Dom Pedro II was the second and last emperor of Brazil, reigning from 1831 until the monarchy was abolished in 1889. He is remembered for his efforts to modernize Brazil, promoting education, scientific research, and infrastructure development, including the introduction of the telegraph and other technological advancements.
