o Brasil não parecia digno de se tornar a sede da monarquia portuguesa. Era preciso mudar o estado das coisas, e rápido. Afinal, o príncipe regente tinha chegado para ficar, não tinha a menor idéia de quando poderia voltar à Europa. Suas prioridades ao pisar na colônia só poderiam ser as óbvias: criar condições de vida para a corte e mecanismos que permitissem governar todo o império a partir de sua nova capital, o Rio de Janeiro.

For thirteen years, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, functioned as the capital of the Kingdom of Portugal in what some historians call a metropolitan reversal (i.e., a colony exercising governance over the entirety of an empire). The period in which the court was located in Rio brought significant changes to the city and its residents, and can be interpreted through several perspectives.

Brazilian politics were initiated and affected, society and demographics were altered, the economy developed, and the city of Rio de Janeiro physically changed.

The stability and prosperity of the Brazilian state, resulting from the royal court's presence, allowed for it to declare independence from Portugal without the violence and destabilization characteristic of similar movements in neighboring countries
