How the Portuguese Conquered the Amazon
How did the Portuguese conquer the Amazon? The Amazon is massive and quite frightening so Portugal's attempts to colonize the rainforest were possibly the most challenging endeavor ever undertaken by the empire. Hundreds of indigenous groups and dozens of fearsome species stood in the way of their expansion although through the Ribeirinhos or river-dwellers, the Portuguese and later Brazilians would be able to expand to cover nearly the entire Amazon Basin.
