Pedro II of Brazil
My good friend Paul, I do really apretiate your colaboration on the article about Emperor Pedro II. Although I have all books that are needed to write a good biography, my English is not very good. However, I would like to adress a few mistakes that you have commited and I would like to ask you to correct them, please:

As the economic position of Brazil worsened, so did that of the Emperor.

The mais reason for Pedro I's abdication was not economic, but instead, his role on the Portuguese crisis and the Liberals desire for provincial autonomy. I do not remember a single historian that has said that Pedro I fell because of economic issues. And one more thing: the article about him is full os mistakes and has no source at all. Please, remove this sentence. I think it does not bring more information for the article.

'on his bed beside him lay his father´s imperial crown, placed there by his father. Pedro I and his wife'

The source does not says that was Pedro I the one who put the crown on the bed. It was probably one of the Palace servants or Mariana de Verna who did it. But the source only says that he woke up with it on top of his bed. It does not says who did it.

Warspite with his father and step-mother on board remained another 13 days before leaving for Europe

This sentence does not make sense. "Warspite with his father and step-mother"? Both were on board the Frigate Warspite. Plus, they left April 13, that is, five days after Pedro I's abdication, and not 13 days after his abdication.

Thank you! - --Lecen (talk) 13:22, 5 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello! Don´t worry about the mistakes. They were far too little when compared to your overall good job! Some authors claim that 1831 was the moment when Brazil really got separated from Portugal. That´s a little incorrect (but hey, it´s my opinion, only!). It could be said that Brazil and Portugal finaly started to walk on separated paths from then on but Brazil was an independente country since 1822. It´s just that in 1831 the history from both countries split forever. About Pedro II, he was, and I think still is, a rare, if not unique case of a monarch who was deposed when his country was passing through a moment of great economical prosperity, had international respect and most important, was deeply beloved by his own people. The monarchy fell in Brazil not because it was an anachronism or because the Brazilians thought that Republic was a better choice, but instead, because neither the Emperor nor any one from his family wanted to continue with the Monarchy. There were other reasons too, I´ll try to adress all of them in the article in due time. I´m putting text to every empty section little by little. It takes too much time! But coming back to Pedro II, he disliked the pomp of the monarchy. To him, a monarch was a simple public servant as anyone else (such as a senator, a police officer, a teacher in a public school, etc...) and that is the reason that there is no photo of him in regalia and rare are the ones with ceremonial uniforms as an adult. He was, we could say, a precursor of the modern parliamentary monarchs: a monarch that wears suit and has no luxury. About Julio Verve´s book I believe you are probably right. I think I read about somewhere, but I am not sure. I am right now working on the text about Pedro II during the War of the Triple Alliance. Would you be interested on improving the text of the article so that we can remove the copy-editing tags? - --Lecen (talk) 10:40, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
