As an Brazilian I learned more in this video than my entire school time. Thanks Great job
Thanks!
Dude, that probably means you attended a shitty school.
Ya. It's very good. Congrats !!!
Então tu não prestava atenção na aula kkkkk
the video is very good, but all that was said, it was always explained very well in history classes, one thing that cannot be said is that the history of Brazil is not well taught in schools, most likely you didn't pay attention 😂

Fun Fact: For a huge part of Brazil's colonial era, the language spoken by most of the population was the "Língua Geral", an adaptation of the old Tupi language. In 1759, the Marquis of Pombal confiscated the goods of the jesuits in the colony, who were the main driving force behind the propagation of the língua geral. After that, the language gradually faded from popular use, but it was still spoken sporadically til the early 20th century.
Wonder if we could have gone the Paraguayan route and be a bilingual nation today if Língua Geral hadn’t been outlawed.
Thanks for the factoid!! The best part of reading the comments, imho, is the little "treats" ppl like yourself leave here!!✌️💚&🌲s, 🌏☮️
no, im brazilian, thats a mith, several letters and diarys is write in portuguese, and portuguese adminitration always separeted slaves that speak the same language
@@alcidestavares9565 nao entendi o seu ponto muito bem kkkk
There is still a "Língua Geral", nowadays more known as Nheengatu, that is diferent then the old one spoken all over the country

I'm genuinely impressed by the author's pronunciation of Brazilian state names. Either the author is a Portuguese speaker, or he is incredibly dedicated to respecting the language of the people he is speaking about.
Ele é português.
Ele é de Portugal
As a Brazilian i congratulate you for the video, it is very complete, even brazilians didn't so complete videos about the theme. I would also like to make two complements, about the capitancies, they are mostly only strait lines, but wete also some physical limits, like rives and hills, betwen they, but it's very difficult to find an accurate map about it and even in brazilian schools this it's not met, so it's fine. Now about the territorial changes, it's not only in the south that separatists moviments happened, south it's just the most longest and sucessfuly, but other moviments like the Ecuator Confederation, Sabinada, Balaida, Cabanagem happened, some of them were conteporany to Farropilha and also had some success, and as a video suggestion, the separatist moviments in Brazil are very interesting, we have a lot of intents in our history, more than US for example, including moviments from our colonial, imperial and republican times.
One of the wonders of history is that a battle that took place in the year 1578 between Morocco and Portugal called the Battle of the Three Kings or the Battle of Al cazar Al kabir played the biggest role in transforming Brazil from a mere Portuguese colony limited to the Atlantic coast to this vast country. Because of the defeat of Portugal in this war, in which King Sebastian and his entourage died, Portugal fell under Spanish control, and the Iberian Union was established.
This union, which united the two kingdoms and their colonies, allowed the Portuguese to expand within the continent, guaranteeing to their colony Brazil more lands in the American depth.
That's why don't rush things In many cases a defeat can bring more good
The Iberian Union also meant a great loss for the portuguese in the Indian Ocean, which in turn assured that a independent Portugal post 1640 would focus more in Brazil. In the end it was really good for us, Brazil, but not so much for the portuguese empire

Большое спасибо 🇧🇷😃
Thanks! 🫂
Obrigado 🇧🇷
this is great :) plz do one about the top 10 largest countries and the similarities and contrasts between them, like how Canada and Brazil got big via colonialism and China and Russia expanded, and also how they're governed and stuff like that :)
Didn't Russia and China get big the same way?
@@email5023 yes they did, that is what i meant. But there are other factors, like how they're population differs and so on. I don't know, it was just an idea.
I find its a good idea 😉
China with all the dynasties should last like an hour, still sounds like an interesting video series idea
@@renatoe9648
Could be more than an hour. Briefly, the territorial history of Modern China includes, as far as I know, whole or parts of these following countries/regions: Korea peninsula, many Russian republics, Mongolia, many of the central Asian countries, several southeast Asian countries in particular Vietnam, Taiwan, and disputed areas with India.

Loved it! Thanks for the video for our 200th independence anniversary, Portugal and Brazil are very good friends now, 🇧🇷❤️🇵🇹
Some states of Brazil are part of the Spanish empire give them back Brazil
11:48 As a Brazilian I am really happy you mentioned that the Acre doesn't exist right there... even tho you said it's a myth and everyone knows it to be true.
I would like to point out that two of the biggest players which helped the country to grow into it's enormous size were the catholic missionaries know as "jesuítas" who carried the role of converting natives and the so called "bandeirantes", groups of (often violent) explorers who pushed the borders further from it's orginal size by creating seatlements in the countryside, searching for gold, trading goods and slaves and doing bounty hunts
Acho muito foda um português fazer um vídeo sobre a independência do Brasil
Your pronunciation of the letter r and the diphtongs and nasal diphtongs of Portuguese names is perfect👏
He is Portuguese lol
He is Portuguese, its easy for him.
His English is also perfect, no one can deny that, and it's why his channel is so popular, he loves Latin cultures, and we are often blessed with quality content to show the world that the Portuguese language is the best of the romance languages.
Great video. Would love to hear more about Brazil!
Good and interesting information your videos has, what may never be needed. However, they can be valuable in a pub conversation.
As a goiano born before the creation of Tocantins y may say “make Goiás great again!” :D
The Rio Grande do Sul war lasted a whole decade actually, from 1835 to 1845.
There were several revolts in Brazil at the time that almost split the country in many, like had happend with Spanish America.
It happens that Dom Pedro I had left to Portugal to fight his usurper brother and establish his daughter as Queen of Portugal. He left his young son in Brazil, but he was not of age, so there was a regency. The situation reached a point where the regency declared the prince as adult when he was still 12 I think, and thus as Emperor Dom Pedro II, so they would have authority over the country again.
Muito obrigado pelo vídeo!
Excelente vídeo!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
E o nosso ouro, vai devolver quando? Haha. Brincadeira. Ótimo vídeo, como sempre. Abraço da ex-colônia!
Venham todos pro Brasil precisamos de imigrantes temos milhões de postos de trabalho e temos muita água limpa e muita comida todos são bem-vindos no Brasil 🇧🇷😊🤗
Tem nada
Wow! Better than any Brazilian history teachers I had!
Fun fact: the italian hero giuseppe garibaldi supported the sepperatists of rio grande do sul.
garibaldi was the main force behind the italian national unification. he also participated in some wars in uruguay and the french-prussian war.
3:19 it's funny because this happened before the "discovery" of brazil in 1500, when they (supposedly) had no idea of the extension of the americas.
And the first settlement, Cananeia, is curiously exactly over the Tordesilhas line and possibly founded before the official discovery
eu SEMPRE disse isso na escola, desde pequeno. é surreal como essa informação não é contestada como deveria
*The Federative Republic of Brazil 🇧🇷*
○ 26 States
○ 1 District
Yeah but Federative only in the name and in the paper, sadly. States in Brazil are a long way from true federative states (like i.e. US and Switzerland).
Great video! Beautiful images
Amazing video and I’d love to see a Guyana history video
Thank you so much for that homage about our bicentennial
Could you put subtitles in Portuguese too, I like the channel
Very interesting. Thanks for this video!
The last official attempt to change Brazil's internal organization was, I believe, already in the 21st century. There was a talk in the Parliment to create 2 new states, Tapajós and Carajás in northern Brazil, where today lies the state of Pará.
would be interesting to see how much of that territory they actually controlled through time (same for most South American countries) and how much was just on paper. Most started with overlapping claims over big areas that neither had a presence in
Can you do an video of Territorial Evolution of Mexico - Mexican Empire
I love Brazil!
I'm from the state of Paraná, in the south
Hello Brazilian friend im from Portugal, nem sei pq estou a falar em inglês ahahah
Brazil annexed Acre, former Bolivian territory, in 1903
As a brazilian, thank you for this video, amazing!
The reason the captaincies were straight lines is very simple: they had NO FUCKING CLUE about what lied in-land. They only knew the coasts. So they just divided the coast by slices based on latitude that run inland until the Tordesilla treaty line. For all they knew, there could be a giant interior sea, or huge mountain chain impossible to cross.
thank you!! much love from brazil!! 💚❤💚
Just a quick note. Actually the main reason why we say that Acre does not exist is because in the process of colonisation thousands of settlers moved to the region in hope to get rich and go back to their states but actually really few if any managed to do that. So the saying that Acre does not exist came to be due to lack of feedback from the migrants to the region. Btw, Acre had it first road built connecting to another only last year 2021.
que loucura. o isolamento do norte é impressionante
Please make a follow-up video about the Guiana's
11:50 only Brazilians will underestand this joke xD
Early Brazil lines makes Africa's borders look thoughtfully made
Makes you wonder, who makes the worse straight borders, the Portuguese or the British?
@@MihzvolWuriar it happens out of disregard for the natives, tribes are split into two the Europeans simply did not care
They lasted like just a couple of decades and the reason they were straight like that is exactly because NOONE in Europe had any idea about what lied INLAND. All they had were maps of the coast that had been explored. How can you make internal borders based on rivers and mountains you still don´t know that exist?
It was just a beginning plan for the governancy. But África and United States still has these borders.
It can be said that Brazil owns a lot of its coast colonization to France and the Netherlands... Portugal founded lots and lots of setlements along the coast (to protect against those nations), at set intervals starting at the end of the 16th century and ending in the 18th, when it started to focus more in the interior after gold was found in Minas Gerais...
You are wrong
ótimo vídeo muito obrigado
Ok, if this GIF is right the state I'm from, Rio Grande do Norte, in the time just Rio Grande, has the same borders as today since 1590 which is crazy!
lmao the "?" in acre, even foreigners know the meme im dead 🤣
One mistake at 3:04, you said 1494 but in the video is written 1534, about the treaty of Tordesilhas
Nice video
You are first congratulations
Thank you!
God bless the Federative Republic of Brazil.
Queen Elizabeth kind of related to brazilian king had died after one day Brazil declared independence 200 years ago , a miracle
Emperor Pedro II's son in law was Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's cousin so the Queen was very distantly related to Brazil's royal family
Very nice video. But as someone from São Paulo I just think that you should have mentioned the huge importance of São Paulo and the Bandeirantes for the expansion of the Portuguese America.

Thanks.
Thank you, I love Turkey 😃🇧🇷
yes to the Guyanas video

One for Mexico, pls?
a correction: the treaty of tordesillas was signed not because of the Brazilian coast, but because of the cape verde colony in Asia. the increase in Brazilian territory was pure chance.
A double correction, Cape Verde is in Africa
There are some indications that the Portuguese knew that there was land there, as the route to India required going west in the south Atlantic, due to the winds. As the Portuguese were very secretive with their discoveries, it's difficult to conclusively support this, but there are some indications.
@@camatzuma my mistake. it's because during my school term I had three teachers who spoke different things about the treaty. one said it was because of Brazil, another for Cape Verde and finally, another said it was because of a colony in Asia. So I thought that such a colony would be Cape Verde...
Im brazilian, and here the school dont focuses in such things...
@@jorge6207 I've heard that too, but as there's no clear evidence that they knew it, I didn't mention it. But as America was discovered in 1492 and the treaty signed in 1494 perhaps there is some truth to it.
actually, I'm not that wrong (although I got the location of cape verde wrong), but what happened was the following, according to my history classes at school:
1 there was a treaty that separated the colonies into north and south, north to Portugal and south to Spain.
2 2 because of cape verde, came the treaty of tordesillas, thus separating east and west. in view of the Atlantic, east to Portugal and west to Spain. but the line goes around the Earth, so on the other side it was west to Portugal and east to Spain.
3 this created another problem, since there were colonies in Asia that did not fit with the treaty. so they decided to rotate the imaginary line to adjust to these colonies, so the colonies in Asia were adjusted and Portugal got part of the American territory as seen on the map of the hereditary captaincies in Brazil.
So, my three teachers are correct, they only told one point of view of the treated.

General Knowledge is a Portuguese man.
I seen lots of Brazilians hating the Portuguese. Why?
While the US-Americans joke about the British but they don't genuinely hate them.
I'd say that most part of what you see is joke, mainly that one about returning the gold.
Regarding the real hate, I can add to things. On the Brazilian side, there is a lot of resentment, cause Portugal is now a reasonably developed country and Brazil is poor and full of social discrepancies. Most part of the social inequality you see in Brazil is a direct consequence of the Portuguese colonization, that we couldn't solve up to the present date.
On the Portuguese side, there is also a bit of resentment, but with a slight different nature. Brazil used to be a good source of money and power to Portugal. When we got independent, Portugal wasn't a superpower as it used to be in the 16th and 17th centuries, so it was demoted to the second tier in Europe. So, still nowadays there is this feeling that Brazil was the lost part of the Portuguese empire.
Depends which demographic of Brazilians hate the Lusos..most likely it would be the blacks since they were enslaved by the Lusos.
Brazils economy dwarves Portugals economy 10 times over with a bag a chips to spare. The state of Sao Paulo it self is bigger than Portugal in all financial aspects.
Portuguese deny their black blood when they were occupied by the moors while the Brazilians & Portuguese women welcome it.
@@geckoi8166 On a world level, Portugal is definitely not poor. Check the Legatum Prosperity Index and Human Development Index. Brazil scores way worse than Portugal in all aspects (including average wage, GDP per capita, safety, etc).
@@axxessmundi Black blood exists but it's minimal and there is no reason to deny it. Plus, native Berbers from North Africa (Moors) weren't black but of course some may have been mixed. If you check DNA results from most Portuguese people, you will see that Subsaharan African DNA rarely exceeds 1% which is extremely low.
@@Sergiovision Berbers weren't black but their slaves were. I am Rb1 Amazigh Berber. The Arab slave trade was a pillar of their massive army which occupied Iberia for 800 years.
Can you do evolution of USA but US States?
10:55 The Riograndense Army shows German flags. Do you know the reason? The flag of the republic had been quite different.
Interesting video. Have a nice day.
🖐👴
I don't believe it's black on the flag, but a dark green color, which is also present in the state flag today
It represents the German heritage of the people there, considering many German immigrants fled to Brazil, founding many towns and villages of German culture.
Indeed the south of brazil shares a lot with germany since it received a lot of german people and we have cities like new hamburg, for example. After Brazilian independence in 1822 south of brazil wasn't much colonized, so the emperor decided to find new settlers that weren't related to portugal and spain, in that way, many germans, italians, ukranians and polish mainly came to settle south and south east of brazil, one particular case its very interesting from Giuseppe Garibaldi, a italian living in south brazil that led a separatist movement that has failed, but after that he took place in italy's own unification. But beside that, this picture feels quite inaccurate since at the time there was no germany and that flag was created only after world war 2.
@@burajiru7270 No, that's not it. It's just a dark shade of green, it's the same colours of the state flag nowadays.
@@deborawa
I first thought the same. But after zooming in, it looks like the twin of the German flag. 🖐👴

Hi. I'm just wondering if you as a Portuguese speaker can thrill your R as a Spanish speaker would. I noticed that Portuguese speakers (from Portugal at least, not Brazilians) have in my opinion a hard time pronouncing Spanish names. Example would be you saying Río de la Plata. You pronounce the R with an "H" sound. I don't notice Brazilians having a hard time pronouncing it with a rolled "R" sound like Spanish speakers do. Also, I live in Galicia, so we're neighbours caralho 🤣. Hope I get a chance to meet you in person.
Mostly brazilians pronouce R with "H" sound in the begining of words, except for italian and east european descendants in south Brazil. Some words maintain the rolled "R" sound, when R is not in the begining of the Word, like trabalho (work), baralho (playing cards), troço (thing), turista (tourist). I never see other brazilian, like me, with dificults to pronouce this letter.
Curiosity, the R with "H" sound emerged in portuguese/brasilian Royal family when they moved to Brazil after 1808. This happened because French culture is the most influential in that time, and Royal family followed.
@@hilquias5483 Very insightful. Thank you!
@@ikarly2898 You're welcome.
@@hilquias5483 Most? Only in Rio de Janeiro and in the North region that people speak that way
@@hilquias5483 here in São Paulo, just like Minas Gerais and the South region, we dont have the "H" after the R.
acre: ?
About Uruguay (Cisplatin). Cisplatin declared independence from Brazil and Union with Argentina (Provincias Unidas do Prata). Brazil defeated both Cisplatina and Argentina, but understanding that Uruguay was never truly part of Brazil, an agreement was made to shorten the war and guarantee a buffer state (and puppet), which is Uruguay.
It is important to say this because Brazil would go from being a colony to an explicit imperialist power, keeping Uruguay, but we managed this situation as masters, guaranteeing control of the Rio de la Plata and avoiding the image of a conqueror.
And we never payed Bolivia for purchasing Acre hahaha
Not good
You displayed the British flag and said "English". English and British are not synonyms. General knowledge?
Honest mistake, but kind of true, in political terms. Most of the world, while thinking of the UKGBNI, actually just says England, cause that's what it actually is.
@@jorge6207 The UK is the UK, England is England. They're not the same thing.
