Argentina and Brazil are both South American countries, but Argentina is mainly white and Brazil is mainly brown. Why?

1. The main ethnic groups in Argentina are Europeans and Indians, of which whites account for 97%, mostly of Italian and Spanish descent. It is the country with the highest proportion of whites in South America. The urban population accounts for four fifths. Ethnic groups such as hybrids and Indians account for 3%. The official language is Spanish.

2. There are significant racial and cultural differences in Brazil. Most residents in the south are of European descent, which can be traced back to immigrants from Italy, Germany, Poland, Spain, Ukraine and Portugal at the beginning of the19th century. Some residents in the north and northeast are locals and some are of European or African descent. The southeast region is the most widely distributed region of Brazilian nationalities. There are mainly white (mainly Portuguese and Italian descendants) hybrids, African-Brazilian hybrids, Asians and Indians in this area.

So throughout Brazil, Brazilians, Portuguese and Africans began to mix together frequently. Indians who used to live in this area have obvious cultural characteristics in this area, such as black and white mottled that the Portuguese think is peaceful, and began to attack the Amorites. Then it caused a disaster, and they began to attack and destroy the villages inside. 1532, since the establishment of St. Vincent, the Portuguese began to come here as colonists. Due to the development of mining industry in the18th century, the kings of Portuguese states began to come here one after another, as well as slaves from Angola and Mina in Africa, all of whom belonged to African aborigines. From the first year of colonial rule, the proportion of blacks began to increase greatly.

/kloc-in the 0 th and 9 th centuries, Asian and European immigrants began to be stimulated. Germans began to come here in 18 18, Italians in 1875, Spaniards in 1880, and Japanese, Syrians and Lebanese began to come here one after another in the early 20th century. 19 At the end of the 20th century, the biggest migration wave in Brazil occurred in the southeast, and Italians and Portuguese became the main components of this migration, because the slave liberation movement had begun at that time, and plantations and newly developed Brazilian industries needed a lot of labor.

There have been several major waves of migration in the history of Brazil. From 1884 to 1962, more than 4.97 million immigrants moved to Brazil, mainly from Portugal, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Poland and Arab countries. Most yellow people come from Japan, South Korea and China. There are 6.5438+0.3 million Japanese and 250,000 China people in Pakistan, mainly concentrated in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
