Europeans arrived in Brazil at the opening of the 16th century (around the 1500s). The first European to claim sovereignty over Indigenous lands part of what is now the territory of the Federative Republic of Brazil on the continent of South America was Pedro Alvares Cabral on April 22, 1500 under the sponsorship of the Kingdom of Portugal.

Characteristics of Brazil

➡ Brazil was a colony and a part of the Portuguese Empire

➡ The country expanded south along the coast and west along the Amazon and other inland rivers from the original 15 colonies established on the northeast Atlantic coast east of the Tordesillas Line of 1494 that divided the Portuguese domain to the east from the Spanish domain to the west,

➡ The country's borders were really only finalized in the early 20th century (around the 1900s)
