Description
The Braganzas: The Rise and Fall of the Ruling Dynasties of Portugal and Brazil, 1640-1910 For nearly three centuries, the House of Braganza played a pivotal role in shaping the history of Portugal and Brazil. This influential family helped establish Portuguese independence from Spain and saved the monarchy from destruction by Napoleon's armies. The Braganzas also ruled the vast empire of Brazil, creating a unified nation and preventing it from fragmenting into smaller states. Malyn Newitt's fascinating book explores the rise and fall of the Braganza dynasty, introducing readers to a colorful cast of innovators, revolutionaries, and leaders. From the absolutist Dom Miguel to the "Soldier King" Dom Pedro I, Newitt recounts the major social, economic, and political events that defined the Braganza rule. Featuring an extensive selection of artworks and photographs, this book offers a timely look at the history of Portugal and Brazil. With its extensive selection of images and engaging narrative, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the Braganza dynasty and its enduring impact on the region.
