Night Of The Bottle Fight
The Night of the Bottle Fight was an incident that took place in the Empire of Brazil in 1831.

It was one of the main events from the period that immediately preceded the monarch's abdication (in April 1831). History The ''Night of the Bottle Fight'' involved a riot that occurred in opposition to Pedro I (then emperor of Brazil). In 1830, prior to the Night of the Bottle Fight, Líbero Badaró, a liberal journalist, was assassinated in São Paulo for denouncing Pedro I's policies.

Empire Of Brazil
The Empire of Brazil was a 19th-century state that broadly comprised the territories which form modern Brazil and (until 1828) Uruguay. Its government was a representative parliamentary constitutional monarchy under the rule of Emperors Dom Pedro I and his son Dom Pedro II. A colony of the Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil became the seat of the Portuguese colonial Empire in 1808, when the Portuguese Prince regent, later King Dom John VI, fled from Napoleon's invasion of Portugal and established himself and his government in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. John VI later returned to Portugal, leaving his eldest son and heir-apparent, Pedro, to rule the Kingdom of Brazil as regent. On 7 September 1822, Pedro declared the independence of Brazil and, after waging a successful war against his father's kingdom, was acclaimed on 12 October as Pedro I, the first Emperor of Brazil. The new country was huge, sparsely populated and ethnically diverse. The only ot ...

Portuguese People
The Portuguese people () are a Romance nation and ethnic group indigenous to Portugal who share a common culture, ancestry and language.

A small number of male lineages descend from Germanic tribes who arrived after the Roman period as ruling elites, including the Suebi, Buri, Hasdingi Vandals, Visigoths with the highest incidence occurring in northern and central Portugal.

The abdication of emperor Pedro I of Brazil took place on 7 April 1831 in favor of his son Pedro de Alcântara, future emperor Pedro II. The act marked the end of the so-called First Reign and the beginning of the regency period in Brazil. Background The political structure that came to be as a result of the independence of Brazil led to a political system that placed the municipalities dependent on the provinces and these on the central power; it also resulted in "a system of indirect elections based on qualified (census) voting, excluding most of the population from the electoral process. They eagerly disputed titles of nobility and monopolized positions in the Chamber, Senate, Council of State and Ministries". This "Council of State" implemented the Moderating Power instituted by emperor Pedro I, when he dissolved the Constituent Assembly: formed by lifetime members, appointed by the monarch, no more than ten in number, their function was to be heard "in all serious matters ...
