Answer below.

The Portuguese arrived in Brazil in 1500 on their way to India. On their way to a South route to get to Asia, they acquired a wealth of knowledge about navigation and the geography of the Atlantic Ocean. They relied heavily on the slavery of Africans and the slavery of the Brazilian natives. In the 1690s and 1720s gold and diamonds were discovered. They began to export 30,000 pounds of gold a year to Portugal. People from all over began to come. Painters, sculptors, and carpenters all came to build cities in the wilderness of Brazil.
