The demand for coffee continued to increase, and the coffee production industry expanded due to an influx in immigrants from Japan, Portugal, Spain, Italy, as well as several other European countries. Brazil was a divided nation, lacking a unified population or shared culture. The goal of allowing an influx of European immigrants into the country was to conform to European culture, and “civilize” Brazil. Essentially

After the slavery abolition in 1888 and throughout the 20th century, Africa figured relatively low in Brazil’s foreign policy agenda, which have mostly focused in the relations with the global powers such as the United States and European countries. This configuration started to change significantly in the early 2000s, when the improved macroeconomic situation of Brazil coincided with Africa’s economic revival. The turning point was, with no doubt, under former President Lula’s mandate (2003-2010)

The Americans did it – uniting almost the entire continent into a United States of America, and the Europeans did it too – creating the European Union with a single currency and governing principles. However, unifying large swathes of political territories is not as easy as it would seem and Africa’s diverse cultural, ethnic, economic and political interests may not allow the transition into a union to be smooth or even viable. The unification of countries, such as that in the European Union has

One thing that you may notice about the TPP is that one regional Pacific super power is not a member, China. The TPP will cover approximately 40% of the world economy, and supporters of the agreement will say that these numbers will increase if it is a success.

Upon Christopher Columbus’ return from his first trip to the Americas, a debate broke out between the Spanish and Portuguese as to who possessed ownership of the new lands. In June of 1494, the issue was settled via the Treaty of Tordesillas. By the middle of the 18th century though, the dispute was raging once again. For more than a century, Portuguese in the Americas had been gradually pushing westward; in doing so, they encroached on territory theoretically belonging to Spain. This resulted in
