- 5. The son of the King of Portugal. After he was left in charge of his father’s old house (aka the colony of Brazil), he asked for permission to turn his colony into an independent nation.

Down
- 1. A military officer that studied the enlightenment ideas of Europe, who would later have a wild dream of unifying all of South America. He was also lucky enough to have a country named after him, and I wonder which country that is it? (lesson #16B)
