The Brazilian official history starts in 1500, a bit more than five hundred years ago, when the country was discovered by Pedro Alvares Cabral, a Portuguese traveler who was on his way to the Indias, but ended up arriving at Brazil. After some discussions, the Brazilian territory was divided by Portugal and Spain, those countries were the owners of Brazil.
There were indians here when they arrived, the Portuguese people were very surprised,
as the indians here had almost no hair on their bodies, and they all walked naked, what was very strange for them.The Portuguese made friends with the natives by giving them some objects, such as mirrors, thing they did not know. The natives ended up turning into slaves, together with the African ones that were imported.
As soon as the Portuguese guys arrived here, lots of indians were raped, as the men on the ships were traveling for months, with only men on the ships, they were so desperate, and the indians were so vulnerable, that it happened these rapes, added up with the ones against the African slaves, made the Brazilian skin color. A mixture of races. Brazil was on slavery for over 300 years. Right after the country was divided by Portuguese and
Spanish people, other immigrants from all over the world started to come.
Brazil has a sad history, it was filled with slavery, crimes, racist actions, stupid governments, the country had it’s independence, but it is dependant on other countrie’s economy until today, there is a lot of corruption on the government of Brazil and people are too passive, they are being stolen and do nothing, the same happened five hundred years ago.
