Why was Brazil a Portuguese colony and not spanish?

Yes, Brazil was part of the Portuguese Empire and not the Spanish Empire. The Treaty of Tordesillas divided the Spanish Empire into the west of the line, and the Portuguese Empire to the east of the line. Unforunately, Portugal didn't get as much as Spain did. Brazil's official and national language is Portuguese. Due to the fact the Spain had much more territory than Portugal, Brazil is the only Portuguese speaking country in South America. Aboult 50% of South Americans speak Spanish. About 40% Portuguese since Brazil is a really big country surrounded by small Spanish speaking countries. The other 10% are French, English and dialects. Guyana and French Guiana are not Spanish speaking, they are French speaking countries.
