A proposito di questo titolo

In this pilot episode of The History of Brazil, we begin not with Portuguese caravels but with the people who were already there. Lucas and Luna explore the moment Pedro Álvares Cabral's fleet arrived on the coast of what is now Bahia in 1500, and the first encounters between Europeans and the Tupinambá. They discuss what Brazil looked like before colonisation — the hundreds of indigenous nations, the languages spoken, the lack of large empires compared to the Andes. And they confront the brutal irony: that the name 'Brazil' comes from pau-brasil, a tree whose red dye became the colony's first export, harvested by enslaved labour. This episode sets the stage for everything that follows — from the sugar economy to the slave trade to the empire that would one day span half a continent.
