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.
