Pedro III of Brazil (Napoleon's World)

Pedro III of Brazil (13 September 1909 - 5 July 1981) was the Emperor of Brazil from 1930 to 1941, when a military coup overthrew the monarchy. In his brief rule, he exercised stronger influence in Brazil than his father Luiz I did and agitated both the military and left-wing republican elements. A liberal, Pedro spent the rest of his life in exile in Portugal, agitating for a return of the Brazilian monarchy and acting as a major supporter of the anti-Savala cause in the 1970s. His son would succeed his claim as Emperor of Brazil in 1981 upon his death and return to Brazil in 1989 in the Brazilian Restoration to be crowned Pedro IV.
