Brazil was a colony of Portugal until 1822.
However, for over 100 years after “independence” the country remained economically tied to Portuguese Crown.
Only in the later 1950s Brazil began to trade with the rest of the world.

Dilma Vana Rousseff
Dilma Rousseff is Brazil's first woman president, in office since 1 January 2011. Fighting the underground battle against the ruling military dictatorship landed her in prison in 1970, where she spent nearly three years and was tortured with electric shocks. After her release, she finished her studies (1977) and pursued local politics as a member of the Democratic Labor Party. Over the next two decades, Rousseff's major role was as a behind-the-scenes party consultant and able administrator, with a specialty in energy concerns. When Luis "Lula" da Silva campaigned for the presidency in 2002, he tapped Rousseff as one of his top consultants. After his election, he named her to his cabinet as Minister of Energy. Rousseff's success in that position led to her job as Lula's Chief of Staff in 2005, a post she held until deciding to run for election as Lula's successor in 2010. Her leftist past and later pro-capitalist leanings mean that Rousseff is considered a hypocrite to a some, but a pragmatist to most.

During the 19th century, millions of immigrants from Germany, Italy and Japan streamed into Brazil. To attract these immigrants the brazilian government has offered them large tracts of land in exchange for their work.

AFRICANS IN BRAZIL
How did they get to Brazil?
Brazil’s population includes the largest number of people of African descent in the entire Western Hemisphere. How did Africans get to Brazil? As in Mexico and India, in Brazil, Africans were transported to the country as slaves. Here, slavery lasted longer than in any other country in the New World.
When the Portuguese arrived in Brazil in 1500, 2 - 5 million indigenous Brazilians were living in the territory. The Indians and the Portuguese battled for land, and the Indians resisted against the Portuguese as they tried to enslave them. The growing Portuguese presence in Brazil after 1530 brought with it more disease and caused an increase in the number of slave raids. Many of the Indians were killed and many others were forced to migrate into the interior of the country.
What caused more Portuguese to come to Brazil around 1530? The Portuguese began to cultivate sugar and settle on the east coast of Brazil. The growing number of sugar plantations demanded more workers, and the Indian population had become smaller because many Indians had died. To deal with this labor shortage, the Portuguese began to import slaves from Africa into Brazil to work on the plantations.

“...Eu conheci uma espanhola, natural da Catalunha.
Queria que eu tocasse castanhola e pegasse um touro à unha.
Caramba! Caracoles!
Sou do samba, não me amoles!
Pro Brasil eu vou fugir!
Isto é conversa mole para boi dormir.”
Touradas de Madrid - Mauricio Pereira
