by patriotic displays and military parades in most Brazilian cities.

In Brasília, the national celebration takes place at the Ministries Esplanade with a civil-military parade within the presence of the President of Brazil, who is Commander in Chief of the soldiers . Around 30,000 people attend the event annually , which costs about a million reais. Similar military and civil parades are held altogether the state capitals, and in many major cities throughout the country.

The national commemorations are broadcast on cable channel TV NBR and public television station TV Brasil. In 2016, in honor of that year's Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympic Games, portions of that city's parade were aired on the channel. Until 1959 all national parades were held there because it was the previous capital city. By 2017 TV NBR also began broadcasting snippets of the Sao Paulo parade, as long as the town is that the birthplace of the independent country.
