Brazil In History

Brazil: Nationwide Background Geography Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world, accounting for nearly half of the entire South American continent. In addition to Chile and Ecuador, it borders all Latin American countries. A coastline of 9,170 km and a navigable inland waterway of 50,000 km provide a great possibility of water transport which has not been fully developed yet. Brazil's topography is relatively flat. 40% of the land belongs to the Amazon rainforest. Most of the cultivated land is in the south, but the farmland development process is also progressing to the central and western regions.

My recent practical work has allowed me to work in Brazil, which gives me reasons to understand Brazilian facts and history. I myself am interested in the history of Brazilian population. Not only I am interested right away, I noticed that I am also very interested in Brazilian national / ethnic identity compared to the United States. I vaguely remembered that Brazil was said to be about a very good racial relationship, "racial democracy", but I do not know much. Of course, I know that Brazilian slave purchasers have mobilized more than 5 million slaves to Africans and enslaved many local residents. I know that Brazil has always maintained slavery. In 1888, I abolished it; when I studied the history of American slavery, I learned two facts.

The economic history of Brazil covers various economic events and follows the change of the Brazilian economy in Brazilian history. Portugal first settled in this area in the 16th century, signed a colonial agreement with Brazil and a commercial policy of the empire that promoted the development of the next three centuries. Independent from 1822. Slavery was completely abolished in 1888. An important structural change began in the 1930s when significant measures were taken to transform Brazil into a modern industrial economy.
