In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, the Portuguese colony of modern Brazil was divided into captaincies, royal captaincies, and provinces. In 1822, with independence, Brazil became an empire, and all captaincies were converted into provinces. When Brazil became a republic in 1889 all provinces were turned into states.
