The Portuguese group was the first and largest European group to colonize Brazil in the 1500's. Because the Portuguese's situation was different from the part of Spain in Mexico and Peru, in which they lived in. They now export iron ore, crude petroleum, soybeans, raw sugar, and poultry meat. Unfortunately the Portugal left Brazil to return to Portugal in 1822.
