The Portuguese officially arrived in Brazil on April 22 , 1500 and based on the Treaty Of Tordesilhas , it became a possession of Portugal. The Kings of Portugal then were the Monarchs ''in'' Brazil until the invading army of Napoleon I Of France forced the Portuguese government to flee to Brazil in 1807. On December 16 , 1815 the regent D. João VI raised Brazil to the status of a kingdom, thus making his mother, the reigning Queen, the first Monarch ''of'' Brazil. Having proclaimed independence from Portugal in 1822 , Pedro I , son of João VI, was crowned Emperor of Brazil on December 1 , 1822 .
