Answer:

Brazil entered nationhood with considerably less strife and bloodshed than the Spanish-speaking nations of the New World; however, the transition was not fully peaceful.

Explanation: The Brazilian independence movement was achieved with almost no resistance from Portugal as the Portuguese king, Dom Pedro I had been told by his father that if independence must come to Brazil he should let it.
