Years: 1540 - 1683
The reassertion of Portuguese independence under the Braganças in 1640 leads to sporadic conflict in frontier areas and to policies seeking to hold back Spanish advances.
In the Amazon and Rio de la Plata river basins, the Spanish rather than the Portuguese had been first on the scene.
The Spaniards include Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, who journeys from the coast of Santa Catarina to Asunción in 1540, and Francisco de Orellana, who descends the Amazon in 1542.
