3. Portugal
• Portugal, officially the Portuguese Republic
(República Portuguesa) is a country situated in
southwestern Europe on the Iberian
Peninsula.
• In the 15th and 16th centuries, as the result of
pioneering the Age of Discover, Portugal
expanded western influence and established a
global empire that included possessions in
Africa, Asia, Oceania, and South America.

6. Brazil
• Brazil was a colony of Portugal from the
landing of Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500 until
1815, when it was elevated to the rank of
kingdom and the United Kingdom of
Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves was formed.
The colonial bond was in fact broken in
1808, when the capital of the Portuguese
colonial empire was transferred from Lisbon
to Rio de Janeiro, after Napoleon invaded
Portugal.

8. Portugal-Brazil Relations
• Brazil–Portugal relations have spanned over
four centuries, beginning in 1532 with the
establishment of São Vicente, the first
Portuguese permanent settlement in the
Americas, up to the present day. Relations
between the two are intrinsically tied because
of the Portuguese Empire. They continue to be
bound by a common language and ancestral
lines in Portuguese Brazilians, which can be
traced back hundreds of years.
