After the 1993 plebiscite, the monarchy is re-established in Brazil. Brazil re-adopts most laws of the old Empire, with minor changes. Antenor da Fonseca, the former president, becomes Prime Minister. Territories and colonies of the former Empire achieve their independence in 2001 following an anti-imperialist measure by the new government.
