Ten programmes on aspects of Latin America
9: Brazil by GILBERT PHELPS
After Independence, Spain's American Empire split into nineteen republics. The provinces of Portuguese Brazil on the other hand emerged as a single nation, to become the largest of the Latin American countries both in area and population. Mr. Phelps discusses some of the unique characteristics of modern Brazil in the light of her past history.
