Brazil

There are relatively few similarities between the society found in Brazil and the society discovered in the Andes highlands. Most of the residents of the Andean Highlands are Incas, the largest number being found in Peru. Residents in Brazil are mainly concentrated in the Amazon basin. The people of the Andean Highlands are mainly Inca civilizations (the name of the ruler, not the race). However, the geographical location of these societies is not the only difference between these groups.

Brazilian history began with Brazilian indigenous people. Europeans began arriving in Brazil in the early 16th century. On April 22, 1500, under the auspices of the Kingdom of Portugal, Pedro Alvarez-Cabral (c.1467 / 1468-c.1520) was the first European who colonized the Brazilian Republic in South America. From the 16th century to the early 19th century, Brazil was a colony and part of the Portuguese empire. The country is along the Amazon along the other inland river along the coast and west, from the first 15 Donald Captain colonies to the east of the east Atlantic shore 1494 east of the Toddsilla line (approximately 46th meridian) Expansion (West), Portuguese territory from Spain territory is divided from east to west. The border was fixed at the beginning of the 20th century.

The Brazilian colonial architecture dating back to the early 16th century Brazilians were first investigated, conquered and settled by Portuguese. The Portuguese aimed to colonize in Brazil and built their familiar buildings in Europe. They built buildings in colonial times in Portuguese such as churches, civic buildings, houses and fortresses in Brazilian cities and villages. In the 19th century Brazilian architecture, Brazil introduced a more European style such as neoclassicalism and Gothic resurrected architecture. It often mixes with the Brazilian influence of its own heritage, forming a Brazilian specific architectural style. Modernism building was introduced in the 1950s when Brasilia built a new federal capital inside Brazil to help internal development. The architect Oscar Niemeyer built modernist buildings, churches, and city buildings in a modernist style.

Construction of Brazil is influenced by Europe, especially Portugal. Its history is 500 years ago when Pedro Cabral discovered Brazil in 1500. The Portuguese colonial building was the first building to travel to Brazil. It was the foundation of all Brazilian architecture for centuries. In the 19th century Brazilian Empire, Brazil pursued the trend of Europe and adopted the neoclassical and Gothic resurrected architecture. Then in the 20th century, especially in Brazilia, Brazil tried modernist building.
