You should make an alternate history series based around alternate history hub’s doggerland what if and talk about possibly kingdoms,cultures,religions and most importantly wars
Fun fact: when the portuguese royal family arrived in Brazil, the women hid their bald heads with turbans and unintentionally started a fashion craze among middle and upper classes in Brazil.
Fun fact: when Prince John started to seize buildings for his court and throwing its original inhabitants out his staff would place a sign on the doors written "PR" standing for Príncipe Regente (Regent Prince). However, Brazilians back then would say that the letters stood for "Ponha-se na Rua" (get out) or "Prédio Roubado" (stolen property).
@@PedroHCF37 although those were the literal translations I absolutely agree with you 🤣. And honestly they're much more in-spirit with the general Brazilian vibe 😁
I'm not even Brazilian but same here. I hope they get to Pedro's I & II a.k.a Dom Pedro de Alcântara Francisco António João Carlos Xavier de Paula Miguel Rafael Joaquim José Gonzaga Pascoal Cipriano Serafim and Dom Pedro de Alcântara João Carlos Leopoldo Salvador Bibiano Francisco Xavier de Paula Leocádio Miguel Gabriel Rafael Gonzaga, respectively.(What is up with Spanish and Portuguese names? Seriously! lol)
Brasileiros menos barulho desnecessário por favor. Não precisam surtar por qualquer coisa sobre o Brasil online pq isso realmente causa aversão e tanta estranheza que no lugar dos estrangeiros se interessarem pelo nosso país, essa atitude primitiva e burra de ficar inundando os vídeos estrangeiros sobre o Brasil com a nossa presença saturada nos comentários, acaba é fazendo o mundo ver os brasileiros como gente irritante e carente de atenção. Então parem de vir encher comentários desnecessário e de marcar presença que isso mais prejudica a nossa imagem que ajuda. É horrível como tem brs sempre causando tanto barulho em qualquer vídeo que tem Brasil no título, povo sem noção que não sabe como isso mancha a gente.
@@saintpinewood562 Muito pelo contrário, os canais já descobriram que fazer vídeos com Brasil, Índia, Filipinas e Indonésia tem o mesmo resultado: Uma explosão de views, engajamento, comentários, likes oque é igual a dinheiro pra eles. Br vindo aqui agradecer não é nada chato para os criadores do conteúdo, se tivéssemos aqui xingando e etc ai sim, mas não é esse o caso.
Very excited for this series! I remember learning in school that the lice outbreak which you guys mentioned led many women in the royal court to arrive wearing headscarves, and upon seeing this, local women began wearing similar headscarves in an attempt to emulate the high "fashion" of the royalty. This fashion trend endures to this day, particularly in the Northeast.
I hope you can cover Lei Áurea. The ending of slavery in Brazil is extremely important given that nearly half of the enslaved Africans brought into the Americas went to Brazil.
Into america* , the word i has always been used for the continent in general , not for the country , wich as best is an erroneous habit of convinience in english.
@@cseijifja as far as i'm aware, most places now consider North and South America to be separate continents, which is the reason for the pluralization, though central and south america seem to be the notable exception. Of course, this is likely because american control of the panama canal has forced people into making this distinction, but regardless, this is now the default linguistic device in english to describe the continents. "America" as a singular term for the continent is now largely considered archaic outside of the continents themselves. Whether this is fair or not is opinion, but "the americas" is now considered the correct term.
The bit about Brazilians pretending to renovate their houses indefinitely to avoid being exploited by Portuguese aristocrats perfectly sums up the Brazilian essence, hue.
And the evictions created a joke among Rio residents. The way one was informed their house was being apprehended for a Portuguese aristocrat was an inscription carved on their door that said P.R., meaning Prince Regent. The joke went that the letters meant “ponha-se na rua”, “put yourself on the street”.
The portuguese monarchy did the equivalent of building a second Town Center on Age of Empires when you see that your original one will soon be destroyed by the enemy.
@@coolsceegaming6178 Sometimes i wonder what was the Portuguese court thinking. Their King ideal to fled to Brazil and establish another country over sea is a best ideal. Considering Europe political turmoil and Napoleon guys show up at your doorstep then the aftermath. Considering Brazil was bigger than Portugal and had many new opportunity. Sure it will be a hard momentum task for building a wew country, but hey at least it big and safe across the sea from any European trouble. Like the USA .
I usually watch the series when it's finished, but I had to come see this one. It's famously recounted that Napoleon once said that João VI was the only one who has fooled him.
@@MarcoAurelio-vv3gz He was in a no win situation and he chose what was probably the best option. By leaving the country he avoided the fate of the Spanish Monarchs thus allowing Brazil’s independence to be way less bloody than its Spanish speaking neighbors.
Fun fact: the event displayed in the intro has originated a popular saying “Resvés, Campo de Ourique”, which you use when you barely avoided/escaped something. This is because General Junot himself saw the royal ship on the horizon, just away enough from him that he couldn’t get them. Also, thank you for FINALLY making a video that is much much more involved in Portuguese history. I waited for so long Edit: one of the replies pointed out it’s actually “ficaram a ver navios”, not “Resvés, campo de Ourique” (which is about the Lisbon earthquake). Thank you, Duck 0351
"Resves, Campo de Ourique" is a reference to the lisbon earthquake. because the Campo de Ourique region was not affected by the earthquake. The expression you're referring to is "ficaram a ver navios", wich means "watching ships".
Sure, but don't forget Thomas Cochrane, the madman who lead several south American countries navies. He was one of those few interesting weirdos that changed history and would have made even Mad Jack Churchill think he was insane. There are really a lot of interesting characters figuring in the history of Brazil. :)
@@cassianoneto1553 To be honest what was the Portuguese court thinking i do not know. It a new country big with new opportunity and more maritime trade ( if they manage some how to get the west side too which is Peru) . Literally a new Empire for them,safe across the sea without fearing got involve in any European trouble. It literally will be like the USA.
Ugh, if just his descendants didn't try to stoke the pro-monarchic movement in Brazil. They are snooty rich no-bodies who live in Portugal and believe they should be put back in charge of Brazil. Which is par-de-course for most ex-nobility. Problem is they actually have a following among Brazilians who in turn are one of the many sources of fake-news in our country.
Ok, I was expecting less of this series, with mistakes and pitfalls that foreign media do. But I'm glad to see that you are really comited with quality, I hope you keep up the fantastic work! :)
As a Brazilian, this is truly one of the BEST videos I've ever seen (in english, portuguese or spanish) about this time period. Really, amazing level of detail. But in truth only thing I can say is, as the meme goes... FINALLY THEY CAME TO BRAZIL!!!!

I’ve been waiting for this since the Simon Bolívar episode. One can’t really have covered the South American independence process without going in depth about Brazil, literally half the continent.
As a born and bred carioca (person born in Rio de Janeiro) and studying in one of the few universities that precedes the Royal Escape from Portugal, I'm super happy to see Extra credits talking about our history, especially of the Empire since I love the 19th and early 20th centuries
watching one of these videos on a topic i was taught a lot about in school shows how much compressing you have to do and how much isn't said on other episodes
Oh boy this is such a fun period to explore. Glad you guys are finally doing an episode on it! It needs to be known by more people outside of Brazil and Portugal!
YESS! I am so happy that y'all are talking about the empire of brazil! by far the most overlooked empire in my opinion! It's such an interesting story that nobody big has told! (that i know of!) Looking forward to this series!!!! Thank you so much for the latino rep!!!! THiS IS AWESOME!!!!!
This is a series I never knew I needed to see! Super excited for this, as the Brazillian Empire is quite interesting as far as empires go in how it was established.
Looking forward to this series. John VI was the first european king to set foot in the Americas. This would create the country of Brazil but also paved the way to create the version of Portugal that we know today.

Napoleão deveria ter planos bem ruins para os monarcas Portugueses né? Porque haja coragem pra levar a família toda (que sempre foi rica e mimada) pra atravessar o Atlântico por dias, com comida limitada, um monte de doença, sem sistema de esgoto, todo mundo fedendo, com perigo dos barcos serem atacados e afundarem etc. Pra dai chegar num lugar precário, com mais doenças ainda (mosquitos tropicais etc), sem local pra morar, sem nenhuma infraestrutura que eles estavam acostumados. Acho que o Brasil talvez estaria ainda pior hoje em dia se essa família real não tivesse vindo pra cá. E será que estaríamos melhor se eles tivessem ficado aqui e hoje o Brasil fosse ainda o centro de governo portugues e Portugal fosse tipo oque a Guiana Francesa é para a França hoje?
@@FallenLight0 Ya o Brasil provavelmente estaria melhor se tivesse ficado com Portugal mas só se fosse como um reino unido que era na altura e não como uma colonia que era o que o parlamento português queria que fosse.
Aaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeee porrrraaaaaa. I am so fucking happy. This is the best moment of my week. BRAZIL GOT A SERIES ON THIS AWESOME CHANNEL. Vai Brasilllllllll
Beautiful 🤩 video. I have been waiting for years for an episode on Brazil 🇧🇷. As a Brazilian I can definitely say thank you for covering the history of our country. It is very interesting and I believe that the world should know about it.
I absolutely love all the videos and keep up the good work!! I love the history of the Portuguese Empire and believe that you should do a video on the it. Love the videos!!!
If they cover all the history of the Brazilian Empire in this series, they will also say something about the War of the Triple Alliance, the most destructive war in the South American history.
Can’t wait for them to talk about Dom Pedro II, not only was he arguably one of histories greatest emperors, but a man of great learning and a man who truly cared for his people, not to mention he abolished slavery alongside his daughter in a time when few Brazilians were opposed to the institution.
In addition to that, as of this date, his memory and legacy is still remembered in Brazil. For some - me included - there is the opinion that he was the best governor/ruler of Brazil of all time. (Disclaimer: I am not a monarquist). In a Brazillian version of '100 greatest briton' - but for brazillians, ofc - he ranked 30th. In a nation that lacks good education, they still remembered what he did and his importance.
D. Pedro I is my all time favourite, i am aware of the long life and achievements of Pedro II (I am portuguese), but in my opinion the life of Pedro I is the most astonishing. How can someone from great priveledge, stay in Brazil and fight for their independence and then leave and fight in the muddy trenches in Portugal where he got tuberculosis that ultimatly killed him. He wrote to brazilian claiming his blood was the same as the slaves , when asking for the freedom of these. Royalty of the time wouldnt compare themselves to that in any effect. He was the liberator of 2 countries, and one of those that against self interest fought for the freedom of everyone everywhere he went.
Greetings from Rio. I'm so pumped to this series!!! Also a fun fact, my old middle school used to work on a building that used to be one of the summer houses of the imperial family, and to this day the building is almost entirely preserved as it was over 150 years ago. Also can't wait for when they get to Dom Pedro II, it's gonna be great.
"We are about to lose our country to Napoleon." "Fortunately we have a whole other country across the sea we can move to, and Napoleon is not so good on oceans."
Hey! Just here to say "Hello!" and "Olá!" to you and to congratulate you for talking about my dear old Portugal - from a long-time portuguese fan - and a bit of it's history (outside of the Discovery Age and after it's peak, I mean). I hope it will be a great journey, as always, about the building of the nation of Brasil!
Finally something about my country. I'm so.happy to see something so amazing made by you guys and gals. Thank you so much, it's really nice to see Brazil represented in an international spotlight
4:33 king John: The situation has gotten out of our control. It is time to enact our all purpose contingency plan! Random aide: Plan B? John: Yes. PLAN B!
Funny story about the exile of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil-On the voyage, the court ladies didn't have enough fresh water to wash their hair, so they cut their hair short. When they arrived in Rio, Brazilian women saw all of the court women with short hair and assumed that was the latest fashion in Europe, so they cut their hair short to match.
The story of Brazil is so rich and interesting, filled with conflict, political intrigue and mystery, but so few people know about it. Even here in Brazil, there are lots of people that don’t have a clue about who was D. Pedro I. Thank you for this video and making my country history known around the world.
WOOOOOOWWWW Thanks Extra Credit for the episode on Brazil!!!! I am no history expert but from what I know of the history I would like to tell a few inputs: 1) Spain didn't change sides, it was actually conquered - or at least, a good portion of it was. However, even the conquered part never settled for Napoleon's government - or his brother, which was put in place as the King. So, in various part there was resistance and also militia groups of populars and soldiers that occasionaly revolted against the French occupation. 2) The balance was true.But not only economically. There is a feeling that part of the fame of D. João 6º as a weak king is because he was seen as coward and easily frighten. No official record ever stated that England would invade or care for Portugal if it settled with France. However, the fear that England could invade the country, bomb its capital, Lisboa and take João out of power, was also counterweighted by a fear of Napoleon coming towards Portugal by land AND doing the same thing. Thus the balance in the end was to avoid his own ass tobe caught as a collateral damage of the war. 3) I wouldn't say Brazil - nor Portugal, for historical accuracy sake - lost French Guiana. France was the first european nation to come to the region and start colonization. For a very brief period of time, Portugal took advantage of a weak guard of the region and took it over. However, it gave back after the Paris Treaty. Although, it was never considered Brazillian territory originally . Also, such attempts of taking colonized territories was a common practice at the time. Brazil itself had a dutch and 2 french brief occupations as well. 4) A small correction here. Yes, the biggest important act of the imperial family in Brazil was the break of the "colonial pact" - Brazil could only trade to and from Portugal prior the arrival of D. João VI. It is even stated that part of Braziliian's independance started here. However, Brazil couldn't still trade with whoever it wanted. The pact was substituted by an act called "Abertura dos Portos às Nações Amigas " - Opening of Ports to Friendly Nations. Which was intended to allow for Brazillian trade with any friendly nation of Portugal. Since the only nation friendly of Portugal was England, it was basically a liberation of trade with England as well. Also, this episode understate the importance of D. João acts in Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. In order to mantein Brazil poor, undeveloped and dependant of Portugal, certain types of Business wasn't allowed in Brazil. Not only universities, but Mills or any factory for that matter, as well as independent press wasn't allowed at the time. With D. João, this changed. And transformed Brazil as never before. Also, a tip for next episode: There is a Brazillian expression called "law for the british to see" - Lei pra Inglês ver" which was derived from this slavery episode with England. As well, the comeback from slavery policies to its original intent is somewhat funny: Basically, it was put in place to allow the portuguese to easily deal with England and better govern Brazil. But the reality...

So lice-ridden noblewomen were the reason Carmen Miranda dressed up her head the way she did?
@@ilovemuslimfood666 No. Carmen Miranda's costume is inspired by the turbans worn by candomblé and umbanda practitioners.

However, Brazilians back then would say that the letters stood for "Ponha-se na Rua" (get out) or "Prédio Roubado" (stolen property).

Interessante que alguém se lembrou desse detalhe.
Sim, mas aquela reação descrita ao chegar no Rio se não me engano é um acontecimento registrado e que ficou "marcado" durante a chegada.
Napoleão deveria ter planos bem ruins para os monarcas Portugueses né? Porque haja coragem pra levar a família toda (que sempre foi rica e mimada) pra atravessar o Atlântico por dias, com comida limitada, um monte de doença, sem sistema de esgoto, todo mundo fedendo, com perigo dos barcos serem atacados e afundarem etc. Pra dai chegar num lugar precário, com mais doenças ainda (mosquitos tropicais etc), sem local pra morar, sem nenhuma infraestrutura que eles estavam acostumados.
Acho que o Brasil talvez estaria ainda pior hoje em dia se essa família real não tivesse vindo pra cá.
E será que estaríamos melhor se eles tivessem ficado aqui e hoje o Brasil fosse ainda o centro de governo portugues e Portugal fosse tipo oque a Guiana Francesa é para a França hoje?
@@FallenLight0 Ya o Brasil provavelmente estaria melhor se tivesse ficado com Portugal mas só se fosse como um reino unido que era na altura e não como uma colonia que era o que o parlamento português queria que fosse.
@@ricardogomes3820 Sim, me refiro a essa situação do Brasil sendo a capital do Reino como foi durante uns anos.
This was fascinating. Can't wait for next week! Also, 1:10 Well done with the Seinfeld reference
And 3:34 with the Futurama reference😆😆
Aaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeee porrrraaaaaa. I am so fucking happy. This is the best moment of my week. BRAZIL GOT A SERIES ON THIS AWESOME CHANNEL. Vai Brasilllllllll
Beautiful 🤩 video. I have been waiting for years for an episode on Brazil 🇧🇷. As a Brazilian I can definitely say thank you for covering the history of our country. It is very interesting and I believe that the world should know about it.
As a Brazilian i feel SO PROUD to have our history (wacky it might be) showed to the rest of the of the World.
Thanks EC :)
Wow I'm really excited for this one!
I am a long time viewer and I really like what you guys are doing keep up the good work
I absolutely love all the videos and keep up the good work!! I love the history of the Portuguese Empire and believe that you should do a video on the it. Love the videos!!!
Looking forward to this series! Great to see some spotlight on South America.
If they cover all the history of the Brazilian Empire in this series, they will also say something about the War of the Triple Alliance, the most destructive war in the South American history.
I've waited sooo long for you guys to make a video about Brazil. Now you're making a whole series! So exciting!
yoooooooooooooooooooooooo, Pedro ll is my most favorite monarch of all time so I can't wait
Thank you so much for making this series! My and my Brazilian partner are enjoying it already!
Oh crud, a series on the Brazilian Empire? Nice, I always wanted to learn more about that.
I've been waiting for this for a long time.
Can’t wait for them to talk about Dom Pedro II, not only was he arguably one of histories greatest emperors, but a man of great learning and a man who truly cared for his people, not to mention he abolished slavery alongside his daughter in a time when few Brazilians were opposed to the institution.
In addition to that, as of this date, his memory and legacy is still remembered in Brazil. For some - me included - there is the opinion that he was the best governor/ruler of Brazil of all time. (Disclaimer: I am not a monarquist). In a Brazillian version of '100 greatest briton' - but for brazillians, ofc - he ranked 30th. In a nation that lacks good education, they still remembered what he did and his importance.
D. Pedro I is my all time favourite, i am aware of the long life and achievements of Pedro II (I am portuguese), but in my opinion the life of Pedro I is the most astonishing. How can someone from great priveledge, stay in Brazil and fight for their independence and then leave and fight in the muddy trenches in Portugal where he got tuberculosis that ultimatly killed him. He wrote to brazilian claiming his blood was the same as the slaves , when asking for the freedom of these. Royalty of the time wouldnt compare themselves to that in any effect.
He was the liberator of 2 countries, and one of those that against self interest fought for the freedom of everyone everywhere he went.
I am very proud to see that Brazilian true story on this Channel. The world need to know more about the Empire of Brazil and its development.
Desenvolvimento que deu tanto poder as elites que elas derrubaram o imperador kkkkkkkk
Empire of Brazil is underrated. All of its two emperor are good ruler and the ending of the empire is the biggest tragedy in Brazilian history.
Great video, one of the best. Especially liked the illustrations this time. Looking forward to the rest of this story!!
Clarice Lispector noted that "At the very least, they managed to bring over a little glamour."
great to see you guys talking about my country!! love from brazil!
Me a casual Kaiserreich fan:
Looks like Portugal is going to reclaim the Birthright
Ah yes... The United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves walkthrough...
The intro was amazing, you can really see how extra credits evolved over the years.
And at 6:23 we can see the origin of the proud Brazilian tradition of never ending house renovations.
Greetings from Rio. I'm so pumped to this series!!! Also a fun fact, my old middle school used to work on a building that used to be one of the summer houses of the imperial family, and to this day the building is almost entirely preserved as it was over 150 years ago. Also can't wait for when they get to Dom Pedro II, it's gonna be great.
Extra history finally came to brazil
0:04- The ships were only be able to leave on November 29th, not the 27th or the 30th. It also happens to be my birthday on the 29th
"We are about to lose our country to Napoleon."
"Fortunately we have a whole other country across the sea we can move to, and Napoleon is not so good on oceans."
4:08 Whoever wrote Dun, Dun , DUN Deserves an oscar, and a play button
As a Brazilian who's interested in my country's history, thank you for starting this series.
I have been waiting for a Brazil focused series for like 6 years since i've started watching you guys. I'm so Stoked !!
You should cover Agustin I of Iturbide next! It'd be fascinating to learn more about Mexican Independence!
Yeah that would be very interesting
Hey! Just here to say "Hello!" and "Olá!" to you and to congratulate you for talking about my dear old Portugal - from a long-time portuguese fan - and a bit of it's history (outside of the Discovery Age and after it's peak, I mean). I hope it will be a great journey, as always, about the building of the nation of Brasil!
Ladies and gentlemen, they went to Brazil
Finally extra history takes a moment to recognize my country
Oooooh boy!!!!! I am so happy!! The GREATEST Emperor since Marcus Aurelius is about to apear in extra history!
Finally something about my country. I'm so.happy to see something so amazing made by you guys and gals. Thank you so much, it's really nice to see Brazil represented in an international spotlight
God I love Latin American history, and now one of my favorite channels is making a series on Brazil? I might shed a small tear
As a Brazilian I learned more about the Brazilian History here than school
I'll enjoy this series. Can't wait to see Pedro II.
4:33 king John: The situation has gotten out of our control. It is time to enact our all purpose contingency plan!
Random aide: Plan B?
John: Yes. PLAN B!
It's so nice to see a channel like yours covering Brazil's history. Great video!
Funny story about the exile of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil-On the voyage, the court ladies didn't have enough fresh water to wash their hair, so they cut their hair short. When they arrived in Rio, Brazilian women saw all of the court women with short hair and assumed that was the latest fashion in Europe, so they cut their hair short to match.
Are we talking about the Brazilian landing strip?
The story of Brazil is so rich and interesting, filled with conflict, political intrigue and mystery, but so few people know about it. Even here in Brazil, there are lots of people that don’t have a clue about who was D. Pedro I. Thank you for this video and making my country history known around the world.
WOOOOOOWWWW Thanks Extra Credit for the episode on Brazil!!!! I am no history expert but from what I know of the history I would like to tell a few inputs:
1) Spain didn't change sides, it was actually conquered - or at least, a good portion of it was. However, even the conquered part never settled for Napoleon's government - or his brother, which was put in place as the King. So, in various part there was resistance and also militia groups of populars and soldiers that occasionaly revolted against the French occupation.
2) The balance was true.But not only economically. There is a feeling that part of the fame of D. João 6º as a weak king is because he was seen as coward and easily frighten. No official record ever stated that England would invade or care for Portugal if it settled with France. However, the fear that England could invade the country, bomb its capital, Lisboa and take João out of power, was also counterweighted by a fear of Napoleon coming towards Portugal by land AND doing the same thing. Thus the balance in the end was to avoid his own ass tobe caught as a collateral damage of the war.
3) I wouldn't say Brazil - nor Portugal, for historical accuracy sake - lost French Guiana. France was the first european nation to come to the region and start colonization. For a very brief period of time, Portugal took advantage of a weak guard of the region and took it over. However, it gave back after the Paris Treaty. Although, it was never considered Brazillian territory originally . Also, such attempts of taking colonized territories was a common practice at the time. Brazil itself had a dutch and 2 french brief occupations as well.
4) A small correction here. Yes, the biggest important act of the imperial family in Brazil was the break of the "colonial pact" - Brazil could only trade to and from Portugal prior the arrival of D. João VI. It is even stated that part of Braziliian's independance started here. However, Brazil couldn't still trade with whoever it wanted. The pact was substituted by an act called "Abertura dos Portos às Nações Amigas " - Opening of Ports to Friendly Nations. Which was intended to allow for Brazillian trade with any friendly nation of Portugal. Since the only nation friendly of Portugal was England, it was basically a liberation of trade with England as well.
Also, this episode understate the importance of D. João acts in Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. In order to mantein Brazil poor, undeveloped and dependant of Portugal, certain types of Business wasn't allowed in Brazil. Not only universities, but Mills or any factory for that matter, as well as independent press wasn't allowed at the time. With D. João, this changed. And transformed Brazil as never before.
Also, a tip for next episode: There is a Brazillian expression called "law for the british to see" - Lei pra Inglês ver" which was derived from this slavery episode with England. As well, the comeback from slavery policies to its original intent is somewhat funny: Basically, it was put in place to allow the portuguese to easily deal with England and better govern Brazil. But the reality...
been waiting for this for years
