The Arms of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves refers to the heraldic symbol used by the Portuguese monarchy during a brief period from 1815 to 1825. This armorial achievement combined elements representing the three realms under King John VI's rule: the Kingdom of Portugal, the United Kingdom of Brazil (established in 1815), and the Algarves. The arms consisted of a shield divided into five parts, each with unique symbols representing the various territories. The first quarter displayed the Portuguese coat of arms, while the second represented the House of Braganza, which ruled both Portugal and Brazil. The third and fourth quarters symbolized the Algarves and the Azores respectively, and the fifth quarter showed an escutcheon representing Brazil with a five-toed arm holding a green olive branch and a red ribbon tied around it, emblematic of peace and unity. This particular design was used from 1815 to 1825; however, variations in heraldry continued after the split of Brazil from Portugal in 1825 until its recognition as an independent nation in 1889. The use of these arms signified the shared history and connection between Portugal and its colonies during this period.
