On September 7th we celebrate the Independence Day of Brazil. This date is very important for our country because we are no longer dependent of Portugal.
In the year of 1822 the prince Dom Pedro shouted on the banks of the Ipiranga River "Independence or death" and from that moment Brazil became symbolically independent of Portugal, who only acepted this in 1885.
