Brazil was colonised by Portugal from 22 April 1500 to 7 September 1822, when the country proclaimed independence. Brazil moved from monarchy to a republic on 15 November 1889. The country had a large influence (culturally, economically, socially, etc.) from African people who were made slaves by Europeans and were brought to Brazil to work on (mainly) coffee plantations. When slavery was abolished in Brazil (13 May 1888), Brazil received hundreds of thousands of Europeans immigrants who came to work (voluntarily) in the plantations.
