On September 7, 1822, Prince Pedro of Portugal, heir apparent to the Portuguese throne and the King's representative in Brazil, declared the country's independence from Portugal and proclaimed himself Emperor of Brazil. The imperial title was officially bestowed upon him on October 12, 1822. This resulted in the Brazilian Declaration of Independence. In 1825, his father, King John VI of Portugal, recognized the independence of the new state, the former Portuguese dominion.

Brazil had been officially elevated to the status of United Kingdom (with Portugal) in 1815, in the reign of Queen Maria I of Portugal, by the Prince Regent Dom João (future John VI). Between 1815 and 1822, the kingdom was known officially as United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and Algarves.
