Apogee of Pedro II of Brazil

The apogee of Pedro II of Brazil refers to the decade from 1870 to 1881 during which he, and Brazil itself, reached the height of their prestige and activity. The nation experienced rapid development and the emperor was intimately involved in pushing for further progress on a variety of economic and cultural fronts. It was during this period that serious efforts toward the end of slavery began to be implemented.
