Up until this time Portugal has shown little interest in Brazil or the large brazilwood tree that was Brazil’s major export. From the 16th century sugarcane plantations along the northeast coast became an important part of the country’s economy. The Portuguese tried to use the native indigenous people as slaves to produce sugar for Europe, but in the end they resorted to bringing in slaves from Africa.The first permanent Portuguese settlement was established at São Vicente in 1532. Salvador was founded by the Portuguese in 1549 as the first capital of Brazil, and it became a major port for slaves and sugarcane. Brazil ceased to be a Portuguese colony declaring independence from Portugal in 1822 and becoming the Empire of Brazil
