The difficult reign of Pedro I:

The first years of Brazilian independence were difficult. The family of Pedro I had neglected his education; and though he was an energetic administrator, he did not know how to calculate balances in political equations very well and governed impulsively, inspiring a great deal of resistance among Brazilians.

During his reign, Brazil conducted a disastrous war against Argentina and lost its province of Cisplatina (later to become Uruguay) in 1825. After an army rebellion that decayed into widespread disorder, Pedro I abdicated in 1831, returned to Portugal, and his five-year-old son, Pedro II, became the second emperor of Brazil after a period of regency.

Political Stability under Pedro II:

The second Brazilian empire lasted almost fifty years and accomplished a great deal. First Pedro II was highly educated in history, science, and languages. His own education inspired in him great concern for education among Brazilians in general. He also had a very calm and rational temperament and was in general a very good man.

After a brief apprenticeship, he learned how to alternate between the two liberal and conservative sectors that competed to control the country (his principal power was to dissolve the government and put the opposing sector into power). During his reign, he changed the government eleven times, and he knew exactly when the time was right to change governments to assure general stability in his country.

In the first years of his reign, Pedro II had to confront the rebellions that he inherited from the regency, made worse by fraudulent elections in 1840 that gave political control over the country to the conservatives.

His government also supported Uruguay and Argentina in a war against Paraguay (1865-1870). Brazilian forces eventually triumphed in the war but at a very high economic cost. This war created a military establishment that became a new nexus of power whose strength Pedro II had to include in his political calculations.

He also maintained good relations with the United States and Europe, reinforced by voyages that he made to both places.
