Question

When gold was found in Brazil in the 1690’s, this country was finally recognized for its

mineral and trading potential. Approximately a century later, though, it was clear that the

gold deposits were limited and that the agricultural value of this country remained its main

asset. Napoleon Bonaparte arrived in 1807 and the Prince Regent, Dom Joao, arrived

shortly thereafter. When Dom Joao returned to Portugal in 1821, he left Brazil in the hands

of his son, Dom Pedro. However, when the king tried to return to what was, essentially,

his territory (Brazil), his son rebelled, declaring this country’s independence from Portugal.

Portugal was experiencing a massive economic crisis at this time, leading to a mass

move of these people into South America, where they saw the potential to trade and to

settle on safe, fertile land.
