Brazil was discovered by a Portuguese man called Pedro Alvares Cabral. In Addition: No one "purchased" Brazil. Brazil was claimed by Portugal in 1500. Brazil proclaimed independence from Portugal on Sept. 7, 1822.
The new continent discovered back in the 1500 was America.: North , Central and South. At that time there weren't countries as we know today. Brazil was formed along the time quite the same way USA and other countries were. The portuguese people (citizens of Portugal) established their domain area in south america and there were not a conquest as you suggest, such as a war to invade a pre-existent country. The Portuguese who settled here along with other ethnic groups formed the Brazilian people speaking the Portuguese language.
I personally think that the language the people in Brazil speak is Portuguese but, if you think differently just sign up and answer in your own way =)
Brazil is a former Portuguese colony. The country was claimed for Portugal by Pedro Álvares Cabral [ca. 1468 - ca. 1520] in April 1500. Colonial status essentially ended with Brazil's declaration of independence on September 7, 1822.
