Brazil is a new country. It was first colonized by the Portuguese, but throughout the years people from all over the world came in to shape Brazilian culture and join the great miscegenation process that makes the Brazilian people who they are, from native Indians and African slaves to Spanish and Portuguese colonizers. Over the last century, the country has seen a mass immigration from Japan, Italy and Germany especially to the southeast and south region. Today, the Brazilian people are a great mixture of many different countries that brought their own culture, habits, religions and traditions to the land.
