Japan immigrated to Brazil

This is because the situation of overseas Chinese workers was not good at that time, which has caused many vicious incidents. Therefore, the Qing dynasty lacked interest in organizing large-scale immigration, and Brazil demanded that immigrants become Brazilian citizens, which was impossible for the Qing government to accept.

Japan is a relatively closed island country with a closed geographical environment, and before the Meiji Restoration, Japan was generally a very conservative country. Apart from some contacts with China, North Korea and the Netherlands, foreign countries are ignorant. Therefore, the distribution of Japanese people is highly concentrated, and they are basically Japanese islands, which is different from China Koreans. Besides China, China people have Chinatowns in Southeast Asia, Japan, Europe and America.

Koreans also have concentrated areas in northeast China, Central Asia and Russia. Basically concentrated in the Japanese archipelago, overseas Japanese are generally the elite of immigrants after World War II. However, there are exceptions. There are a large number of Japanese in America, especially in Brazil. There are many Japanese, and the number of this group (Brazilian Japanese) has now reached 6.5438+0.6 million, becoming an important ethnic group in Brazil. At the opening ceremony of 2065.438+06 Rio Olympic Games, Japanese elements were embodied.

Special history

This is actually related to a special history. /kloc-In the 0/9th century, due to the abolition of slavery, many places in Brazil were deserted. Need a lot of labor. 1889, the Brazilian empire perished, and Brazil changed to * * * peace system. On10.5, the new Brazilian Federation and the government of People's Republic of China (PRC) passed Act No.97, 1892, allowing Japanese and China immigrants to settle in Brazil.

Obviously, the Brazilian government set its sights on densely populated East Asia, mainly China and Japan (North Korea's presence in the world was too low at that time). At that time, the Meiji Restoration in Japan led to social unrest, many people at the bottom went bankrupt, and the industry had not yet risen. There is a serious surplus of labor force, so it is urgent to transfer labor force, otherwise there will be large-scale social unrest. Thus, Brazil and Japan hit it off.
