Years: 1684 - 1827
Brazil takes on its modern shape with the Treaties of 1750, 1761, and 1777.
The lines are drawn for the nineteenth-century struggles over the East Bank (Banda Oriental, or present-day Uruguay) of the Rio Uruguai and the Río de la Plata, the war with the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata (1825-28), and the Paraguayan War, also known as the War of the Triple Alliance (1864-70).
Thus, as a result of slave hunting, gold prospecting, and Portuguese royal policy, the Tordesillas Line becomes obsolete, and Portugal obtains more than half of South America.
When Brazil becomes independent in 1822, its huge territory is comparable in size with the Russian and Chinese empires.
