Over the course of two centuries, Portugal emerged as one of the most powerful European empires, with colonies stretching from Asia and Africa to Brazil. A significant factor in this expansion was the role of winds, which carried one of Cabral’s ships westward, landing unexpectedly on unknown shores—the Brazilian coasts. These territories later became some of Portugal’s richest and most important colonies. Therefore, the study begins in the 16th century and concludes at the end of the 17th century. The study was divided into four sections. The first section addressed Portugal's discovery 0022 of Brazil and its naming before it gained economic importance. The second section discussed the Portuguese occupation of Brazil in 1530 and its administrative division. The third section addressed the economic effects of Portuguese colonialism in Brazil and the economic interests and development of the Portuguese economy that resulted from the occupation. The fourth section addressed the cultural and social effects that resulted from this occupation, including the formation of a new society based on marital relationships, the emergence of a new element in Brazilian society from the native-born, and the cultural impact of missionary missions on society, which created the spread of schools and universities and the construction of new cities. The study relied primarily on the documentary book "EARLY BRAZIL: A Documentary Collection to 1700," an important book that informed the study in most of its sections, particularly the second section on the importance of the division of Brazil after its discovery, the third section on the economic repercussions, and the fourth section on the social effects. The study also relied on the book "The Portuguese Overseas as Expansion (1415-1825)," which informed the second and third sections on administrative divisions and how to manage provinces, as well as the beginnings of economic exploitation of timber, dyes, and sugar cultivation. The study also relied on websites and other foreign and Arabic books.
