Brazil has the biggest black population of any country outside Nigeria. Over 10 million African slaves were shipped to Brazil, six times more than to the United States. Slaves were prohibited from practising their own faiths. To avoid persecution they gave Catholic names and figures to all their African gods, giving birth to the Afro-Brazilian religion of candomblé.

BBC , 2006
Brazilian gaúchos have more in common with Argentinians and Uruguayans than they do with people from São Paulo or Rio. When their neighbours became independent, the gaúchos sought freedom from the rest of Brazil, but were defeated in 1845. Nowadays, most Brazilians from the south are descendants of the European immigrants who settled in the late 19th century.
