Brazil's major events in history?

Brazil's major historical events include its discovery by Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500, the establishment of a sugarcane economy in the 16th century, and the abolition of slavery in 1888, making it one of the last countries to do so. The country declared independence from Portugal in 1822, leading to the establishment of the Empire of Brazil. Additionally, Brazil underwent a military coup in 1964, resulting in a two-decade-long military dictatorship, which ended in the 1980s, paving the way for the return to democracy. These events have significantly shaped Brazil's social, political, and economic landscapes.
