A BRIEF HISTORY

The First of these cycles was based on the exportation of Brazil-wood, used to make



dyes and paints. During the 17th century, Brazil became the world's largest  producer of sugar.  In this period, a large number  of  African slaves  were  brought  to  Brazil to work in the sugar cane plantations.  Gold and diamonds eventually replaced sugar as the country's major export product.  By the second half of the 19th century,  Brazil was deep into a new cycle with  coffee  as  the  major  export.  Today,  coffee is still one of Brazil's major sources of income.  The  late  19th-century  rubber  boom  also brought prosperity   and   development  to  the   north  of  Brazil,    previously   ignored  by  the international economy.

When  Napoleon  invaded  Portugal  in  the  early  1800's,    Dom  João  VI,    King  of Portugal, fled to Brazil where the Portuguese court continued to run the empire. Ports were  opened  to  international   (mostly British)  commerce,    and   the  colony  grew substantially.   In  1789,  one  of   Brazil's  first  movements   for   independence   from Portugal  was  crushed.  Its  hero,   Tiradentes,  became  a  national symbol of liberty. Independence was finally proclaimed by Dom Pedro I (Dom João's son) in 1822.  He became Brazil's first Emperor. His son, Dom Pedro II, reigned for 49 years until 1899 when  the  country  becomes  a  Republic.  In 1888,  slavery  was  abolished.

In 1940 Brazil  began  a  new  phase characterized by industrial development.  At the same time, agricultural technology advances  giving further  impetus  to  the industrial surge and accelerating financial expansion.   In  spite  of  a  large  and  ever  growing internal  domestic  market,  Brazil continues  to  be  a  major  exporter  of  agricultural products as well as manufactured items such as heavy  machinery,  shoes  and  steel products.

On April 21st, 1792 (today the date of a national holiday in Brazil), Tiradentes was hanged in Rio de Janeiro, in the plaza today named Praça Tiradentes.

Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, known as Tiradentes (August 16, 1746-April 21, 1792), was part of the Brazilian seditious movement known as the Inconfidência Mineira. This was the important in the development of feelings of national independence.

Tiradentes means "tooth puller", a pejorative denomination adopted during the trial against him.

Tiradentes noticed the exploitation to which Brazilians were submitted; he was seeing how much gold was leaving Brazil, and he knew how valuable it was.

The plan of Tiradentes was, in a day of derrama (when the sentiment of revolt of Brazilians would be stronger), to take the streets of Vila Rica and proclaim the Brazilian Republic. The movement, however, was denounced to the governor, who cancelled the derrama scheduled for February of 1789 and ordered the imprisonment of the rebels.
