Brazilian Independence is unique in the Western Hemisphere in that it was accomplished without a single shot being fired. There is no red in the Brazilian flag, and there was no blood in Brazilian independence. Brazil was also the only enduring monarchy in the Americas. Unlike Spanish America, which quickly fragmented into smaller, independent and largely authoritarian regimes, Brazil remained unified under a constitutional monarchy for 60 years.
