In current Brazil, we the people want to separate parts of the country due to cultural differences. We the people want to make a friendly environment for everyone and by that way, we the people demand the independence of both the North and the South. To me, big countries are dangerous to human rights and they oppress the regional cultures. In name of diversity, progressivism, religion tolerance, love and not hegemony, we request the liberty. I am from the South.

Fun fact II. When negotiating the Tordesillas Treaty, both parts agreed to use Cape Verde as a reference. (The line would be drawn 360 leagues west of it. But after they signed, Portugal claimed that this was not the Cape Verde in Senegal as Spain assumed, bur rather the archipelago of Cape Verde (named after the place in Senegal, much further west, thus giving Portugal a much wider slab of the Brazilian coast.

I kind of feel that just glossing over all the border disputes and territorial takeovers Brazil did against Bolivia, Peru, Colombia and Paraguay were a bit of a disservice to the goal of this video. Many of those lands were not really contested, but clearly belonging to the former Spanish colonies and Brazil still managed to prevail and get them and it would have been nice to see how.

How was that initial line between Spanish and Portuguese claims decided It seems so very arbitrary, especially given how little knowledge of where the actual land was at that time; I wanted to say that a horizontal line somewhere would have made more sense, but they didn't know it would so why would they have picked either horizontal or vertical or diagonal or what and where

Part of the 1750 agreement was that in order to honor the spirit of the treaty that saw the pope divide the world between the two, Spain would be entitled to their own piece of the old world if Portugal was to keep their piece of the new world. Thus, Spain's ownership over the Philippines was finally recognised after 200 years of them already having it.

The ibdependence of Uruguay wasn't agreed upon. There was a war beetwen Brazil and some revolutionaries supported by Argentina and who wanted to join the government in Buenos Aires. That continued until Argentina decided to participate more directly in the conflict. As neither size won the war they decided to keep Uruguay as a buffer beetwen them

Actually the last border change happened in the now state of Acre, the westernest state of the country. It was part of Bolivia until 1899, when it declared it's independence, and after that was occupied by brazilian troops. Both countries came to an agreement called the Treaty of Petropolis in 1903 and Acre became a part of Brazil.

The Iberian Union was a territorial blessing for the future Brazil it allowed Portuguese-Brazilian explorer-trekkers (the Bandeirantes) to reach from the River Plate to the uncolonized North-Center interior of South America at a time when the Spanish were busy making colonies and mining enterprises in the surrounding Andean regions

Here is a question: when they came up with the Treaty of Tordesillas, did they know that little bit of South America was in the Portuguese portion, or did they think they were drawing a line so Spain got the entire Western Hemisphere, and Portugal the Eastern Hemisphere, because that bit of land hadn't been discovered yet

5th time asking. In the 19th century, social, political & economic upheaval in Europe led to mass migration from Ireland, Germany & Italy to the United States.
But the US never saw immigration on the same scale coming from France or Spain, even though both countries went through the same upheavals. Why is that

A really interesting video would be about the portuguese civil war of 1832, which was literally a brother war between the liberal Dom Pedro I of Brazil and the conservative Dom Miguel, his younger brother. The whole war sounds like a novel, but it really happenend

You just missed a small little thing, the last border agreement was actually with Bolivia over a place called Acre (which doesn't exist btw. It was settled in 1903 with Brazil getting the whole territory and only paying 2 million pounds and a singular horse

2: 12 Since the Portuguese royal family fled to Brazil during the Napoleonic War, can you really say that Brazil broke away from Portugal Would it not be more correct to say that people in Portugal did not want to be ruled from Rio de Janeiro

Fun fact: Until 1889 Brazil was an empire. First ruled by emperor Pedro I and then by his son, Pedro II respectively. Both of them were immensly popular, so the logical step was to stage a coup and abolish the monarchy, which happened in 1889.

Small correction. Brazil was never the size of that first sliver of land as that mao was never agreed upon by the two parts, that was what the Pope (a spanish) suggested but was never relevant as Portugal didn't accept it

0: 40 - Brazil was only discovered in 1500, so it's not actually known why Portugal pushed the line west. It may have been only to protect sea lanes, but it always led to speculation Portugal might have known something.

0: 39 but the treaty of Tordesillas was made in 1494 right, 6 years before the discovery of Brazil. So it didn't give any land at that side of the Atlantic to Portugal, they just assumed there wasn't anything that close by

One thing I find humorous about the Treaty of Tordesillas is that Portugal claimed that it entitled them to ALL of Africa.
Pretty significant rules lawyering, and it didn't work out, but it's very audacious!

Weirdly, I was thinking about Brazil the other day & wondering if you'd do a video on why all of the Spanish colonies ended up as separate nations but the Portuguese colony stayed as one state. Pourquoi
