Ok, assume that the Portuguese Royal Family was captured in 1807 or even as far back as the "War of the Oranges" in 1801 (though I don't know how this would work).
The Royal Family doesn't make it to Brazil. What happens to Brazil?
Do they rebel against the Bonaparte King/French puppet put in charge?
Does Great Britain try to take over? How would the Brazilians react?
