Why is this separate from Delaration of independence?

Only the newly forming state can declare its independence, so a DoI can only BE unilateral. The stste seceded from can support or accept said independence, but it cannot declare it. --Khajidha (talk) 14:29, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is an explanation at Talk:Declaration_of_independence#MIxed_up_article, but I can’t make any sense of it. If there is a cogent difference, between a unilateral and non-unilateral declaration it belongs in one article. Agree to merge. —Michael Z. 2020-04-16 19:46 z

Brazil

Brazil declared its independence in the same manner those countries did, Independence War and all, later signing a treaty with its parent country, as did the United States, Belgium, and most contries in that list. Can I add it? Darth2207Lucas (talk) 03:05, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
