Hey, I need some help building a history for an ME Game, and the United Kingdom of Portugal-Brazil is something I dont know much about.

Now it appears that Brazil declared independence, but is there anyway to stop this from happening, and keeping a Union of Brazil and Portugal. Hopefully up until the present day. What would be the effects of this on the world? What would be this states enemies? Allies?

Thanks in advance
