Why did 2 million Japanese settle in Brazil, a South American country?

Economic globalization has brought countries closer together. Some countries have attracted some foreigners to settle down because of their developed economies and greater room for development. We also call it? Immigrants? . To say that the world is a big immigrant country, except some developed countries in Europe, Brazil is actually a country with a large number of immigrants, among which the largest proportion of immigrants is Japanese, which few people would think of. As we all know, Shanghai, our international city, has attracted 300,000 Japanese to settle down. But you know what? According to incomplete statistics, at present, there are more than 2 million Japanese in Brazil, a South American country, which is more than six times the number of Japanese immigrants in Shanghai. Therefore, Brazil is called? The second hometown of the Japanese? !

Then you may be very confused about this. Isn't Japan a developed country? Why didn't they live in developed countries, but went to Brazil not far from Wan Li? In fact, Brazil has always been an ancient civilization with a profound historical background, and it is also a very popular tourist country. Passion? It's the label of this country. Brazil occupies half of South America. Although the population is small, agriculture has developed well with its unique geographical advantages.

The reason why there are more than 2 million Japanese in Brazil is to start from history. Most of these Japanese in Brazil are called? Japanese-Brazilian. ? At the beginning of the last century, South American countries gained independence one after another, but many freed slaves did not invest in their own agricultural production quickly, which also showed that Brazil was also facing the problem of a large number of cultivated land at that time. In order to make up for the shortage of labor, the Brazilian government began to accept a large number of immigrants.

Japan is one of the countries where Brazil sent special envoys to discuss immigration issues. After the Japanese government agreed to the proposal of the Brazilian government, Brazil also put forward three conditions: first, since it is necessary to immigrate, it is necessary to let family members, wives and children settle in Brazil; Secondly, Japanese immigrants to Brazil must become Brazilian citizens; Finally, it is better for these Japanese to be farmers or craftsmen, and Brazil does not accept unemployed people.

At that time, it was just the time when Japan was in recession. Because the government strongly encouraged people to have children during the Meiji Restoration, the land and resources were unbearable for a while? Exceeding the standard? The population and food supply are very tight. So immigrating to Brazil was undoubtedly a good strategy at that time, which could solve Japan's urgent needs. And a large number of Japanese immigrants to Brazil are also of great help to agricultural production.

Therefore, there are more and more Japanese in Brazil, from 65,438+00,000 at the beginning to more than 2 million now. Some Japanese Brazilians have returned to the embrace of the motherland, and some people have changed from craftsmen and farmers to businessmen or government officials in Brazil. If you travel in Brazil, you can also see some Japanese restaurants and Japanese judo halls on the street. In the final analysis, this is also because the cultures of Japan and Brazil can be integrated. In Brazil, marriage between Japanese and Brazilians is very common, which is a very common phenomenon.
