About this poster
Colonial Foundations Brazil's recorded history begins with Cabral's 1500 landing, launching three centuries of Portuguese rule built on sugar, gold, and the forced labor of enslaved Africans and Indigenous peoples. Salvador and later Rio anchored a vast colony that would become Portugal's crown jewel.
Empire and Independence The arrival of the fleeing Portuguese court in 1808 transformed Rio into an imperial capital, setting the stage for Dom Pedro I's 1822 declaration of independence. Brazil stood apart as a monarchy in a republican continent, until the abolition of slavery in 1888 and the fall of the throne a year later.
Republic, Dictatorship, and Renewal The young republic swung between populist strongmen and military rule, from Getúlio Vargas's rise in 1930 to the coup of 1964 and its two-decade dictatorship. The bold construction of Brasília symbolized ambitions of a modern interior nation.
Democracy and Modern Challenges The return to civilian rule in 1985 and the inflation-crushing Real Plan of 1994 stabilized a maturing democracy. Yet turbulence endured, as the 2016 impeachment of Dilma Rousseff showed the enduring tensions of Brazilian political life.
