You probably heard of Brazil but, do you know much about it? Brazil is a beautiful place or country, in South America. It’s great for tourists’ sites; it has amazing land features, and especially cool culture and history. Brazil has a tremendous amount of nature and folktale. Brazil was found actually, over 8,000 years ago. The Portuguese were the first European settlers to arrive there. The journey was led by Pedro Cabral who began in the 1500s. When they finally got there they found Native Americans living there. They were around the seven millions.

Much like the U.S., Brazilian culture is extremely diverse. Brazil’s current population of 190 million represents various nationalities from European to African (Country Facts).

Brazil, located in South America, is the fifth largest country for both for the land size and the population. With a country taking up almost half of a continent, the 200 million people only occupy about ten percent of the entire country. Twenty-two percent of the population is under the age of 15.9 There are three main cities; the first is the capital Brasilia, with a population of over two million. The other two cities are San Paulo and Rio de Janeiro; accounting for over 15 million of the people. Throughout Brazil, a majority of the population speaks Portuguese and are generally Christian-based, following the Catholic faith. The currency is called the Brazilian Real (BRL). The BRL is equivalent to about $0.3 United States dollar.

ver time, human development and distribution can be drastically changed and differed according to human and environmental factors. This has very much been the case in Brazil. Over the course of many years major cities like Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have seen a significant increase in population density, but the creation of Brasilia and government funding of northern cities such as Manaus has also caused an evident shift in population distribution. This change has been created as a result of increase in government funding in projects such as urbanization of northern cities, job opportunities, harsh physical features and both internal and external migration.

Esau and Jacob by Joaquim Machado de Assis portrays the tumultuous relationship between twin brothers, Pedro and Paulo, during the late nineteenth century; the twins symbolize the Brazilian political struggles during the transition from a monarchy to a republic. The brothers are emblematically born in 1870, “at the end of the Paraguayan War, a time when the Brazilian political elite split between conservatives and reformers” (xiii). The brothers fight; their most contentious arguments regard politics. Paulo is a republican and Pedro is a monarchist. The only commonalities the twins have are their love for their mother, Natividade, and their courtship of Flora. As an allegory, Natividade represents the old nation of

Brazil is the largest country in South America. The primary language spoken in Brazil is Portuguese. However, there are some exceptions, such as immigrants from Japan and Korea and some Amerindians. Brazilian families can be big and interracial due to intermarriages. There is a class system established in Brazil; there are three classes: upper, middle, and lower.

Envisage a country named after a wood product. Such a country exists in Eastern South America. Brazil has been tremendously influenced by European life and evidence of that can be perceived through their culture. Made up of various types of resources, Brazil has continued to flourish. However, problems have arose along with the growth of the population. Deforestation, an outcome of human action has affected the millions of exotic species that live in one of the treasures of Brazil, the Amazon Rainforest.

Gertulio Vargas is a very, very important figure in Latin history. He was a manipulating man of many faces who succeeded in gaining not one of two but nine positions of power in Brazilian history. He was state legislator, federal Congressman, Cabinet minister and Governor. He also held the positions of interim president, (revolutionary) chief of state and Senator. Least but not forgotten he was a dictator through and through! This man who became president in Brazil, drew comparisons to America’s Franklin D. Roosevelt in the way that he helped modern his country and was constantly in the media’s eye. In Vargas’ case, he exited office very differently than Roosevelt. Also Vargas’ legacy left a lot let to be desired if the way that he

Brazil was first colonized by the Portuguese in the year 1500. Thanks to the Treaty of Tordesillas, Portugal laid claim to the Atlantic coasts of the South American continent and subsequently colonized to the South and inward through Amazonian rainforest. Originally, the Portuguese profited from the extraction brazilwood and its red dye. During the colonization process, the Portuguese originally relied on labor from the indigenous peoples. Jesuit missions largely converted the indigenous to the Catholic faith. However, due to the effects of European diseases African slaves began to become the main source of labor. Eventually, the economy was dominated by the export of sugar from the 16th to the 19th centuries. When Napoleon invaded

Brazil ranks first in the world in arable land and fifth in the world in territory and population. They have a “soils sustain a bountiful agricultural which they produce the world’s leading exporter of coffee, orange juice, sugar, tobacco, ethanol, beef, and chicken.”(pg.273) Deforestation became a major issue in Brazil. Due to the fact of “removing the rainforest results directly from logging operations, but more of it is now a matter of clearing space for land occupation by settlers as well as the expansion of large-scale agribusiness.” (pg.278) Brazil economy have grown over the years after the new policies that was passed made a sufficient in the manufacturing in Brazil.

There were many causes for the crisis of Brazilian slavery after mid-century. First of all, the crisis became more severe due to the English demand on Brazil to impose the Anglo-Brazilian treaty banning Brazil from shipping in slaves after November 7, 1831. The British government also pressured Brazil to pass the Queiroz anti-slave trade law. The importation of slaves had virtually ended by the mid 1850’s. Poor food, hard working conditions, and other negative reasons occasioned high mortality among the enslaved. Natural reproduction was not enough to hold up the slave population. Labor shortage due to the end of slave trade was caused because of the amount of slaves that moved from the north to the south. This aggravated the imbalance between
