@mi-lo4ec that's what I mean, though. It probably wasn't as high as 70%. The only source for that statistic is the census taken sometime after the war, which seems to have been incomplete due in no small part the destruction caused by the war in the first place. I've seen 30% to 50% suggested as more realistic figures. Don't get me wrong, that's still insanely high, but its possible to recover demographically from that. Once you're hitting 70%, that's neatly impossible.

If anyone is wondering why Portugal agreed to that tiny land given by the pope, Portugal invested a lot into the African, Arabian and Indies (actual India) trade and colonization, so this treaty guaranteed Portuguese monopoly. Nobody at the time knew how big and profitable Americas would be at the time so Spain made a gamble when making the treaty.

I guess the real question is why Portugal's South American territory all stayed in one piece after gaining independence, while Spain's colonies became a bunch of independent countries.

@krasnamerah1926 Месяц назад

Portugal saw them as chains of colonies that needs to interact with each other to foster kindship and lessen the burden from Europe. Spain wanted their colonies to serve Spain first and even making some sort of rivalry between the colonies. Oh, also the rugged terrain impeded communications too and making the regional elites stronger.

@oole0111 Месяц назад

Because of the royal court settling in Rio, and the fact that Portugal's prince declared the independence of Brazil, he reigned for a decade or so.

Месяц назад

In reality, it is for three reasons: first it is because the Portuguese are allies of the United Kingdom (which is why they never conspired against it as happened with Hispanic America); The second is because unlike the Spanish Viceroyalties, which had their own universities and therefore their own nationalist feelings apart from being Spanish, in Brazil the majority went to study in Portugal, to maintain that sense of Portuguese belonging; The third is that they had someone from the royal house who took the reins of Brazil, an idea that the Spanish could not do due to the capture of the king and his son by the French (although in reality it was Charles III of Spain , who several decades ago after the independence of the United States, did not want to carry out the reform that Aranda recommended to him to create three kingdoms in America, governed by his sons and to alleviate future attempts at independence).

@leonardorivelorivelo9253 Месяц назад

Because of a centralized government and ruler. Trying to leave was suicidal, and after a while, the states and territories give up trying. The only territory that was successful was Cisplatina, a.k.a Uruguay, but that was because Brazil kinda wanted them to be a buffer state between them and Argentina and because Uruguay speak spanish.

@braziliantsar Месяц назад

By having a colonial model that helped centralization, mostly. I'm pretty sure that not speaking spanish also helped with some nationalist ideas of keeping the country united to not fall under our neighbors or become divided like them.

Fun fact: Until 1889 Brazil was an empire. First ruled by emperor Pedro I and then by his son, Pedro II respectively. Both of them were immensly popular, so the logical step was to stage a coup and abolish the monarchy, which happened in 1889.

@braziliantsar Месяц назад

What really happened was that Dom Pedro was really unpopular amongst the liberal politicians who were against slavery and pro industrialization. The coup took place because abolishing slavery was the last straw to the farmer oligarchy, who had the strongest lobby in the country. With that, they had no reason the keep the monarchy alive, so with the recent stronger army that was much more centralized after the Triple Alliance war, they did the pressure to depose him and his family.

@nameunknown6453 Месяц назад

@@braziliantsar You got it wrong mate. The *liberals* tended to be more averse to the idea of abolition than the conservatives since the liberals were more linked to the rural elites - so much so that all the abolitionist laws (Lei Eusébio de Queirós, Lei do Ventre Livre, Lei dos Sexagenários and Lei Áurea) were approved in moments in which the *conservative party* controlled parliament and the ministry. The liberals were, at the very least, in favor of a slower abolition process, giving time for the economy of their regions to readapt to the new reality. And the Emperor wasn't unpopuler amongst them, they just wanted the moderating power to be more limited and that the Brazilian government system should be more similar to the Westminster system (British parliamentarism) - Brazilian parliamentarism (or the reverse) was more like semi-presidentialism than parliamentarism.

Fun fact I: as "compensation" for taking so much land off the Tordesillas Treaty, Portugal gave Spain what is now Equatorial Guinea, in Africa. But they were so petty that from the 4 islands of its shore, Portugal gave only the southernmost and the northernmost, and the two remaining formed what is now the country of São Tomé and Príncipe.

@TugaAvenger Месяц назад

0:40 - Brazil was only discovered in 1500, so it's not actually known why Portugal pushed the line west. It may have been only to protect sea lanes, but it always led to speculation Portugal might have known something.

@edmerc92 Месяц назад

The Portuguese had already rounded the Cape of Good Hope in 1487 and knew that the best way to go around Africa was to make a wide sweep to the west to avoid the dangerous ocean currents. It’s very plausible that they ran into South America at some point, but they had no incentive to share this finding with the rest of Europe.

Fun fact II. When negotiating the Tordesillas Treaty, both parts agreed to use Cape Verde as a reference. (The line would be drawn 360 leagues west of it). But after they signed, Portugal claimed that this was not the Cape Verde in Senegal as Spain assumed, bur rather the archipelago of Cape Verde (named after the place in Senegal), much further west, thus giving Portugal a much wider slab of the Brazilian coast.

One correction: Brazil didn't let Uruguay become independent for fear a war against Argentina. In 1828, they was already in war against Argentina from 1825 and they was losing. But Argentina was running out of money and the total victory was still far away, then UK pushed for the independence of Uruguay and UK won.

@lucasithegreat2711 Месяц назад

We were not loosing, the brazilian imperial navy had won most naval battles and had Buenos Aires blockaded which was strangling Argie's economy. And throughout the whole conflict for Uruguay the major cities were kept under brazilian hands and argies couldn't take them. And argies are so pathetic that their greatest military pride was a single skirmish they won in this war, when they stumbled across a brazilian reiforcments force in the countryside of Uruguay and managed to make them retreat (battle of ituzaingo). If it wasn't for Britain's intervention by ending the war prematurely Argentina would loose steam and it woudn't take long for the Empire to gather enough forces for an offensive into argentinian territory considering we had them blockaded, they couldn't kick us out of Uruguay and also couldn't push into Brazil because they didn't have manpower for it. Argentina is pathetic. They think they fought us eye to eye, we think they were a minor inconvenience in that time.

Throughout its history, Brazil engaged in treaties and diplomatic negotiations to acquire or define its borders with neighboring countries. For example, treaties such as the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494), which divided South America between Portugal and Spain, influenced Brazil's territorial boundaries. Diplomatic efforts and agreements with neighboring countries further shaped Brazil's current borders.

@Lusitanean Месяц назад

Actually that’s mostly wrong. Portugal was the one that made most of those treaties. The treaty of Madrid (1750) was the best example of this. A huge swap of land was traded for Cisplatina, which benefited Portugal greatly. A lot of Spaniards were angry for this treaty (rightly so)

It has to do with the way the spanish organized their colonies, the native empires and peoples founded in each region, and specifically in Brazil, the way our elite made a pact with the monarchy after independence, ensuring that every revolt for autonomy or rebellion was crushed. So basically, we as Brazil stayed together by force kkkk the Rio elite enforced its rule over the territory and over time created the sense of unity we share today, for better and for worse kk. In Spanish America, there were multiple centers of power, and those elites each had their own agenda and were powerful enough to revolt and enforce it, which culminated in the creation of multiple states, each one controlled by its corresponding elite
