It's interesting that you mention both Brazil and the Napoleonic Wars, since the bicentennial of the Royal Family's escape to Brazil is the talk of the moment over here. I visited several bookstores this week, and they all had walls covered with various books on the subject. But yeah, since the history of Brazil is intertwined with ours it's logical that you were given some information about us. We have a very rich history, definitely. From Celtic rebels that fought the Romans to Arabian poets, murdered women that were crowned after their death, and even bakers known for killing Spanish soldiers with their baking shovels... Our historical facts rival many legends in terms of uncanny events.
