Portugal

• Portugal, officially the Portuguese Republic (República Portuguesa) is a country situated in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula.

• In the 15th and 16th centuries, as the result of pioneering the Age of Discover, Portugal expanded western influence and established a global empire that included possessions in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and South America.

Brazil

• Brazil was a colony of Portugal from the landing of Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500 until 1815, when it was elevated to the rank of kingdom and the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves was formed. The colonial bond was in fact broken in 1808, when the capital of the Portuguese colonial empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, after Napoleon invaded Portugal.

Portugal-Brazil Relations

• Brazil–Portugal relations have spanned over four centuries, beginning in 1532 with the establishment of São Vicente, the first Portuguese permanent settlement in the Americas, up to the present day. Relations between the two are intrinsically tied because of the Portuguese Empire. They continue to be bound by a common language and ancestral lines in Portuguese Brazilians, which can be traced back hundreds of years.
