The History of brazil:
The History of Brazil begins with the arrival of the first indigenous peoples , over 8,000 years ago by crossing the Bering land bridge into Alaska coming from the North and Central Americas.It is widely accepted that the first European to discover Brazil was Portuguese Pedro Álvares Cabral on April 22 , 1500 . From the 16 th to the 19 th centuries, Brazil was a colony of Portugal. On September 7 , 1822 , the country declared its independence from Portugal and became a constitutional monarchy, the Empire of Brazil . A military coup in 1889 established a republican government. The country has been nominally a democratic republic ever since, except for three periods of overt dictatorship.
