  • The legacy of Pedro II of Brazil became apparent soon after his death. Emperor Pedro II was the second and last monarch of the Empire of Brazil, whose long 58-year reign (1831–1889) represented a time of remarkable prosperity and progress for his country. Despite his achievements, he was deposed in a coup by disgruntled republicans, though there was no desire for a change in the form of government among the majority of the Brazilian people. His popularity among the citizenry had never waned, and support continued to be evident, even on the eve of his overthrow and throughout his exile. He was seen as a hero, a model citizen, a caring monarch, and the source of national unity and well-being. Following his death, political wrangling prevented the return of his remains to Brazil. Continued efforts to repatriate the bodies of the Emperor and his wife dragged on for decades. The disputes were resolved and this was finally accomplished in 1920 with much fanfare. Over the decades, Pedro II gradually grew within Brazil to represent the archetypical benevolent, self-effacing and effective ruler concerned only for the national welfare. Aside from the prosperity and modernization Pedro II left to the nation, there was also a heritage of political and personal values. Many of his reforms and achievements had become so much a part of the national consciousness that they were accommodated by successor regimes. These formed the foundation for Brazilian democratic ideals. Historians have also largely agreed that Pedro II's reign was not merely benign, but rather, exceptionally constructive and progressive. He has also consistently been ranked by scholars as the greatest Brazilian. (en)
  • O legado de Pedro II do Brasil começou a ficar aparente logo depois de sua morte em 1891. Pedro foi o segundo e último monarca do Império do Brasil, cujo reinado de 58 anos de duração entre 1831 e 1889 representou uma época de grande prosperidade e progresso para o país. Apesar de suas realizações, ele foi deposto em um golpe de estado organizado por republicanos insatisfeitos com o regime imperial, a despeito da inexistência, na época, de desejo por parte da população brasileira de alterar a forma de governo. Sua popularidade entre os cidadãos nunca desapareceu e o apoio destes continuou a ser evidente, mesmo nas vésperas de sua deposição e durante seu período de exílio. Pedro era visto como herói, um modelo de cidadão, um monarca carinhoso e a fonte da unidade e bem-estar nacional. Disputas políticas após sua morte impediram que seus restos voltassem para o Brasil, com os esforços para repatriar seu corpo e o de sua esposa, a imperatriz Teresa Cristina das Duas Sicílias, arrastando-se por décadas. As disputas foram resolvidas no final da década de 1910 e os dois voltaram para o país em 1921 em meio a grandes celebrações. Pedro cresceu gradualmente dentro do Brasil ao longo das décadas para vir a representar o arquetípico governante benevolente, modesto e eficiente que se preocupava apenas com o bem-estar de seu país. Além da prosperidade e modernização que Pedro deixou ao Brasil, também houve um legado de valores políticos e pessoais. Muitas de suas reformas e realizações tornaram-se tão arraigadas na consciência nacional que acabaram sendo acomodadas e adotadas pelos regimes republicanos que se sucederam. Estas formaram a fundação dos ideais democráticos brasileiros. Historiadores amplamente concordam que o reinado de Pedro foi excepcionalmente construtivo e progressista, não apenas benigno. Ele também tem sido consistentemente considerado por acadêmicos como o maior brasileiro da história. (pt)
