Question

brazils road to independence was different from that of its latin american neighbors in that
○ the battles with portugal were much bloodier
○ brazil sought independence from france and portugal
○ criollos signed a petition and asked the kings son, don pedro, to rule
○ criollos killed the portuguese king and appointed don pedro in his place

Explanation:

Unlike most Latin American nations that gained independence through violent, bloody wars against European powers, Brazil's independence was largely peaceful. Brazilian criollos (local elites of European descent) petitioned Dom Pedro, the son of the Portuguese king who was ruling in Brazil, to become their ruler and declare independence, avoiding large-scale violent conflict. The other options are incorrect: Brazil only sought independence from Portugal, not France; the conflict was not bloodier; and the Portuguese king was not killed.

Answer:

criollos signed a petition and asked the king's son, Don Pedro, to rule
