That is a very true story. Portuguese worked exactly like that in the Discoveries period. However, when natives of new lands did not accept gifts, the best naval fleet and best soldiers in the world at that time would get in action. This happened in several regions in all continents. I love to study the history of the Portuguese Empire, and Portugal herself, and when I realize how much we had and how much we lost, it breaks my heart!
+Marco Ávila, the Brazilian natives (Tupi-Guarani) ACCEPTED the portuguese's gift... I think the Portuguese had former experiences in contact foreigners (with mercantilism) in West Africa ― before went to South America.
This method expanded eastward as well. Portugal tried to get self-favoring trade agreements with the indigenous populaces of the nations of the Indian Ocean. When they didn't reach an accord with the natives, the portuguese took the trading ports by assault. Such is the case of Malacca and Ormuz, if I remember correctly. There are many others though (portuguese trade settlements by the Indian Ocean).
He wasn't telling the whole historical fact. He was telling how people are easily manipulated into thinking that Govts or leaders that come bearing gifts as if they are kind hearted by nature, actually have hidden agendas that concludes with them owning the peope!!!
Every single word he says is all true. Give the people a reward and then if they aren't intelligent enough to realize what it is they have to loss remind them of it. If that doesn't work. Then you use violence to terrorize them. So that you can regain control over them by keeping them in their place. Which is always and forever under your thumb. A definite form of slavery and terror but is still extremely effective even in the world of today.
This is exactly what China has done with the belt and road initiative, through investments and "gifts", the countries that accepted the Chinese offers are now essentially enslaved to the CCP.
You just resumed socialism in past 50 years in our country, subsidy dependency enough for the most people to live and keep them poor, dependent on the state and stupid, brainwashed.
@@luisantos1996 I'm not denying that it is a shit form of government. Unfortunately these type of tactics are still widely used in the modern world. When you consider the time in history that the original Portuguese settlers came to Brazil. The ideas they used were very much ahead of their time. Most of the original European settlers were content to slaughter the native tribes throughout the world than fool them into slavery.
João Barbosa É portuguesa dos quatro costados. Ouvi o pai dela, que é médico, a contar como ela gradualmente ensina português ao marido gringo e ao filho. True story.

Enfim, mal posso discordar deste facto. Há verdades que é melhor não saber? Decerto... Sabes que mais? Não sou muito de enfiar a cabeça na areia, tipo avestruz, digo-te ; qualquer verdade para despertar os adormecidos é boa para contar. Obrigado pela tua postagem Joel. Cumprimentos.
André Sagat Sim André, pode ser ....se permitires, talvez seja pela forma que o brasileiro médio continue de encarar-se hodiernamente, quero dizer ; a maioria da gente por cá desvaloriza-se, deixando assim ainda mais poder aos opressores. Não existe oprimidos se ninguém estiver disposto a endossar este papel. Enfim, diga-se por sinal, eu, não sou brasileiro nem português, apenas um terráqueo que gosta de partilhar as suas próprias experiências vividas sobre o solo da *terra santa* , nada mais, e tudo isso. Um grande abraço, tem uma esplendorosa tarde. Silvestre~ muito grato.
@@alumrof101 Não dê atenção a esse brasileiro burro! A história que ele aprendeu foi a história reescrita pelos marxistas que denigrem a nossa origem luso-btasileira. Os marxistas infelizmente assumiram o controle educacional do Brasil para caluniarem e difamarem nossa fé cristã e sociedade. O ouro que os portugueses levaram não pertenciam ao Brasil porque naquela época não existia o Brasil. Brasil é um conceito político complexo que só passou a existir bem depois da descoberta do ouro. O que existia na época era uma selva sem lei com povos altamente primitivos que não eram exatamente donos da terra porque eram semi-nômades, não valorizavam o ouro e eram ecologicamente incorretos pois realizavam queimadas propositais que às vezes o fogo fugia do controle, nas atividades de caça destruiam o solo com a monocultura de mandioca que esgotavam os nutrientes do solo deixando-os estéreis. Portugal é um país que tem mais razão de se orgulhar do que se envergonhar. Foi profundamente humilhado por séculos pelos mouros e depois de expulsá-los, quebrou a espinha dorsal do país mais poderoso e opressor da época (Império Otomano) e dominou o país mais rico (Índia) enquanto DESCOBRIU todo um planeta desconhecido interligando povos e culturas. A história que o cara aprendeu na escola é aquela que vê luta de classes em tudo estereotipando portugueses como burgueses ricos e opressores e índios e negros como bonzinhos e coitadinhos.
@@SagatBordyev O que o brasileiro deveria saber é que é um povo que precisa criar vergonha na cara, assumir suas responsabilidades como povo e deixar de culpar povo X ou povo Y pelos seus infortúnios. Esse seu comentário foi altamente ofensivo, preconceituoso e burro. A maioria do povo brasileiro é bom e de boa vontade, se não tivesse a opressão desses políticos bandidos e corruptos seríamos um povo mais desenvolvido e livre.
+André Sagat the goverment made schools, hospitals, roads etc. in Turkey but last 2-3 years they put their own guys to the courts, to police, to media. Nowadays people can not charge the goverment or their man for any crime even lots of strong solidd evidence in the case.
+Berk Karataş the 'bolivarians' (leftists) did (and still doing) THE SAME in South America... But I think the problem in Turkey is worser: near the country are ISIS/D.A.E.S.H., Iran, Iraq, Russia, Israel... and the Islamism.
@@1983jumbo you right Berk... And believe me I know I lived for 6 years in Istanbul. But this goes back to Portuguese history and colonizer times... Where turkey was not even turkey but ottoman empire (if I'm not mistaken) :/
Unlike Spanish America, Brazil has little influence from native indigenous culture. Brazil was also occupied by French, Dutch, among others. In the end, it became a single country, different from Spanish America divided into several small and even poorer countries.
@@MarceloMotaRibeirothis is not true. Amerindian influence in Brazil is strong ― depending on which part of Brazil you analyze ... For example, the Brazilian Amazonian Culture is Amerindian. The culture of the Brazilian Pantanal has a strong indigenous charge ― as does the 'Gaúcho' culture of Rio Grande do Sul (which exists more in the region of the Jesuit Missions and in the Pampa)
O filme deixa claro que brasileiros falam português, enquanto tem gente achando que a gente fala espanhol, italiano e sabe-se lá mais o que kkkkkkkkkkkk
We were an imperial power... Shared the world with the Spanish with Tordesilhas treaty. Hard to believe what we re now. But one thing is sure... We re full of history. Much more than those.imperial powers now...
Hey that's the Democratic National Party, except they tried the Spaniards way and lost and then came back with the Portuguese method and have even more slaves now
go study boy...Portugal gave independence to Brazil when Napoleon's troops invaded Portugal and the fearful king fled to Brazil... The king gave independence to Brazil and left Portugal being attacked... "In 1807, Napoleon Bonaparte ordered the invasion of Portugal, and subsequently the Royal Family sought refuge in Brazil. This would also be a cause of the declaration of independence of Brazil by Pedro Infante in 1822, after a liberal revolution in Portugal. " (from history of Brazil)
Yeap go study... It was a Portuguese who gave independance to your country... infact (We) shaped it, otherwise probably at this time you would be speaking spanish and brazil eventually wouldnt even exist...
According to the Treaty of Tordesillas, Brazil should have 1/3 of the area it currently has... Therefore, the Portuguese indigenous policy was MORE EFFICIENT than the Castilian one.
cute story but not the righy history. the spanish and portuguese split the places to explore them selves like every european country did to africa. portuguese used lot of violence also and the spanish wiped indians way more powerful than brazilians, like the aztec. so if the spanish went to brazil they would butcher brazilian natives without a sweat
We didn't split the places, we split the known world with the Spanish. And at this.moment Brazilians should thank the Portuguese because with much less violence than the Spanish we ve shaped the biggest country in south America.
You're wrong. The Portuguese, in the decades before the discovery of Brazil, tried to dominate West Africans by force ― in which they were unsuccessful (since the sub-Saharan people already had the Iron technology). As they were unable to do so, the Portuguese stopped fighting against sub-Saharan Africans and started to make simple trade in goods (barter), but in a favorable way. Upon arriving in the New World, the Portuguese used barter with the natives of Brazil, as they feared that if they tried to dominate them by force as they tried to do with sub-Saharan Africans, they would counterattack them with iron weapons ― although they discovered more late that the Amerindians did NOT have the Iron technology. And as the Portuguese experienced that barter with native Brazilians was favorable, they preferred to act as corruptors (while the Amerindians were corrupt), rather than dominators/conquerors ― as the Spaniards did in the parts of the Americas where they colonized.
@@JoaoPiresjlrpires, NOT. The Portuguese Army tried ― briefly ― to maintain the provinces of Bahia, Maranhão, Piauí and Pará (which at that time represented the entire Brazilian Amazon), and maintained the Cisplatina Province for some years. In Bahia, the Bahians defeated the Portuguese troops at Battle of Pirajá ― thanks to a Portuguese who started a family in Brazil and became a "Brazilian at heart", Corporal Lopes. In Piauí, the Brazilians had a tactical defeat (which proved to be a pyrrhic strategic victory) at the Battle of Jenipapo. And in Maranhão and Pará, the newly created Brazilian Fleet took the capitals of their respective provinces (São Luís and Belém) by storm, thanks to the boldness and skill of Admiral Cochrane ― a Scottish who was the "1st Admiral of the Brazilian Navy". And "thanks" to the permanence of the Portuguese troops in the Cisplatina Province, the effort made by the Brazilian Army to expel them allowed the Hispanic-Platines (the "33 Orientals") from Buenos Aires to start a war that, as it would end in a draw, resulted in the loss definitely that Brazil had such a region ― and that would become the Oriental Republic of Uruguay. In other words: if it were not for the war between Brazilian and Portuguese troops (who resisted full Brazilian independence), Brazil would not only dominate the hydrography of the Amazon Basin, but also the mouth of the Platine Basin.
Spaniards didnt go to Brazil because the Portuguese didnt let the spanish go to Brazil... the differences between militaries at that time were not as visible as they re now and the Portuguese had much more experience in colonization than the spanish... being one of the first countries to explore the unknown world, inventors of the first navigation instrument (probably consequently) the astrolabium.
