Editorial annotation
General-reference encyclopedia article, consulted via citation, on King John VI's return to Portugal in February 1821 leaving Pedro as regent of Brazil, and the Portuguese Côrtes' January 1822 demand that Pedro also return, which he refused, precipitating the crisis that led to the September 1822 proclamation of independence.
