The modern history of the creation of the Brazilian state is linked to Brazil discovered by the Portuguese on April 22, 1500. Soon after the fact, the settlers began to settle in the colony, however, in an insignificant way.
At first, exiles were left here (people considered undesirable in Portugal, who were punished with exile in Brazil). These first settlers were abandoned to their fate and ended up being welcomed by the indigenous groups that lived on the coast. Convicts made up 10 to 20% of the population of Pernambuco and Bahia (wealthier areas). On the other hand, in peripheral regions, such as Maranhão, the exiled were between 80 and 90% of the Portuguese population.
Since then, a lot has changed, today there is a large movement of Portuguese descendants returning to Portugal. Shall we talk about the main points that permeate Portuguese citizenship?
