HISTORY OF BRAZILThe indigenous population in Brazil was widely scattered when Admiral
Pedro Cabral, a Portuguese explorer, reached the coast of
Brazil on April 22, 1500. In Brazilian history during the first two
centuries of the colonial period, other European powers took a stab at establishing their own colonies in several areas of Brazilian territory.
There was a major attraction to the abundant natural resources and
massive area of virgin land.

RIO OLYMPICS 2016The Joao Havelange stadium - due to host the athletics during the Games - will be "closed indefinitely" until the matter is resolved, the City's mayor,
Eduardo Paes, said.
After being informed of the problems, Paes said he asked if they represented
a risk for fans.
"The answer was yes," Paes said in remarks quoted by the O Globo
newspaper.
"We cannot play around with an issue like this."
The stadium will not be used for the Confederations Cup in June or the
2014 World Cup.
