In Brazil, there was a conspiracy to try to start a rebellion and get Brazil's independence, inspired by the American Revolution.

It failed and the conspirators were caught.
What would have happened if they succeeded in starting a war? With the French Revolution going on in Europe at the same time, could the Brazilian revolutionaries beat Portugal? Would other states get involved?
