Which countries' land did Japan buy?

Japan bought land in Brazil and other countries.

Japan's land area is only 378,000 square kilometers, and Brazil's land area is more than 8.5 million square kilometers, ranking fifth in the world. According to the data, Japan has bought millions of square kilometers of land in Brazil, which is dozens of times its own land area. Japan not only buys a lot of land overseas, but also actively reclaims land.

There are precedents for Japanese to immigrate to Brazil. As early as 200 years ago, Japan immigrated to Brazil on a large scale. The descendants of these people now live in Brazil. Today, the number of Japanese in Brazil has reached about 2 million, and Brazil has already become the country with the largest number of Japanese overseas immigrants.

The reason why Japan bought land in Brazil

1, historical reasons. In fact, there are some practical reasons, the first is to develop the economy. As we all know, although Japan's economy is developed, its domestic natural resources are very scarce and it basically depends on imports. Brazil can just provide Japan with the resources it needs. And Japan's industrial strength can in turn provide some help to Brazil, which is a good deal for both sides.

2. Environmental problems. Brazil has a vast inland area, and even if the sea level really rises in the future, it will not have much impact on Brazil. And most importantly, the current population of Brazil is only about 200 million. Even if Japan immigrates from all over the country, it is estimated that there will not be much problem for Brazil, and it can even be said that the land is vast and sparsely populated.
