Brezilya, Yeni Kıtaya Giriş 🇧🇷

Описание: Yeni bir kıtaya başladım, bir yandan Portekizce öğreniyorum bir yandan bol bol okuyorum. Brezilya’ nın içlerine doğru özelikle Amazonları ziyaret etmek, uzun uzun, sindire sindire gezmek istiyorum. Umarım güzel belgeseller ve gezi videoları çıkar. Umarım heyecanımı size de yansıtabilirim.

Videonun sonuna doğru Rio’ da bir yardım kuruluşunun hayat kadınlarına iaşe dağıtmasına katıldım.

Rio maalesef karnavallarda ekranlara yansıdığı gibi değil.

Rio de Janeiro is the city it is today because of its rich, historical past. Portuguese rulers were the first ones to rule Rio when they landed on the soil of Guanabara Bay on the 1st January 1502. The bay forms the opening of a river, hence the name ‘Rio de Janeiro’ which means ‘River of January’. The French wanted to make the best of the strategic position Rio had in the Brazilian region and tried to achieve a foothold in the city but were debarred from the city after two years of intense war. To protect from further invasions, the city was moved to a safer position on a hill, which was later named ‘Castle Hill’.

Rio developed economically as it continued to cultivate sugarcane, its traditional crop. Subsequently, gold and diamonds were found in the Minas Gerais area. After this discovery, many other European countries tried to capture Rio and gain a foothold, and in 1763, the capital of the region was shifted from Salvador to Rio de Janeiro.
However, this economic prominence did not last long. As Rio entered the 19th century, sugar cane production faced stiff competition from other South American countries, and the gold and diamond reserves also dwindled, leading Rio on the path of an economic crisis. To prevent this situation, it started exporting coffee and the Portuguese royal family resettled in Rio. During their thirteen-year rule, Rio expanded economically, and the city started spreading out to its edges, as new buildings started cropping up with modernized infrastructure. When the Portuguese left, Brazil finally achieved its independence.


In the 1960s the capital of Brazil was moved from Rio to Brasilia and later to Sao Paolo, to reduce the economic and financial pressure on Rio. Political power was moved to the interior of the country. Today along with its different ethnic groups, Rio is making its presence felt in the industrial, service and tourism sector. Major multinational companies have their headquarters in Rio, and the city does have its influence on the Brazilian economy, as a whole.
