Brazil declared independence from Portugal in 1822, and made Dom Pedro, eldest son <bb>>ofb>bb>> the then-King <bb>>ofb>bb>> Portugal, who was acting as Regent, <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Emperorb>bb>>bb>bb>>> as Pedro I.

Although the <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Emperorb>bb>>bb>bb>>> <bb>>ofb>bb>> Japan (born 1945) is classified as constitutional Monarch <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Emperorb>bb>>bb>bb>>> among political scientists, the constitution <bb>>ofb>bb>> Japan defines him only as a symbol <bb>>ofb>bb>> the nation and no law states his status as a political monarch or otherwise.
Being <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Emperorb>bb>>bb>bb>>> in the Roman Empire was not a constitutional office but rather a complicated collection <bb>>ofb>bb>> offices, titles, and honours, that were consolidated around a single person (while in the republic the "taking <bb>>ofb>bb>> turns", often in shared offices, had been the principle for passing on power).

To facilitate Ferdinand's eventual election as Holy Roman <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Emperorb>bb>>bb>bb>>>, Matthias secured his election as king <bb>>ofb>bb>> Bohemia in 1617.
To prevent either Russia from replacing Turkey as the dominant power in the region or the already independent Balkan states (Serbia, Montenegro, Greece, and Romania) from dividing up the remaining Turkish territory, Austria-Hungary was forced to seek a partition <bb>>ofb>bb>> the Balkans with Russia.
Russia became more assertive in the Balkans, and British policy increasingly reflected that nation's liberal popular opinion.

Under the Semi-Salic succession promulgated by <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Emperorb>bb>>bb>bb>>> Paul I <bb>>ofb>bb>> Russia, when the last male Romanov dynast died, the succession would pass to his closest female relative with valid succession rights.
This argument is not valid because <<bb>>bb>bb>>>Emperorb>bb>>bb>bb>>> Paul I <bb>>ofb>bb>> Russia established in the succession laws that upon extinction <bb>>ofb>bb>> male dynasts, females could succeed.
