Final answer:

The events leading to Brazilian independence were a phased process driven by colonial elites dissatisfied with colonial rule.


Explanation:

The events leading to the independence of Brazil can best be described as a process that went through several phases.

In 1822, 8,000 creoles successfully petitioned the restored Portuguese government to become an independent nation with Crown Prince Pedro (1798-1834) as its head.

This movement was primarily driven by the colonial elite dissatisfied with high taxes and trade restrictions imposed by the Spanish and Portuguese crowns.
