The United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves was formed in 1815, following the transfer of the Portuguese Court to Brazil during the Napoleonic invasions of Portugal, and it continued to exist for about one year after the return of the Court to Europe, being de facto dissolved in 1822, when Brazil proclaimed its independence. The dissolution of the United Kingdom was accepted by Portugal and formalized de jure in 1825, when Portugal recognized the independent Empire of Brazil.

The Hymno Patriótico (English: "Patriotic Hymn") was considered Portugal’s first national anthem. The music of the "Hymno Patriótico" was composed by Marcos António Portugal in 1808.
