Answer:
The European countries that established colonies in Brazil and Cuba were Spain and Portugal.
Step-by-step explanation:
-Brazil, until then inhabited by indigenous people, had its first contact with Europeans in 1500 through a Portuguese expedition led by Pedro Álvares Cabral. After the Treaty of Tordesillas, the Brazilian territory was the segment of the American continent that corresponded to the kingdom of Portugal, from which it gained its independence on September 7, 1822.
-Prior to the period of the Spanish colonization of America that started in the sixteenth century, the current Cuban territory was inhabited by various Amerindian peoples. Cuba remained as a Spanish colony until 1869, and as a Spanish province until the Spanish-American War of 1898, unleashed from the intervention of the United States in the Cuban War of Independence. The American triumph led to nominal de facto independence as a United States protectorate in 1902.
