Brazil has been 20 years from becoming a superpower, for like 150 years.
curious that this fits very closely with the time when the republic began

brazil has been the country of the future, is the country of the future and will always be the country of the future

The Treaty of Tordesillas for Portugal was much more about owning the Atlantic and Indian trade routes than just land.
Wow this makes perfect sense. Didn't think from this angle before.
Yea and the spanish just wanted gold!!!
And the original line was a little more to the right, Portugal was aware some land was found and got to change the agreement pushing the line more to the left, thus getting that piece of Brasil, but at the time no one knew the entire size of Americas.
But it did say “whatever you find is yours”. Tordesilhas replaced the intercoetera bill which was further east, which would have left Brazil to Spain. Portugal knowingly pushed for a new deal to move the line to the west precisely because they knew there was land there to be found
Yeah, and the portuguese just manage brilliantly taking that much of land outside the agreement. When it became the Iberian Union (unification of Spain and Portugal under the same king) they just make the party and take as much land as they need. But unfortunately they loose the control of the routes...
About the liberal thing. In Brazil, the word liberal usually means economically liberalism, so right wing. It's confusing for me when people cosidered from left wing are called liberals in the US, because here is the opposite.
Amigo. São coisas diferentes. Hoje em dia a direita se apresenta como conservadora nos costumes e liberal na economia. Já a esquerda se apresenta como liberal nos costumes e menos liberal na economia. No entanto, o neoliberalismo vem tomando conta do mundo todo desde 1980, com o fim das ditaduras, incluindo países sob chefia da esquerda, como todos os governos de esquerda do ocidente e a China, por exemplo. Fechar a economia é algo que caiu por terra hoje em dia. A direita também já foi, no passado bastante centralizadora, principalmente na época do fascismo e depois nas ditaduras de 1960/70. São coisas que mudam com o tempo. No fim, a economia manda em tudo, escolhendo a esquerda ou a direita quando bem quiser.
Economic liberalism doesn’t mean right wing, it means less government control, you can be left liberal or right liberal
@@hkgehts9061 Correct. But in Brazil people don't know that yet.
Yes, but "social liberal" sounds leftist even in Brazil. Also, even though Bolsonaro has become economically liberal, he is still more associated with national-conservatism.

@@anonymoususer8895how so? Genuinely curious (I'm Brazilian)
I do wonder why they didn't. They took Acre from Peru and Bolivia and other Amazonian territories from most of their neighbours so I'm curious as to why they didn't just go all the way
@@coco-ro9pb Probably due to logistics or something like that.
@@coco-ro9pb I don't think that was the goal, since there was that pesky line of the treaty. for a long time it was more like, will cross that line and stay if no one minds it, than suddenly no line, than just wathever let's not fight because BR always wins.
@@claudialuizalonghini I'm talking past the wars of independence though. In the late 1800s Brazil went very far into the amazon and took a bunch of lands from its neighbours, and they didn't seem to have a problem going to war with them (w/ only Bolivia getting crushed).
Peru literally ceded Acre and forgot about it because they knew it was pointless to resist against big boy BR, so I find it odd that they didn't just annex the rest of the largely unpopulated amazon for that sweet sweet white oil (rubber) since there was such little resistance
Fun fact: Brazil had a pretty funny battle in ww1, where Brazilian ships in Gibraltar were in an alert for the germans u-boats, which had sunken a british ship, later that night, one of the watchman though he saw a periscope, the brazilians opened fire, and moments after blood emerged from the water, it wasn't a submarine, it was a school of porpoises, another w for us Brazilians against the animal kingdom

The thing that is holding Brazil back from being a super power is industrialization. Pretty much every political leader that we had, be then a noble man, a dictator, an elected president... That tried doing something about it, has suffered a coup. Our economic elites have no interest in developing this country, so much so that this has become pretty much a clichê in the literature about Brazilian economic history. Great video.

Segundo "especialistas" o Brasil sofre até hoje porque foi colônia de Portugal kkkkkkk
@@nasfoda_gamerbrbigproducti5375 Pior que isso tem haver, qua do o Brasil deixou de ser colonia de Portugal, virou da Inglaterra, quando deixou de ser império, virou dos EUA. E Aqui estamos até hoje.
O pior é que não existe indústria ruim ou boa, existe indústria competitiva ou não competitiva. A nossa industrialização começou extremamente tarde, lá por volta da Grande Depressão no primeiro governo Vargas, e foi marcada principalmente pelo protecionismo. Isso quer dizer que o governo impedia a entrada de indústrias e capital estrangeiro no país, com o intuito de estimular a nossa indústria a crescer pra atender a demanda interna que antes era suprida pela importação de produtos industrializados estrangeiros. Esse modelo protecionista persistiu praticamente intocado (com a exceção do período JK) até a crise econômica que durou a década de 80 inteira e tirou os militares do governo. Foi aí que o nosso querido Collor e sua turminha de neoliberalistas incompetentes abriram o mercado do país pra capital e indústrias estrangeiras de uma vez só, com o intuito de modernizar a indústria brasileira que era tecnologicamente atrasada. O resultado disso foi que não deu tempo do nosso setor industrial modernizar, porque ele simplesmente era dez vezes menos competitivo que as indústrias estrangeiras. Comprar produtos industrializados estrangeiros era muito mais barato do que os produzidos aqui no Brasil, o que praticamente matou boa parte da nossa indústria da noite pro dia nos anos 90. Ou seja, os governantes da época assim como os de hoje não têm a mínima noção de como fazer a indústria brasileira competir com a estrangeira. Por causa da nossa falta de mão de obra qualificada, a nossa infraestrutura porca e as cargas tributárias altas, hoje é MUITO mais barato importar bens industrializados de fora do que usar os que são produzidos aqui.
Agora, se a gente comparar isso com o nosso agronegócio dá até vontade de rir. A agropecuária brasileira começou a usar tecnologias de ponta já nos anos 50 e 60, época em que a indústria nacional já estava muito atrasada quando comparada a estrangeira. O uso de tecnologias como sementes modificadas geneticamente, fertilizantes artificiais e produtos pra corrigir o pH do solo foi o que permitiu a região Centro-Oeste se tornar a potência do agronegócio que é hoje (de longe a maior exportação de carne, soja, etc.). Sim, é isso mesmo, enquanto a nossa indústria estava presa nas linhas de produção retratadas em Tempos Modernos, o nosso agronegócio já utilizava a engenharia genética. É por essas e outras que a participação da indústria no PIB só recua de ano em ano. Nós somos abençoados com um sistema de educação horrível, uma malha ferroviária porca que faz com que a gente tenha que transportar TUDO por caminhão, e uma carga tributária alta que não dá resultado em políticas públicas que melhorem a nossa infraestrutura. Como que industrializa assim?

Small correction, São Paulo is actually the largest city by far, in both area and population.
São Paulo is ~300 square kilometers larger than Rio de Janeiro, ~3,400 square kilometers using metropolitan area.
It also has ~5,650,000 more inhabitants than Rio de Janeiro, ~9,720,000 when using metropolitan area.
the largest city in Brazil in area is "Altamira", in the state of Pará, with approximately 160,000 km², territory comparable to Tunisia.
@@MrSecaGarfos Oh yeah, forgot about that one. Probably because I measured in another way.

There are differences: Brazil was a colony and an empire at the same time. There was a monarchy that centralized power. While the USA emerged in a decentralized way with the thirteen colonies.
Even the independence process was quite different.
Another thing, the country was *technically* independent when the king, João (i think) made Brazil into a kingdom, annexing it to the kingdoms of Brazil, Portugal and Algarves, so the king was ruler of 3 countries

@Bear Bear "huge native populations", right here is where i know you didnt search anything up
@Bear Bear Claro que tem bastante negros nos Estados Unidos.
@Bear Bear Brazil is 5x more populous than Canada, and less than 0.3% of it's population is native. Culturally speaking, it's much closer to the Spanish than to the French, unlike Canada. Overall, I think that the Brazilian society is more similar to the US
@Bear Bear It's a common misconcept that most of the Brazilians live in the coastal areas, and the population is totally concentred there. They do, actually, (just like a certain country in North America) live mostly in the eastern half of the country - because of how the colonization went -, which happens to be the only one that shares a border with the ocean. For instance, Minas Gerais, the 2nd most populous state in the country, does NOT have access to the coast. And well, the US has no Spanish or Latin heritage? Even though a full third of the country was once part of the Spanish Empire, and more than 40 million americans speak spanish as their native tongue? In Brazil, on the contrary, there are almost no Spanish speakers. However, the reason i brought this to the discussion is because, since Brazil took a lot of lands from their Spanish speaking neighbours (once again, just like a certain country in North America), they do share a much larger common history with the Spanish than with the French (unlike Canada), just like the USA does. Social indicators also makes Brazil much more similar to the US, even though i really wish Brazil was peaceful and non-violent like Canada is.
And I live in one of them!
Ya so I am learning Brazilian Portuguese right now and Brazil is actually just inverted America.
They both have a super populated east coast with a mostly lightly settled west end (Yes, I know California and Washington exist)
They both don't have their capital as their most populated city
They both are addicted to roads and highways
They are both very Insular Countries and Societies
They both have American Accents (Brazilian Portuguese is Funny and Different from its European counterpart in many of the same ways American English is to British English)
They both have states that don't exist (Acre vs. Ohio Showdown)
They both have high homicide rates, specifically caused by guns (though for different reasons)
They both are super loud people who don't let others push them around and are great at networking and communicating
They both are very mixed countries (America is mainly a mix of very different Europeans with a sprinkle of other races, while Brazil is...well Japanese Angolan with Italian and Yoruba ancestry should say everything)
They both speak Spanish badly (Brazilians will either speak with a "Spanish" accent in the same way Americans do or they actually speak Spanish, but badly (think "yo hablo espanol but with a bunch of Portuguese words mixed in as well))
They both have regional accents due to their large sizes
They both have the greatest rivers in the world (Amazon is the largest river, while the Mississippi is the greatest geographically strategical river ever.)
Seriously if Brazil was richer, other than the hotter weather and different language it would be hard to justify America and Brazil being completely different from each other, and if Brazil does get an economy and finally ACTUALLY becomes the country of the future, Americans would probably not struggle to much to get adjusted if they were to move there.
Also Toycat, if you somehow read this comment, rate France on an 11-star scale.
Japanese Brasilians are like less than 1% of the population if I am not wrong. Their genetics are not prevelent at all in Brazil
True. Brazil is very similar to the USA, but on another continent.
@@mitonaarea5856because it's diluted by many populous regions that haven't had Japanese migration (just like you won't see lots of Japanese people outside of NYC and the west coast). Trust me if you ever go to sao paulo you'll definitely see a lot of Japanese people there (not only in the city of Sao Paulo, in the entire state)
I live in a city where almost nobody is of Japanese descent yet you'll still see Japanese people from time to time... Heck my best friend is "Japanese" hahahaha

It pisses me off to no end how little gringos know about Brazil, yet they still decide to speak of it. And it's not just the Rio de Janeiro crap, I've seen people who thought we spoke Spanish over here.
@@maxwellmorgan Eh I think you waste your temperament on nothing. Even after some research people are allowed to get things wrong, that's normal, specially in a not so serious video.
On the common hispanic misconception, well, most people don't know the language of every country. I'm willing to bet most brazilians can't point out the difference between mandarin and chinese, which is pretty egregious but I don't think it's worth getting angry over it.
@@pretendtheresaname9213 Still, it's a very common mistake, especially for such major area and population differences between the two cities. If Rio de Janeiro is well-known enough to make some idiots assume it is the capital of Brazil, then it should be common knowledge that it isn't the largest or most populous city in Brazil.
And unlike Mandarin, which is a specific branch of Chinese language, Portuguese is not a branch of Spanish. They sound very different, are spoken in different places, and possibly the largest thing in common between them is that they're both Romance languages. And while I have to admit that lots of people don't know *the* difference between Mandarin and Chinese, at least they know there's *a* difference.
You want a better comparison? Then let's take Dutch and German. Both are well-known languages spoken in multiple different places across the world, most notably two neighbouring countries. And while they share some similarities and words, most people know there's a difference between the two. And when they don't, it's fair to call them ignorant or uneducated.
And it's not like if Portugal, Brazil, and even Angola were tiny unknown countries. Brazil is up there with motherfucking BRICS. And for the Spanish-speaking countries, there's Spain as well as most countries in Latin America. If both languages and the countries that speak them are so relevant, widespread, and well-known, then mistaking Spanish and Portuguese is not, in fact, just a little "oopsie". It is plain ignorance (or lack of education).

São Paulo metropolitan regions has around the same population as Australia.
Brazilian colonization started in the Northeast (Porto Seguro), just like the US (Plymouth, if you ignore Jamestown, which most Americans do).
Also, in Brazil the Northeast is more left-leaning while the south is more right-wing, which is counter intuitive, if you compare to the US, because the Brazilian South had a colonization more similar to that of New England, and the Brazilian Northeast was more similar to the US South.

@@jjtt Nah. You’re wrong. Sorry not sorry.
You basically right when you say that the USA has a clear advantage by having access to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and also being in the Northern Hemisphere helped a lot. There are two new routes being built which will provide Brazil access to the Pacific. One in the Southeast through Chile and the other in the North through Peru. those two routes should facilitate exports. If you study Brazilian history in depth you will understand why it's been so hard for Brazil to become a fully developed nation.....
The Tordesillas treaty was not unfair, it simply adjusted to the objectives of the time and the objective of Portugal was to create a route to the Indies through Africa and that is what they gave it.
Also, I guess getting the whole of Africa and basically the whole East Indias is not bad deal

A clássica inteligência brasileira. Típico de brasileiro falar uma cagada total dessa.
Evitou tudo pq não teria sobrevivido. O brasileiro é um povo que 35% quer Ditadura de volta, ou seja, tem DNA de terceiro mundo, são "lambe botas".
Se os USA e Rússia não lutam por vocês, não existiria mais Brasil como país, somente as terras pertencendo aos alemães.
O Brasil não evitou guerra nenhuma por inteligência, mas sim porque não tinha nem "bosta no c* pra cagar", e aceitou imposição a política dos outros países que lutaram a guerra.
small correction, brazil has 4 timezones, not 3... the closest one to the greenwich is in the archipelagos at the east (fernando de noronha and são pedro e são paulo UTC-2h). also são paulo is the largest city by population with 20 million people living in the metropolitan area and 12 million in the city.

Pará and Amazonas used to be a single state called Grão-Pará, but were divided for easier management. Same thing happened with Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, and Goiás with Piauí. We also bought Acre.

The atordesilhas treaty was not a raw deal for Portugal at the time because the focus at the time was to find and control a route to aindia by the sea. Brazil was so uninteresting for Portugal that it took them 30 years to start the colonization after the discovery.
Watching this got me so interested in History in a way I've never been, thank you, amazing video!

during the proclamation of the republic (when the military kicked out the monarchy) brazil's military was very pro-american and decided to go with a flag that is pretty much a copy of the USA flag.
A lot of brazilian governments since then can be considered very pro-american, having improving relations with the US as their top priority. Most of latin america as an whole did the same but it never yielded significant results. To this day many people believe that "all we have to do is be good friends with the us!"
Friendly reminder that only 25% of the military was pro republic when that happened, it wasn't by the military own will
It's why the majority of brazilians are against the US. The US never invested in Brazil and they never tried.
Nah. Brazil is more like Canada. Brazil is the Canada of South America.
@@anonymoususer8895 cool?
That's a bit misinformed and wrong. 1st the military wasn't pro-american at that time, and it was not them that made that flag. 2nd the flag was indeed inspired by the US flag but it was intended as a provisional flag only, because at that moment the new National symbols didn't exist yet so they needed a flag to symbolize the regime change, and the people truly thought the US was the best example of Republic in the world (as it was at that time) so they modeled the provisional flag on the US flag, to say the country is now a Republic too. But again it was never intented to be the actual country's flag, just 4 days later the current flag was ready.
Please make a video about Argetina as the South American Canada. Both countries are also very similar in a same way just like Brazil-USA

Another interesting fact is that during the 1960s the President of Brazil at that time was planning to invade French Guiana in order to annex it. Suddenly that President was replaced by a new one so France didn’t have to face Brazil militarily. I personally believe that French Guiana should not belong to any country. It should become an independent country under the name of Republic of Guiana.
yes, and be even more corrupt and poor

France has too many interests there to let it happen. EU launches its satellites from French Guiana.
@@CursedSwede :Granting independence to French Guiana by France does not necessarily means that France will lose its right to operate the present space center.

@@xrafax22 i would find it kind of offensive, Brazil shouldn't have the USA as a model.

The US is an outdated, warmongering, backwards country. In fact, the world needs Brazil much more than people think :)

Calma, Brasil ain’t Norway lol. More than half your country voted for Jair in the past, and his party now has major influence in Brasil after this last election despite Lula (who is awesome) taking over.

Don’t get me wrong I love Brasil, but Norway it is not lol.
You actually managed to do research and make a long video about Brazil without learning what the largest city in the country is, thats mind boggling
The issue of reaching the other side of the continent to the coast does not necessitate the disappearance of Peru, since the works on the bioceanic route, which will connect the Atlantic coast of Brazil with the Pacific Ocean, are already well advanced, which will bring a great economic development for all participating countries.

Brazil, for some time, had the name United States of Brazil. The Federative Republic of Brazil name came with the new constitution of 1989.
Also, after the takeover of the Brazilian empire to the republic, Brazil also had, for a little time, a very similar flag with the U.S.

Nice video, though a couple corrections: The political division in Brazil is more like South vs North, rather than East vs West, although Northeast states are slightly more left leaning than Northwest states. Also, Rio is not the biggest city. It was in the past, as it was the capital, but it hasn't been for a long while now. The biggest city is São Paulo.
Legally, the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo has 39 municipalities, however, taking into account the Expanded Metropolitan Complex, the region is even larger. If this area were considered on this list, São Paulo would be the third largest city in the world, with more than 27 million inhabitants!
I dont know why many americans think that the oficial language of Brasil is spanish

North America runs more East/West while South America runs more North/South because the Andes is like a huge wall.
In the ranking of the largest economies, the State of São Paulo is the 21st in the world (US$ 603.4 billion). In 2019, São Paulo's GDP grew 2.5% more than twice the national one (1.1%), generating 579 thousand jobs, according to a report by Valor Econômico based on data from the World Bank, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and Seade Foundation. According to the IBC-BR, the Central Bank's index that analyzes the behavior of GDP, growth in São Paulo was even greater: 2.8%. São Paulo's GDP is greater than that of countries such as Poland, Sweden, Belgium, Argentina, Austria, Norway, Ireland, Singapore and Denmark.
The name of the river on the state of Amazonas is River Amazonas (In portuguese: Rio Amazonas). It is one of the most biggest river on the world or even the biggest river on the world.
It is also one of the ways to move around at the Amazon Rainforest biome, because on Brazil, the more far away from the coast, the less rich the area is so the river is like a highway. Pretty cool huh?
Brazil is just not developing because of a political party that dominates the country and has remained in power since 2002, there was a short break due to the opposition winning one of the elections, but they returned to power, even with numerous proofs of corruption, It's more like Italy in South America than US.
You forgot to mention the Triple Alliance War. :P
Actually Rio isn't the biggest city, it's more well know worldwide but São Paulo is actually 3x bigger, which does hurt to say as a carioca (from RJ)
Curious fact is that we also had a lot of civil wars/skirmishes, not different from the USA and other countries. The most recent happening in the 1930 when State of Sao Paulo decleared war to the rest of the country wich was under a dictatorship. Sao Paulo even adopted a flag inspired in the USA (used untill today) as a wish to be a democracy. The was lost even Sao Paulo being (still is) the richest state, but could match the entire country numbers (plus we are not the Israeli army). Minas Gerais (neighbor state) betrayed Sao Paulo as it supposed to support the fight yet the largest attack waves came from there. Other southern states that fought for independence in the past were actually supporting the dictator (he was from one of those states). There are few fortifications around Sao Paulo capital still standing.
