Portugal colonized Brazil in 1500.

In 1494 two kingdoms of Iberian Peninsula split the New World between the two and in 1500, Pedro Álvares Cabral claimed what is now Brazil to king Manuel I of Portugal.

Portugal colonized Brazil in 1500.

Brazil still continues to speak the Portuguese language today. Showing the huge influence Portugal had on Brazil.

I hope this helps!
