Description
Fort Orange, located near Olinda (Pernambuco), was built by the Dutch in 1630. Given the vulnerability of its extensive coastline, Brazil continued to be attacked during the early colonial period. The French occupied the area of what is today Rio de Janeiro for a few years until 1565 and the Dutch managed to establish themselves in the sugar-growing Pernambuco region from 1630-1654. Early settlers to Brazil were adventurers, a few noblemen and Jesuit missionaries who were sent to convert the local Indians to Catholicism.Forte Laranja, localizado perto de Olinda (Pernambuco), construído em 1630. Dada a vulnerabilidade de sua extensa linha costeira, o Brasil continuou sendo atacado durante o início do período colonial. Os franceses ocuparam por alguns anos a área que hoje é o Rio de Janeiro, até 1565, e os holandeses conseguiram se estabelecer na região de plantação de açúcar, em Pernambuco, de 163 O a 1654. Os primeiros colonizadores do Brasil foram aventureiros, poucos homens nobres e missionários jesuítas, enviados para converter os índios ao catolicismo.
