*Are there any other Territorial Evolutions of countries you'd like to see?*

As an Brazilian I learned more in this video than my entire school time. Thanks Great job

2:26: Pre-European Tribes 2:54: Treaty of Tordesillas 3:47: Portuguese Organization 4:07: Captaincies 5:11: Spanish Control and Reorganization 6:06: Portuguese Recovery 6:38: Sacramento and "Island Brazil" 7:54: Several Territorial Losses 10:15: Creation of Brazilian Empire 11:20: Republic Reorganization 12:32: Present Day

Fun Fact: For a huge part of Brazil's colonial era, the language spoken by most of the population was the "Língua Geral", an adaptation of the old Tupi language. In 1759, the Marquis of Pombal confiscated the goods of the jesuits in the colony, who were the main driving force behind the propagation of the língua geral. After that, the language gradually faded from popular use, but it was still spoken sporadically til the early 20th century.

I'm genuinely impressed by the author's pronunciation of Brazilian state names. Either the author is a Portuguese speaker, or he is incredibly dedicated to respecting the language of the people he is speaking about.

As a Brazilian i congratulate you for the video, it is very complete, even brazilians didn't so complete videos about the theme. I would also like to make two complements, about the capitancies, they are mostly only strait lines, but wete also some physical limits, like rives and hills, betwen they, but it's very difficult to find an accurate map about it and even in brazilian schools this it's not met, so it's fine. Now about the territorial changes, it's not only in the south that separatists moviments happened, south it's just the most longest and sucessfuly, but other moviments like the Ecuator Confederation, Sabinada, Balaida, Cabanagem happened, some of them were conteporany to Farropilha and also had some success, and as a video suggestion, the separatist moviments in Brazil are very interesting, we have a lot of intents in our history, more than US for example, including moviments from our colonial, imperial and republican times.

One of the wonders of history is that a battle that took place in the year 1578 between Morocco and Portugal called the Battle of the Three Kings or the Battle of Al cazar Al kabir played the biggest role in transforming Brazil from a mere Portuguese colony limited to the Atlantic coast to this vast country. Because of the defeat of Portugal in this war, in which King Sebastian and his entourage died, Portugal fell under Spanish control, and the Iberian Union was established. This union, which united the two kingdoms and their colonies, allowed the Portuguese to expand within the continent, guaranteeing to their colony Brazil more lands in the American depth. That's why don't rush things In many cases a defeat can bring more good

saludos desde Colombia hermanos Brasileros y Latinoamericanos

this is great :) plz do one about the top 10 largest countries and the similarities and contrasts between them, like how Canada and Brazil got big via colonialism and China and Russia expanded, and also how they're governed and stuff like that :)

С днём рождения тебя Бразилия 🇧🇷🇧🇷 - удивительная совершенно цифра ровно 200 лет основания государства!!

I would like to point out that two of the biggest players which helped the country to grow into it's enormous size were the catholic missionaries know as "jesuítas" who carried the role of converting natives and the so called "bandeirantes", groups of (often violent) explorers who pushed the borders further from it's orginal size by creating seatlements in the countryside, searching for gold, trading goods and slaves and doing bounty hunts

Feliz Aniversário Brasil 🇧🇷 200 anos (1822-2022) !

I noticed the little joke you made in the thumbnail 🤣 You put the question mark in the state of Acre, that's some internal Brazilian joke, your research was well done 🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻

Brazil in the title ... You've summoned the horde

🇧🇷Thanks and Obrigada! We're the heart of South América and proud of our brave people! Viva o Brasil! Viva a terra de Santa Cruz! 🇧🇷

11:48 As a Brazilian I am really happy you mentioned that the Acre doesn't exist right there... even tho you said it's a myth and everyone knows it to be true.

Eu sei que ele adora falar de Portugal e falar do Brasil tbm é, de certa forma, falar de Portugal, mas ele fez esse vídeo pra gente. ❤🇧🇷

Acho muito foda um português fazer um vídeo sobre a independência do Brasil

Loved it! Thanks for the video for our 200th independence anniversary, Portugal and Brazil are very good friends now, 🇧🇷❤️🇵🇹

The Rio Grande do Sul war lasted a whole decade actually, from 1835 to 1845. There were several revolts in Brazil at the time that almost split the country in many, like had happend with Spanish America. It happens that Dom Pedro I had left to Portugal to fight his usurper brother and establish his daughter as Queen of Portugal. He left his young son in Brazil, but he was not of age, so there was a regency. The situation reached a point where the regency declared the prince as adult when he was still 12 I think, and thus as Emperor Dom Pedro II, so they would have authority over the country again.

Good and interesting information your videos has, what may never be needed. However, they can be valuable in a pub conversation.

As a goiano born before the creation of Tocantins y may say “make Goiás great again!” :D

Fun fact: the italian hero giuseppe garibaldi supported the sepperatists of rio grande do sul. garibaldi was the main force behind the italian national unification. he also participated in some wars in uruguay and the french-prussian war.

E o nosso ouro, vai devolver quando? Haha. Brincadeira. Ótimo vídeo, como sempre. Abraço da ex-colônia!

Great video. Would love to hear more about Brazil!

Your pronunciation of the letter r and the diphtongs and nasal diphtongs of Portuguese names is perfect👏

Excelente vídeo!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Muito obrigado pelo vídeo!

*The Federative Republic of Brazil 🇧🇷* ○ 26 States ○ 1 District

The last official attempt to change Brazil's internal organization was, I believe, already in the 21st century. There was a talk in the Parliment to create 2 new states, Tapajós and Carajás in northern Brazil, where today lies the state of Pará.

3:19 it's funny because this happened before the "discovery" of brazil in 1500, when they (supposedly) had no idea of the extension of the americas.

Venham todos pro Brasil precisamos de imigrantes temos milhões de postos de trabalho e temos muita água limpa e muita comida todos são bem-vindos no Brasil 🇧🇷😊🤗

Wow! Better than any Brazilian history teachers I had!

Amazing video and I’d love to see a Guyana history video

Could you put subtitles in Portuguese too, I like the channel

would be interesting to see how much of that territory they actually controlled through time (same for most South American countries) and how much was just on paper. Most started with overlapping claims over big areas that neither had a presence in

Thank you so much for that homage about our bicentennial

Just a quick note. Actually the main reason why we say that Acre does not exist is because in the process of colonisation thousands of settlers moved to the region in hope to get rich and go back to their states but actually really few if any managed to do that. So the saying that Acre does not exist came to be due to lack of feedback from the migrants to the region. Btw, Acre had it first road built connecting to another only last year 2021.

Can you do an video of Territorial Evolution of Mexico - Mexican Empire

Great video! Beautiful images

Brazil annexed Acre, former Bolivian territory, in 1903

Very interesting. Thanks for this video!

As a brazilian, thank you for this video, amazing!

The reason the captaincies were straight lines is very simple: they had NO FUCKING CLUE about what lied in-land. They only knew the coasts. So they just divided the coast by slices based on latitude that run inland until the Tordesilla treaty line. For all they knew, there could be a giant interior sea, or huge mountain chain impossible to cross.

thank you!! much love from brazil!! 💚❤💚

Please make a follow-up video about the Guiana's

I love Brazil!

One mistake at 3:04, you said 1494 but in the video is written 1534, about the treaty of Tordesilhas

Ok, if this GIF is right the state I'm from, Rio Grande do Norte, in the time just Rio Grande, has the same borders as today since 1590 which is crazy!

Early Brazil lines makes Africa's borders look thoughtfully made

It can be said that Brazil owns a lot of its coast colonization to France and the Netherlands... Portugal founded lots and lots of setlements along the coast (to protect against those nations), at set intervals starting at the end of the 16th century and ending in the 18th, when it started to focus more in the interior after gold was found in Minas Gerais...

11:50 only Brazilians will underestand this joke xD

ótimo vídeo muito obrigado

Saudações do Brasil.

Queen Elizabeth kind of related to brazilian king had died after one day Brazil declared independence 200 years ago , a miracle

lmao the "?" in acre, even foreigners know the meme im dead 🤣

God bless the Federative Republic of Brazil.

Very nice video. But as someone from São Paulo I just think that you should have mentioned the huge importance of São Paulo and the Bandeirantes for the expansion of the Portuguese America.

Countless people tried to prove the existence of acre none came back

Wait wasn't the Treaty of Tordesillas signed in 1494?

Nice video

Can you make a video about my micronation?

One for Mexico, pls?

Can you do evolution of USA but US States?

yes to the Guyanas video

General Knowledge is a Portuguese man. I seen lots of Brazilians hating the Portuguese. Why? While the US-Americans joke about the British but they don't genuinely hate them.

10:49 The Ragamuffin War lasted a whole decade, making it the longest war Brazil ever fought, what do you mean by "quickly defeated after a few years"????

Brasil

Brazil is at it's greatest extension nowadays. =D

a correction: the treaty of tordesillas was signed not because of the Brazilian coast, but because of the cape verde colony in Asia. the increase in Brazilian territory was pure chance.

Love it

Love Brazil from Turkiye 🌝

10:55 The Riograndense Army shows German flags. Do you know the reason? The flag of the republic had been quite different. Interesting video. Have a nice day. 🖐👴

S

Ei general o Acre na thumb sumiu kkkk

If it was called united states of brazil it would be called the usb.

Cisplatina it’s a Vietnam of Brazil, lose you territorial integrity war Provinces United ( Arg and Uru future) and Intervention of England

A little odd…the lack of acknowledgment of existing indigenous territories….

O ACRE NA THUMB KKKKKKK

Come to Brazil!

E

Fascinating video, I would like to see a video on what if India broke up

10:55 was it a coincidence the rebels used the later German colors as their flag?

Just one day later, queen elizabeth died... F

P

i'm just happy são Paulo and rio have there since the start

as a brazilian we lost 2 world cups because uruguay got his independence

thanks

Argentina next please

A decent Portuguese pronunciation for a Gringo

Hi. I'm just wondering if you as a Portuguese speaker can thrill your R as a Spanish speaker would. I noticed that Portuguese speakers (from Portugal at least, not Brazilians) have in my opinion a hard time pronouncing Spanish names. Example would be you saying Río de la Plata. You pronounce the R with an "H" sound. I don't notice Brazilians having a hard time pronouncing it with a rolled "R" sound like Spanish speakers do. Also, I live in Galicia, so we're neighbours caralho 🤣. Hope I get a chance to meet you in person.

Do germany

5:24 My man Beresford

noice

Some states of Brazil was part of the Spanish empire give them back Brazil

Talk about their accents too

About Uruguay (Cisplatin). Cisplatin declared independence from Brazil and Union with Argentina (Provincias Unidas do Prata). Brazil defeated both Cisplatina and Argentina, but understanding that Uruguay was never truly part of Brazil, an agreement was made to shorten the war and guarantee a buffer state (and puppet), which is Uruguay. It is important to say this because Brazil would go from being a colony to an explicit imperialist power, keeping Uruguay, but we managed this situation as masters, guaranteeing control of the Rio de la Plata and avoiding the image of a conqueror.

It was not a feudal organization

You displayed the British flag and said "English". English and British are not synonyms. General knowledge?

And we never payed Bolivia for purchasing Acre hahaha
