If you haven’t studied political history, children as monarchs are usually killed or ousted from power. By the time Pedro II reached his maturity he resented the fact that he was in control and wanted nothing more than to be rid of his responsibilities.
Instead of shirking his duties, Pedro dedicated his life to it. Although the empire was on the verge of disintegration, Pedro was able to turn Brazil into an up and coming power.
Interestingly, Pedro ruled for 58 years and was wildly popular. A group of military leaders exacted a coup and removed him from power.
Most agree that the people did not wish for change and that the coup had little support. What facilitated their attempts was Pedro. He had become so tired of being a monarch he virtually stepped aside!
