The independence was declared on September 7th, 1822, but it wasn’t only a single act of the dissatisfied governor Dom Pedro; it was the result of a set of conflicts that started many years before, such as the separatist movements, like the Inconfidência Mineira and Conjuração Baiana. These were the first movements that contested the Colonial Pact, and they were a reflex of the crisis in the European Old Regime, in a time where the Enlightenment ideas started to make changes in society.
