Question

examine the map below. which location achieved independence not through revolution but by the declaration of a member of the royal family? a. country a b. country c c. country d d. country b

Explanation:

Country A is Brazil. It gained independence in 1822 when Pedro I, a member of the Portuguese royal family, declared Brazil's independence, rather than through a violent revolution. In contrast:

• Country B (Haiti) gained independence via a revolution.
• Country C (a European nation, e.g., France) had revolutionary independence.
• Country D (a European nation, e.g., Britain) had its independence established through historical/parliamentary means, not a royal family declaration for colonial independence.

Answer:

A. Country A
