Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -'Journal of a Voyage to Brazil' by Maria Graham offers a detailed narrative of the early exploration and colonization of Brazil, focusing on the period from its discovery in 1499 to the mid-17th century. The text begins with the discovery of Brazil by Vicente Yañez Pinçon and the subsequent claim by Pedro Alvarez Cabral for Portugal. The early years of colonization were marked by sporadic settlements and interactions with indigenous tribes, often characterized by conflict and cultural exchanges. The Portuguese crown initially showed limited interest due to the lack of immediate wealth, such as gold, which was abundant in Spanish territories. However, the strategic importance of Brazil grew over time, especially as European powers like France and the Netherlands attempted to establish their own colonies. The narrative highlights the role of intermediary figures such as Amerigo Vespucci, who explored the coast, and the Jesuits, who played a significant role in the cultural and religious transformation of the indigenous population. The text also covers the merging of the union of the Spanish and Portuguese crowns under Philip II, which shifted the geopolitical dynamics in the region. The Dutch invasion and occupation of parts of Brazil in the early 17th century, particularly in Pernambuco, marked a significant period of conflict and change. The account concludes with the eventual expulsion of the Dutch and the restoration of Portuguese control, setting the stage for Brazil's development as a major colonial power in South America.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 292 pp. Englisch.
