The Colonization of Brazil is the name of the process of settlement, exploitation and domination held by the Portuguese from the sixteenth century in the current Brazilian land. It begins with the arrival of settlers to the new land, inhabited by numerous Indian nations.
One should not confuse the colonization of Brazil to the time of colonial Brazil, since the process of populating and developing the territory began earlier and was beyond the Portuguese occupation, from the Indians until the recent immigrants.
