   Extractions: This article is the first part of a four part series in commemoration of Brazil's 500th anniversary. (Brazil's actual birthday date is April 22, 2000) There was no unity in Brazil in 1822 or before 1822. The north of Brazil had better communications with Europe than with Rio de Janeiro. — He unified a very large country with his exceptional political savvy and statesmanship skills, with a small army, with a small navy and with almost no bloodshed. In 1822 at the time of the Brazilian independence from Portugal, the north of Brazil was precariously connected to the south. The king of Portugal preferred to keep the Captaincies (States) isolated and ignorant of one another. Royal edicts of 1614 and 1620 prohibited a governor-general from one Captaincy to visit another Captaincy in Brazil without permission from Portugal." To put things in the right perspective let's review some facts and some other events which where happening around the 1820's. "The United States in the 1820's was a country half of today's size. The United States consisted of its thirteen original states. It had also acquired a new piece of land by the Treaty of Versailles in 1783, the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803 and Florida in 1819 from Spain. Even if we added the newly purchased lands to the United States, the U.S. still was half of the size of Brazil in 1822, the time of Brazilian independence. Spanish America broke up into various republics and their independence was as follows: Paraguay (1811), Argentina (1816), Chile (1818), Colombia (1819), Ecuador (1822), Peru (1824), Bolivia (1825), and Venezuela (1830). The independence of these countries from Spain was accomplished with a twenty year civil war in that region of South America and split Spanish America into eight independent republics. Uruguay got its independence in 1828 from Brazil."

   Extractions: Under Construction Joaquim Jose da Silva Xavier , also known as Tiradentes (Tooth Puller) was the leader of the first organized movement against Portuguese rule in Brasil in 1789. He was born in 1748 near Sao Joao del Rei in Minas Gerais . He was reasonably well educated and worked as a physician, merchant and dentist. Influenced by the American Revolution and the French Philosophes he organized the Inconfidencia Mineira in Minas Gerais advocating complete independence from Portugal. An attempt by Portuguese officials to collect back taxes (not too different from the collection of tea taxes in the 13 American colonies) touched off the call for the rebellion. The crown quickly and easily crushed the uprising, jailing the conspirators and brutally executing Tiradentes two years later. At his trial he nobly and eloquently defended the republican cause. He was publicly hanged in Rio on April 21, 1792. To frighten the population into complete submission Portuguese authorities ordered his body to be cut into pieces and to be prominently displayed along posts in city boulevards. Tiradentes martyrdom made him a national hero. Thirty years after his death the king designate of Portugal declared Brasil's independence and became its first emperor. April 21 is a national holiday.

    Extractions: William B. Greenlee (1872-1953) was a Newberry Library Trustee whose generosity greatly enhanced the Library's collections. Greenlee was an interested amateur student who studied Portuguese and Brazilian history in the Ayer Collection, meanwhile collecting books on his own. In 1937 he transferred his Portuguese library to the Newberry, where he worked among his books, selecting new titles and editing a volume of voyages to Brazil for the Hakluyt Society. The collection, numbering over 10,000 volumes, is particularly strong in these areas: While purposely not focussing on first editions of old and rare books, the Greenlee Collection has been built into one of the world's finest working libraries of Luso-Brasilian research materials. In addition to print material, the Greenlee collection contains 226 Portuguese manuscripts, 1660-1815. The acquisition of over 15,000 16th through 19th century Portuguese leaflets, pamphlets and booklets in recent years, has added further research depth to this great collection. Greenlee collection acquisitions to 1978 are described in A Catalogue of the William B. Greenlee Collection of Portuguese History and Literature and the Portuguese Materials in the Newberry Library

    Extractions: Was King Over a period of 10 years, starting December 13, 1968, Brazil lived under AI-5 (Ato Institucional No. 5—Institutional Act Number 5), a presidential decree that suspended the constitution, disbanded Congress, and created the so-called previous censorship all in the name of "the defense of the necessary interests of the nation." Created in 1960 and elevated to an art form during the military dictatorship (1964-1985), on June 18 the office of censor was eliminated from the Brazilian bureaucracy. That was the day the Câmara dos Deputados (House of Representatives) approved a law extinguishing the post. But not before the institution had created some of the most unbelievable and hilarious-to-the-point-of-absurd pages of Brazilian history. However, the Censorship Department, a branch of the Federal Police, was legally extinct in 1988 when the new Brazilian constitution went into effect. In 1973, for example, an order from the Departamento de Censura da Polícia Federal (Federal Police Department of Censorship) barred the media from reporting on a meningitis epidemic. Declarations by members of the progressive clergy were forbidden and bishops who demanded more justice and a better distribution of the wealth, like Hélder Câmara and Pedro Casaldáliga, couldn't even be mentioned in the media. In May, 1974, a bus strike paralyzed São Paulo, but nobody heard a word about it through the media.

    Extractions: for ever As in other parts of the world, 1968 was an eventful year in Brazil. After four years under a military dictatorship there was a brief spring of popular discontent. Songs defied the status quo, students went to the streets to protest. Demonstrations were violently repressed and artists were silenced. In a final response, the military shut down Congress, imposed censorship, and banned, exiled and jailed those it considered a threat. Kirsten Weinoldt " They thought that they could change society permanently. They really believed in the perfection of society and perhaps in the perfection of man, and we know over and over again throughout history, Utopianism is a very dangerous business. It leads directly to coercion and violence."

    Extractions: Brazilian History BACK The Inconfidência Mineira He was hanged as a scapegoat of the Inconfidência Mineira and the image that people have in mind today was only created to make a martyr out of him in the fight for independence, thus stimulating the subsequent attempts to break away from Portuguese rule. To understand this a bit better, we need to return to how the story actually begins. At that time, Portugal's economy was in a shambles and expenses were covered by extracting all the riches it could from its colonies - among which was Brazil. The Portuguese crown demanded one fifth of the all the gold mined, and the state of Minas Gerais was the largest mining region in the country. However, in mid 18 th century, the quantity of gold extracted from the Brazilian mines was much less that it was before and this made the Marquês de Pombal establish a quota of 100 arrobas (approximately 1,500 kilos) of gold per miner, regardless of the total production - which barely reached the 100 arrobas demanded. Faced with this scenario, the government of Minas Gerais imposed, in 1763, the so-called "derrama": the common people would have to make up for the difference of the quantity of gold demanded.

The discovery of Brazil was preceded by a series of treaties between the kings of Spain and Portugal , the last of them is the Treaty of Tordesilhas , signed in , creating the Tordesilhas Meridian, that divided the world between that two kingdoms. Every land discovered or to be discovered at east of that meridian was property of Portugal, and the land discovered or to be discovered at west of that meridian was property of Spain. Brazil's discovery is officially dated at April 22 of , by Pedro Alvares Cabral , who was trying to discover a new route to India , around Africa . However, his pioneerism is still debated; some say he was in fact preceded by
