@Daniel Marinho João Pessoa was also called Parahyba up untill the 1940's. The town currentlt known as Goiás Velho was once the capital of the state of Goiás, while Ouro Preto, once known as Vila Rica das Minas Geraes, was the former capital of Minas.

Fun fact: Rio de Janeiro was the only capital of an European state that wasn't located in Europe, while the royal fleed from Portugal because of Napoleon
@@wonderbread7327 It depends on your definition of a European state. Turkey has land in Europe. From the beginning of the Ottoman Empire it had a significant portion of its land in Europe. For most of it's history, its capital was Istanbul, which is in Europe. Most of turkey is not in Europe and in the Middle East, but then what makes the Portuguese empire a European state if most of its land was in the Americas? Is it that its leaders were European? that it was culturally European? If you bring culture into it then there's the question of what counts as "European Culture." You could say Turks are a non-european ethnic group, but what about the Turks that have been living in Europe for generations?
@@marioprisciandaro871 the Portuguese empire was a European state because Portugal had the power and “the empire” was just its colonies. Turkey is not European culturally or ethnically. It practices a non Western religion and fought Europeans for centuries. Just because there are Turks in Europe that doesn’t make Turks European. Just how South African whites are not African.
@@wonderbread7327 I don't think you can draw a clean line between European and non-Europeaness when it comes to Turkey. Religion separates it from most of Europe but religion doesn't define what is European. There are Muslim Slavs and Albanians who are definitely European. There is no cleanly defined European culture. European as a geographical descriptor includes European Turkey. Therefore Turks in Europe are European at least in the geographical sense. Whites in Africa aren't African in the racial sense, but are certainly African in some sense since we call them White Africans. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Africans_of_European_ancestry)

3:04 The whole 4th republic thing is that the Vargas era is divided in two republics, the democratic Second Republic that got a Constitution and lasted from 1930 to 1936, and the Estado Novo Regime, considered the Third Republic as Vargas imposed a new set of constitutional laws making himself dictator.
A few corrections: The constitution of the second republic was actually promulgated in 1934. 1930 was the Vargas led coup and the country spent the next period technically without a Constitution, leading to the 1932 Sao Paulo constitutional revolt. Also, the second republic actually ended in 1937, when Cargas granted his new Constitution.
The Western expansion of Brazil surpassing the limit of the Tordesillas Treaty was a consequence of the Iberian Unión of Spain and Portugal from 1580 to 1640
It's more because the Bandeirantes didn't give a fuck and would just go venture inland after indians for enslaving and precious stones and gold anyway, and neither were the Spanish interested in colonizing the region.

It's cool that you uploaded it just two weeks after I've been to Brasilia by the first time in my life. In a way, I think it feels more like a university campus than an actual city. It is just too car centric.
the President that built Brazilia (for his own pharaonic larping mind you) believed cars were the future of transportation and therefore made the city for cars
@@pedrolmlkzk then you are wrong. Just mind big cities problems for not having good infrastructure for cars and other transportation. Problems that Brasília will not have as bad as Rio or São Paulo.
Our republics are not usually referred to by numbers, we mostly use a "theme" for each period (this is vastly more complex than it sounds though) so we usually use the following: Republic of the Sword (1889-1894) Old Republic (1894-1930) Vargas Era (1930-1945) Populist Republic (1945-1964) Military Dictatorship (1964-1985) New Republic (1985- present) But hey! Loved your video!
The way you said Rio De Janeiro is pronounced varies according to different Brazilian accents. Yes, in Rio it does sound like “je” but in some others states it doesn’t. The correction isn’t necessary because anyone can understand if you say “de”. That said ... the state of Bahia does not sound like you pronounced it. The “h” is silent all over the country. Brazilians would hardly recognized it because you sound like “Barria” to us. 😊
Great video, just a small remark, the main reason for the airplane design be the winner when planning to build the city was because the first airplane, the 14 BIS, was designed by a Brazilian, Alberto Santos Dumont, so it was an homage to his accomplishments.
Que eu saiba o Lúcio Costa não pensou no desenho de um avião mas sim de uma cruz... a galera é que depois decidiu que ia ser um avião porque acharam parecido kkkk
@@pedromendesrbd Exato. O plano original era pra ser uma cruz (com um dos nomes cotados da capital sendo Santa Cruz), mas ele encurvou um dos eixos pra caber o lago paranoá
Na verdade isso de ser o 14 Bis é mentira. Tem mais a ver com misticismo pagão egípcio e o destino manifesto do Brasil como nação no futuro do que com o 14 Bis.
Isso não é um fato, Brasília foi construída pra ser uma + cruz. Mas como não existe terreno reto, foi preciso curvar um -- eixo pra acompanhar a descida que a água fazia naquele território. Por isso a maioria diz que parece um pássaro ou um avião, mas não era a ideia inicial
There is one other reason that isn't talked a Lot in geography classes even in the high School grades for the change of the capital but that was as crucial, If not more, than the other reason at the time: the military. In the middle of the cold war Brazil was a big country that was rapidly growing diplomaticly but was poor and didn't standed for neither side (at the time). Having such vast lands and frontiers to defend, being a basicly a giant target and gate for south America as a whole, Brazil couldn't afford entering in a traditional war and maintain the union at the same time. To secure Its central commands, make It difficult to invade and force any oversea potential agressor to invest in an assymetrical war or invest in a costly large scale invasion, militarly It also made sense to move the capital to a more central location.
1- The star showing the location of Rio de Janeiro is in the wrong place. The actual place should be a bit farther east at the coastline, on a small peninsula. You put it more or less near São Paulo. 2- Bahia's name is actually pronounced "bah-EE-uh", not "BAH-hyuh". The "h" is silent.
The plans to build Brasília are very old, even in the Imperial era they had plans to move the capital to the center. Actually if you Cross lines between the country Brasília Will be the exact center.
I lived in Brasília for almost my entire life! Pretty cool seeing a video from a foreign TH-camr talking about it's origins! Honestly, the phrase of "the city being built for a car" is very far from being true, because from simply going to your house from school could take 2 hours because of traffic jams 😂 The city might be a bit uncomfortable, but there are a lot of nice people who live there! I moved to Canada last year and I still miss them all! it is a awesome place, if you get the chance to visit Brasília, you should definitely go there ❤🇧🇷
You made a mistake regarding the naming of the region. "Cerrado" means closed in spanish, and while it can mean closed in portuguese, that's usually fechado. Cerrado in portuguese means dense or thick, and the region is named that way in reference to its vegetation.
Brasília, above all else, was a means for the political class to flee from popular pressure. As you mentioned, most of Brazil's population reside far away from Brasília, while Rio is, together with São Paulo, the social and economic epicenter of our country. With the move, it became much harder to counter the corruption and neglect we've had from the federal government for decades.

Which country should I do another video like this for? Also, did you know that you can get KhAnubis merch? Including infographic posters and a mug with the logo on both sides so you can use it left or right-handed (which I'm still really proud of)? Just thought I'd remind you all crowdmade.com/collections/khanubis
You could do a video like that for most American states who have their capitals located in random small towns. Why is the capital of Illinois not Chicago? Why is the capital of Florida not Miami? Why is the capital of California not LA nor San Francisco? More importantly why did they even name the state New York if New York is not its capital????
Fun fact: Bahia in Portuguese is "Baía", and the translation of it is "Bay" Another fun fact: Rio de janeiro if you translate it you get "January's river"
It's weird seeing people correct Rio de janeiro pronunciation tô Rio je janeiro, because even though it's true, the most prominent mispronunciation is actually in the word Rio that should be pronounced more like the word hue
Slight correction, Brazil’s colonial borders were a bit different from bits modern borders. You kept it as it’s modern borders even when you were talking about it as a colony. Besides that, great video!
Just an observation, but the plan to change the capital of Brazil to the interior is much older than the first republic and even the idea of a independent Brazil. In 1761 the Marquis of Pombal them prime minister of Portugal proposed to move the capital of the Portuguese empire to the Interior of Brazil. And José Bonifácio the patriarch of independence and first prime minister of Brazil also proposed that a new capital should be made in the central plateau and its name would be Petrópolis or Brasilia and that's how Brasilia got its name too.
Of course this idea existed, debates of this type take place in all countries, Russia, Germany, South Africa, even Argentina, which also considered moving its capital from Buenos Aires to the interior of Patagonia during the period of its military dictatorship. The fact is that the this idea was never taken seriously, José Bonifacio was openly an elitist averse to the people. Pedro II on the other hand always rejected the idea, as he himself was born in Rio, the change of the capital was NEVER mentioned by a speech from the throne. The brasilia's cornerstone was only laid there after the empire fell, and guess what? By the elitists who had taken power after getting revolted over the abolition of slavery. Eitists from the interior who used slave labor and were already angry at the central elite for considering its abolition, it is obvious that these people hated Rio and everything it represented. But even so, the change of the capital was only actually carried out during the military dictatorship, because it would be much easier to command Brazil away from the people in an authoritarian reality, so much that the Argentine dictators curiously had the same idea, they just didn't actually come up with this madness because they knew that Buenos Aires would be completely destroyed and would suffer a lot from it, Rio on the other hand was just dumped out with no ceremony and today we have the results, with a weak state and drug dealers and militia fighting to fill the power vacuum left by the federal government. The military marched to Rio to carry out the coup, not to Brasilia. This heroic narrative of "brasilia as potential capital" of Brazil needs to be told as what it is: always suggested and cherished by slave-owning elitists and averse to contact with the people.
Rio was the brazilian capital since our indepence in 1822 till 1960. Some historicians say that the change of the capital to the middle of the country (Brasília) was the 2nd coup Brazil and Rio suffered since the coup that founded our Republic in 1889. Why do they say that? Brasília was built to take the Political Power of people's hands. Brasília was and still is an isolated and far area from the largest urban centers of Brazil (mostly in the Southeastern region). After the change of the capital, Rio started it's downfall. There are many docs that explain these events even deeper, but they are mostly in portuguese.
Já tinha planos pra construção de Brasília desde a independência, a própria região foi demarcada por um projeto do Império... Sobre golpes na historia do Brasil: teve o golpe do D. pedro I pra impor a constituição de 1824, teve alguns golpes durante a regência, teve o golpe da maioridade pra por o D. Pedro II no poder, teve o golpe de 1889, teve as 2 revoltas das armadas juntamente com o golpe do floriano peixoto pra se manter no poder, teve o estado de sítio de Artur Bernardes, teve o golpe de 1930 seguido do estado novo em 1937 do getulio vargas que caiu em outro golpe em 1945 e ainda teve o contragolpe do general Lott antes da eleição de JK. A construção de Brasília não foi golpe, muito menos o segundo e a decadência do Rio foi pq a ditadura militar tava mais preocupado em perseguir estudante comunista do que impedir o surgimento do trafico de drogas que começou a criar raizes nos anos 70/80 e tbm pq depois disso carioca não soube votar desde que teve redemocratização...
As someone who has been living here my whole life, Brasilia is definitely not built to a human scale. However, it is WAY better than many other cities in South America. The reason for it's dependency is because it is one of the only populous cities here that was actually built recently. I find it is slowly converting to a more walkable city with the implementation of bike lanes and some other efforts made by the government, but it still is sadly a city that you cannot live in without a car. I hope they invest in better public transportation and infrastructure in the future so I can continue to live in this beautiful city I grew up in
New Delhi is essentially the administrative district built by the Brits during colonial rule, there's an "old Delhi" right next to it as well, with the monuments and the crowds and the noise and everything. So while not a proper Analogy, New Delhi can be said to be similar to the District of Columbia in "Delhi", the Greater DC metropolitan area. Just, "Old Delhi" wasn't planned, and there's now an even greater metro area around Delhi as the nearby cities of Gurgaon and Noida grow more and more connected with it. Pakistan.....well, it was Karachi in the beginning, but, since it was on the coast(not very strategically desirable for the Pakistan government IIRC) and far away from the centre of population of the nation(whose population was concentrated in Punjab Province). It's been a while, but as per my shoddy memory, the Capital was shifted to the central Punjabi city of Rawalpindi, which had....some military importance as well, I think? Later, in order to build a "true" capital, the city of Islamabad was built adjacent to the already existing city of Rawalpindi
I've been living in Brasília since I was born and I can say that it's 100% car centric, some travels take 20 minutes by car and 2 hour by public transit, but it's a beautiful city. Living downtown feels like you're living in the countryside and in a big metropole at the same time, it's awesome!
The star on the map representing Rio de Janeiro was slighly missplaced, it stands on São Paulo state. Good luck, foreigners, trying to pronounce the ÃO in São Paulo.

Honestly, no offense to Brazilians but I don't like Brasilia. Mostly because I hate modern architecture. It would have been better if they built the city with a mix of European, Native and African traditional architecture styles so it would reflect the ethnic background of the country's people and also look good.
CORRECTION: Just a note. When u show the map of the past, the borders are different, we had another region Called Cisplatina ( Uruguay today) and we don't had the state of Acre ( Traded with Peru in 1909)
7:17 Khanubis: "The city was clearly built for the car." Meanwhile a poor pedestrian struggles to cross the road. I kid you not, the city simply doesn't have zebra crossings. Jaywalk is literaly your only option.
pff brasília is a disaster of urban planning, even the metro they have there is absolutely awful. what went through their minds that made them think "yeah let's make a metro service that only serves half of the city and ignore the other half?" there are a lot of good videos on the subject that dissect the complete mess that is brasília
When you talked geography it was a good hint for the multiple reasons Brasília was created. One other reason was the terrain near Brazil's biggest cities: mountains.
Fun fact: you can pronounce "Rio de Janeiro" as you wish, because there are so many accents in brazilian portuguese that at least one of them will pronounce as you do. I'm from the southern region in Brazil and we do pronounce "Rio DE Janeiro", not "Rio DJE Janeiro", so feel free to do so.

Great video. Just 2 corrections: In 2:36, the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brasil and Algarves map includes the Brazilian State of Acre. In that time this territory was part of Bolivia, not Portugal Empire. In the same time, the Rio de Janeiro location is wrong. The ⭐ is over SÃO PAULO location
I am Brazilian and the first pronunciation of "Rio de Janeiro" is correct too In matter of fact I didn't get the difference between the two hahaha Btw, great video!
A lot of this could apply to Canberra in Australia. A planned city built in the middle of some cattle grazing rural land that has become a federal district (called a territory in Australia’s case). It’s location was picked to appease Sydney and Melbourne about where the capital should be. The middle of Australia would be too difficult to maintain a large city because of the aridity so the capital was located between the two largest cities. Canberra is probably a little less car centric (due to the inclusion of bike tracks), but it is still a sprawl that favours a car over walking.
Fun fact: you knowed that rio de janeiro its not the capital of brazil its Brasilia, well and my respects to brazil from your friend and brother of south america Argentina. 🇦🇷💕🇧🇷
Just an note on pronounciation, because this seems to be an issue on every english speaking geography channel i've seen: We REALLY don't mind how you pronounce D and R. When you try to do it correctly, it gets worse than just using your standard english pronounciation. In most cases, english pronounciation is actually closer to the portuguese one than you realize, and the only thing that is really funny is how you seem to be incapable of pronouncing the "ão" sound, which is a very nasal, closed sound most foreigners cannot articulate. In the case of Rio de Janeiro: If you REALLY want to pronounce the "de" correctly, then you EITHER say it exactly like in english, which is absolutelly correct btw, OR you say "dji". Do not say "DJE", it's weird when you do. But srsly don't bother, because it's weird that you guys would pronounce "de" correctly but use retroflex R for "Rio" and "Janeiro". Either go full gringo or do it correctly. The middle ground is uncanny. IN GENERAL, if you want a nice pronounciation that no Brazilian would find objectionable, the best you can do is really just to wing it, but remember that H is mute, NH is the same as Ñ in spanish and LH is the same as LL in spanish and GL in italian. Hope it helps, and keep up the good job in the channel ;)
This is true in almost every language. It’s really weird hearing a foreigner try and pronounce it the way natives do. Just use your version or get it completely correct
Fun fact 1: The map of Brasil after you expanded is a little anachronistic, since some territories shown weren’t in Brasil’s domain during independence (like Acre) Fun fact 2: The second republic is the first part of the Vargas Regime, and the third is the “Estado Novo” part of his reign, from 1937 to 1945 (they weren’t misplaced heheheheheh) Fun fact 3: the actual spelling of the countries’ name is “Brasil”
Só uma correçãozinha: o termo "reign" se refere a reinado. Como Getúlio Vargas nunca foi rei, o termo não se aplica. O correto é "government", "administration" ou "regime". A última se encaixa melhor.
Good morning mr. Anubis, as much as i like your content, i might say you got some thing wrong, such as in the pronunciation of Rio de Janeiro, no one says "je", due to colloquial manneirisms, we turn the E into a I in the use of "de", so instead of Rio "je" Janeiro, it's closer to the italian "di". Another point of interest is mentioning Vasco da Gama in the pursuit of the Indias and the first navegation "under" Africa (going south of Cabo da Boa Esperança). Furthermore, your pronounciation of Bahia, although good, should be noted for the use of the H as a RR sound, when in reality there's no actual sound to the H, indicating the elongation in the I (Bah-e-ah). In another note, it should be pointed out that you mentioned the 2nd and 3rd articles of the constitution, but you've messed up the year of the constitution, by 1960 we were under the 1946 constitution, wrote after the deposal of the dictator Getúlio Vargas, you mentioned the 1891 constitution, which was overruled by 1930 with the coup from Vargas (and a later phony constitution was written in 1937). This is in no way, shape or form a derrogatory analysis of your video, i absolutely adore your videos and expect to see more of you, good evening. From São Paulo, Brasil.
I don't judge them. Rio is still the cultural capital of Brazi, and the legit Brasília is around 60 years old and was founded to take the political power out of people's hand, that's a fact!
The real reason to move the capital to the far west was to be far from popular protests. Until today, most of political protests occur in Rio or São Paulo. Both cities are more than 1000km from the capital. So the politicians simply laugh at those protests, being safely away from them

Your first pronunciation of Rio de Janeiro is not wrong, the "de" does not have a "je" sound everywhere. Although people from Rio de Janeiro talk like this, in many other states it is said "de". The accent from Rio and São Paulo are the most used in tv (and I guess when foreigners are learning brazilian portuguese) and that's why for many it's the "right" way of talking, which is incorrect
Não sabe doq ta falando. A Maioria dos brasileiros falam "dji". Tudo é sotaque do rio pqp, tem partes em q falam "de" mas a maioria da população fala "dji" não é porra nenhuma de sotaque carioca nem paulista
@@rogerio7546 e vc leu o que eu disse? Eu falei que "de" não tá errado (que é o que ele fala no vídeo), não importa se é maioria ou não, pode ser "de" e pode ser "dji" tbm. Falei do sotaque do Rio justamente pra deixar claro que as pessoas do estado que ele está falando sobre vão falar "dji", mas que não é errado falar da outra maneira. E se vc quer dizer que os sotaques de Rio e São Paulo n têm mais influência e aparecem mais na mídia aí é vc que não sabe o que tá falando. É só ir atrás e perceber isso. São os sotaques tratados como "normais" ou "corretos" por muita gente. Um exemplo é só ver que não é incomum pessoas dessas cidades dizerem que "não tem sotaque", o que é ridículo.
Should be noticed as a consequence of not being the capital, Rio de Janeiro was essentially completely abandoned by the Federal administration, which was a factor in both the city (which became the state of Guanabara) and the state being the only ones to consistently give victories to the opposition to the military dictatorship, which resulted in them merging the state and city as a way to retaliate, which made things worse for both. Rio would only see heavy investment in the 21st century because of the Olympics and World Cup, but that only led to corruption and white elephants- the governor at the time Rio won the two bids is serving 400 years for dozen of corruption convictions, many related to those events. Afterward, the city and the state were mostly abandoned again, even worse than before.
Idk, Rio still was home to A LOT of brazilian companies, it was still the second larges city in the country after all, with lots of big infrastructure projects still being made in the later half of the 20th century. The city is certainly in overall decadence since the 60s, and it certainly started with the moving of the capital, but i think it is a very complicated issue that also relates to the deindustrialization of brazil (and the southwestern big cities specifically) in the 90s and 2000s.
Oh wow, mispronuciations aside this video is just great. Ab imo pectore this was perfect. 'Cabral' and 'Bahia' were prononced wrong though, not a big deal at all, but just as a heads-up. Bahia has a silence h so it is more or less 'Baia', not a linguist sorry, (I live in Salvador btw, first capital, and the Black Rome, ruuules woop woop!) and you said Cabal ignoring the R.
7:35 It's wrong, Belo Horizonte is the third largest metropolitan area in Brazil with just over 6 million and Porto Alegre the fourth largest with 4.6 million inhabitants. Brasilia appears only in fifth position!

3:04 The whole 4th republic thing is that the Vargas era is divided in two republics, the democratic Second Republic that got a Constitution and lasted from 1930 to 1936, and the Estado Novo Regime, considered the Third Republic as Vargas imposed a new set of constitutional laws making himself dictator.
A few corrections: The constitution of the second republic was actually promulgated in 1934. 1930 was the Vargas led coup and the country spent the next period technically without a Constitution, leading to the 1932 Sao Paulo constitutional revolt. Also, the second republic actually ended in 1937, when Cargas granted his new Constitution.
The Western expansion of Brazil surpassing the limit of the Tordesillas Treaty was a consequence of the Iberian Unión of Spain and Portugal from 1580 to 1640
Thank you! I always wondered about this!
It's more because the Bandeirantes didn't give a fuck and would just go venture inland after indians for enslaving and precious stones and gold anyway, and neither were the Spanish interested in colonizing the region.
The answer is: yes, Brazil is indeed trying to confuse everyone. We ourselves are very confused.

Rio in portuguese is actually pronounced like the word "hill" in english, with a U sound at the end. The way most native english speakers pronounce it sounds like river in spanish, "río".

"Rio" is literally river

7:35 Common mistake in many foreign videos about Brasília. It is not the third largest Metro region of Brazil. Belo Horizonte, with nearly 6 million people, is considerably larger. Great video anyway.
It's cool that you uploaded it just two weeks after I've been to Brasilia by the first time in my life. In a way, I think it feels more like a university campus than an actual city. It is just too car centric.

Our republics are not usually referred to by numbers, we mostly use a "theme" for each period (this is vastly more complex than it sounds though) so we usually use the following:
Republic of the Sword (1889-1894)
Old Republic (1894-1930)
Vargas Era (1930-1945)
Populist Republic (1945-1964)
Military Dictatorship (1964-1985)
New Republic (1985- present)
But hey! Loved your video!
Qual vai ser o próximo mapa de Brasília? O update vai ser louco kkkkkk
The way you said Rio De Janeiro is pronounced varies according to different Brazilian accents. Yes, in Rio it does sound like “je” but in some others states it doesn’t. The correction isn’t necessary because anyone can understand if you say “de”. That said ... the state of Bahia does not sound like you pronounced it. The “h” is silent all over the country. Brazilians would hardly recognized it because you sound like “Barria” to us. 😊

There is one other reason that isn't talked a Lot in geography classes even in the high School grades for the change of the capital but that was as crucial, If not more, than the other reason at the time: the military.
In the middle of the cold war Brazil was a big country that was rapidly growing diplomaticly but was poor and didn't standed for neither side (at the time).
Having such vast lands and frontiers to defend, being a basicly a giant target and gate for south America as a whole, Brazil couldn't afford entering in a traditional war and maintain the union at the same time.
To secure Its central commands, make It difficult to invade and force any oversea potential agressor to invest in an assymetrical war or invest in a costly large scale invasion, militarly It also made sense to move the capital to a more central location.
1- The star showing the location of Rio de Janeiro is in the wrong place. The actual place should be a bit farther east at the coastline, on a small peninsula. You put it more or less near São Paulo.
2- Bahia's name is actually pronounced "bah-EE-uh", not "BAH-hyuh". The "h" is silent.
and rio is pronounced like hio

You made a mistake regarding the naming of the region. "Cerrado" means closed in spanish, and while it can mean closed in portuguese, that's usually fechado. Cerrado in portuguese means dense or thick, and the region is named that way in reference to its vegetation.
Mas a vegetação do cerrado não é esparsa, como as savanas e não densa como a Amazônia?

Brasília, above all else, was a means for the political class to flee from popular pressure. As you mentioned, most of Brazil's population reside far away from Brasília, while Rio is, together with São Paulo, the social and economic epicenter of our country. With the move, it became much harder to counter the corruption and neglect we've had from the federal government for decades.

Slight correction, Brazil’s colonial borders were a bit different from bits modern borders. You kept it as it’s modern borders even when you were talking about it as a colony. Besides that, great video!
Just an observation, but the plan to change the capital of Brazil to the interior is much older than the first republic and even the idea of a independent Brazil.
In 1761 the Marquis of Pombal them prime minister of Portugal proposed to move the capital of the Portuguese empire to the Interior of Brazil.
And José Bonifácio the patriarch of independence and first prime minister of Brazil also proposed that a new capital should be made in the central plateau and its name would be Petrópolis or Brasilia and that's how Brasilia got its name too.
And now Petrópolis is just a small town in the countryside pf Rio de Janeiro state that lives off of historic tourism.
@@sohopedeco actually Petrópolis have a good economy, it has not only tourism
just so you know, Marquis of Pombal was the same guy that made Rio the Capital in 1763
Of course this idea existed, debates of this type take place in all countries, Russia, Germany, South Africa, even Argentina, which also considered moving its capital from Buenos Aires to the interior of Patagonia during the period of its military dictatorship. The fact is that the this idea was never taken seriously, José Bonifacio was openly an elitist averse to the people. Pedro II on the other hand always rejected the idea, as he himself was born in Rio, the change of the capital was NEVER mentioned by a speech from the throne. The brasilia's cornerstone was only laid there after the empire fell, and guess what? By the elitists who had taken power after getting revolted over the abolition of slavery. Eitists from the interior who used slave labor and were already angry at the central elite for considering its abolition, it is obvious that these people hated Rio and everything it represented. But even so, the change of the capital was only actually carried out during the military dictatorship, because it would be much easier to command Brazil away from the people in an authoritarian reality, so much that the Argentine dictators curiously had the same idea, they just didn't actually come up with this madness because they knew that Buenos Aires would be completely destroyed and would suffer a lot from it, Rio on the other hand was just dumped out with no ceremony and today we have the results, with a weak state and drug dealers and militia fighting to fill the power vacuum left by the federal government. The military marched to Rio to carry out the coup, not to Brasilia. This heroic narrative of "brasilia as potential capital" of Brazil needs to be told as what it is: always suggested and cherished by slave-owning elitists and averse to contact with the people.
@@diajle1710 Chill, dude. Brasilia was build befor the military dictatorship took hold.
Rio was the brazilian capital since our indepence in 1822 till 1960. Some historicians say that the change of the capital to the middle of the country (Brasília) was the 2nd coup Brazil and Rio suffered since the coup that founded our Republic in 1889. Why do they say that? Brasília was built to take the Political Power of people's hands. Brasília was and still is an isolated and far area from the largest urban centers of Brazil (mostly in the Southeastern region). After the change of the capital, Rio started it's downfall. There are many docs that explain these events even deeper, but they are mostly in portuguese.
Já tinha planos pra construção de Brasília desde a independência, a própria região foi demarcada por um projeto do Império... Sobre golpes na historia do Brasil: teve o golpe do D. pedro I pra impor a constituição de 1824, teve alguns golpes durante a regência, teve o golpe da maioridade pra por o D. Pedro II no poder, teve o golpe de 1889, teve as 2 revoltas das armadas juntamente com o golpe do floriano peixoto pra se manter no poder, teve o estado de sítio de Artur Bernardes, teve o golpe de 1930 seguido do estado novo em 1937 do getulio vargas que caiu em outro golpe em 1945 e ainda teve o contragolpe do general Lott antes da eleição de JK. A construção de Brasília não foi golpe, muito menos o segundo e a decadência do Rio foi pq a ditadura militar tava mais preocupado em perseguir estudante comunista do que impedir o surgimento do trafico de drogas que começou a criar raizes nos anos 70/80 e tbm pq depois disso carioca não soube votar desde que teve redemocratização...
interesting to see how this is a similar case as Indonesia's plan to move the capital city. Hope the Indonesian government take notes from Brazil

Canberra, Australia's soulless capiral. Is another object lesson in the pitfalls of urban design by architect and committee.
I hope they dont. Our government is extremely corrupt ever since the empire ended. And it gets worse by the minute.
As someone who has been living here my whole life, Brasilia is definitely not built to a human scale. However, it is WAY better than many other cities in South America. The reason for it's dependency is because it is one of the only populous cities here that was actually built recently. I find it is slowly converting to a more walkable city with the implementation of bike lanes and some other efforts made by the government, but it still is sadly a city that you cannot live in without a car. I hope they invest in better public transportation and infrastructure in the future so I can continue to live in this beautiful city I grew up in
You placed the star in São Paulo while talking about Rio. It should be a little further east.
how about you make a video about why Islamabad is capital of Pakistan and not Karachi, or why New Delhi is called "New" Delhi, would love too see them
There's a Delhi proper.
New Delhi is essentially the administrative district built by the Brits during colonial rule, there's an "old Delhi" right next to it as well, with the monuments and the crowds and the noise and everything. So while not a proper Analogy, New Delhi can be said to be similar to the District of Columbia in "Delhi", the Greater DC metropolitan area. Just, "Old Delhi" wasn't planned, and there's now an even greater metro area around Delhi as the nearby cities of Gurgaon and Noida grow more and more connected with it. Pakistan.....well, it was Karachi in the beginning, but, since it was on the coast(not very strategically desirable for the Pakistan government IIRC) and far away from the centre of population of the nation(whose population was concentrated in Punjab Province). It's been a while, but as per my shoddy memory, the Capital was shifted to the central Punjabi city of Rawalpindi, which had....some military importance as well, I think? Later, in order to build a "true" capital, the city of Islamabad was built adjacent to the already existing city of Rawalpindi
When I learned of the city of "New Delhi", my first guess was that the old Delhi was located somewhere in England.

A lot of this could apply to Canberra in Australia. A planned city built in the middle of some cattle grazing rural land that has become a federal district (called a territory in Australia’s case). It’s location was picked to appease Sydney and Melbourne about where the capital should be. The middle of Australia would be too difficult to maintain a large city because of the aridity so the capital was located between the two largest cities.
Canberra is probably a little less car centric (due to the inclusion of bike tracks), but it is still a sprawl that favours a car over walking.

Just an note on pronounciation, because this seems to be an issue on every english speaking geography channel i've seen:
We REALLY don't mind how you pronounce D and R.
When you try to do it correctly, it gets worse than just using your standard english pronounciation. In most cases, english pronounciation is actually closer to the portuguese one than you realize, and the only thing that is really funny is how you seem to be incapable of pronouncing the "ão" sound, which is a very nasal, closed sound most foreigners cannot articulate.
In the case of Rio de Janeiro:
If you REALLY want to pronounce the "de" correctly, then you EITHER say it exactly like in english, which is absolutelly correct btw, OR you say "dji". Do not say "DJE", it's weird when you do. But srsly don't bother, because it's weird that you guys would pronounce "de" correctly but use retroflex R for "Rio" and "Janeiro". Either go full gringo or do it correctly. The middle ground is uncanny.
IN GENERAL, if you want a nice pronounciation that no Brazilian would find objectionable, the best you can do is really just to wing it, but remember that H is mute, NH is the same as Ñ in spanish and LH is the same as LL in spanish and GL in italian.
Hope it helps, and keep up the good job in the channel ;)
This is true in almost every language. It’s really weird hearing a foreigner try and pronounce it the way natives do. Just use your version or get it completely correct
Congratulations on the pronunciation, it was almost perfect, just want to point out that the state of Bahia is actualy pronounced as Bah- ee- a

Fun fact 1: The map of Brasil after you expanded is a little anachronistic, since some territories shown weren’t in Brasil’s domain during independence (like Acre)
Fun fact 2: The second republic is the first part of the Vargas Regime, and the third is the “Estado Novo” part of his reign, from 1937 to 1945 (they weren’t misplaced heheheheheh)
Fun fact 3: the actual spelling of the countries’ name is “Brasil”
Só uma correçãozinha: o termo "reign" se refere a reinado. Como Getúlio Vargas nunca foi rei, o termo não se aplica. O correto é "government", "administration" ou "regime". A última se encaixa melhor.
Good morning mr. Anubis, as much as i like your content, i might say you got some thing wrong, such as in the pronunciation of Rio de Janeiro, no one says "je", due to colloquial manneirisms, we turn the E into a I in the use of "de", so instead of Rio "je" Janeiro, it's closer to the italian "di".
Another point of interest is mentioning Vasco da Gama in the pursuit of the Indias and the first navegation "under" Africa (going south of Cabo da Boa Esperança).
Furthermore, your pronounciation of Bahia, although good, should be noted for the use of the H as a RR sound, when in reality there's no actual sound to the H, indicating the elongation in the I (Bah-e-ah).
In another note, it should be pointed out that you mentioned the 2nd and 3rd articles of the constitution, but you've messed up the year of the constitution, by 1960 we were under the 1946 constitution, wrote after the deposal of the dictator Getúlio Vargas, you mentioned the 1891 constitution, which was overruled by 1930 with the coup from Vargas (and a later phony constitution was written in 1937).

I don't judge them. Rio is still the cultural capital of Brazi, and the legit Brasília is around 60 years old and was founded to take the political power out of people's hand, that's a fact!
The real reason to move the capital to the far west was to be far from popular protests. Until today, most of political protests occur in Rio or São Paulo. Both cities are more than 1000km from the capital. So the politicians simply laugh at those protests, being safely away from them

Americans after discovering that Brazilians don't speak Spanish and the capital is Brasília: my life has been a lie
Your first pronunciation of Rio de Janeiro is not wrong, the "de" does not have a "je" sound everywhere. Although people from Rio de Janeiro talk like this, in many other states it is said "de". The accent from Rio and São Paulo are the most used in tv (and I guess when foreigners are learning brazilian portuguese) and that's why for many it's the "right" way of talking, which is incorrect
And also, that’s just how it’s said in English. No need to change it.
Não sabe doq ta falando. A Maioria dos brasileiros falam "dji". Tudo é sotaque do rio pqp, tem partes em q falam "de" mas a maioria da população fala "dji" não é porra nenhuma de sotaque carioca nem paulista
@@rogerio7546 e vc leu o que eu disse? Eu falei que "de" não tá errado (que é o que ele fala no vídeo), não importa se é maioria ou não, pode ser "de" e pode ser "dji" tbm. Falei do sotaque do Rio justamente pra deixar claro que as pessoas do estado que ele está falando sobre vão falar "dji", mas que não é errado falar da outra maneira. E se vc quer dizer que os sotaques de Rio e São Paulo n têm mais influência e aparecem mais na mídia aí é vc que não sabe o que tá falando. É só ir atrás e perceber isso. São os sotaques tratados como "normais" ou "corretos" por muita gente. Um exemplo é só ver que não é incomum pessoas dessas cidades dizerem que "não tem sotaque", o que é ridículo.
Sou do Rio e acho que apenas as pessoas do município do Rio falam assim. Do outro lado da "poça", a pronúncia é "de" mesmo.
@@rogerio7546 Rapaz se alguém fala aquele "dji" carregado todo mundo aqui sabe que é de fora
2:30 Little mistake on the map. Acre wasn't a part of Brasil until 1903
Should be noticed as a consequence of not being the capital, Rio de Janeiro was essentially completely abandoned by the Federal administration, which was a factor in both the city (which became the state of Guanabara) and the state being the only ones to consistently give victories to the opposition to the military dictatorship, which resulted in them merging the state and city as a way to retaliate, which made things worse for both. Rio would only see heavy investment in the 21st century because of the Olympics and World Cup, but that only led to corruption and white elephants- the governor at the time Rio won the two bids is serving 400 years for dozen of corruption convictions, many related to those events. Afterward, the city and the state were mostly abandoned again, even worse than before.
Idk, Rio still was home to A LOT of brazilian companies, it was still the second larges city in the country after all, with lots of big infrastructure projects still being made in the later half of the 20th century.
The city is certainly in overall decadence since the 60s, and it certainly started with the moving of the capital, but i think it is a very complicated issue that also relates to the deindustrialization of brazil (and the southwestern big cities specifically) in the 90s and 2000s.
Rio is also experiencing a lot of financial trouble recently, and favellas have grown massively since it stopped being the capital
@@pedrolmlkzk well, the favelas happened all across the country, including the new capital brasilia
@@rafafr9 yeah, but the sittuation in Rio is way worse than in other metropolises in Brazil
@@pedrolmlkzk Well kinda, in per capita cases of murder there are
worse cities, even other capitals.
Rio was the first Federal District in Brazil.
Oh wow, mispronuciations aside this video is just great. Ab imo pectore this was perfect.
'Cabral' and 'Bahia' were prononced wrong though, not a big deal at all, but just as a heads-up. Bahia has a silence h so it is more or less 'Baia', not a linguist sorry, (I live in Salvador btw, first capital, and the Black Rome, ruuules woop woop!) and you said Cabal ignoring the R.
7:35 It's wrong, Belo Horizonte is the third largest metropolitan area in Brazil with just over 6 million and Porto Alegre the fourth largest with 4.6 million inhabitants. Brasilia appears only in fifth position!

Tu ta exagerando meu
@@CERISTHEDEV Eu sei
As a Brasilian, never heard anyone pronouncing Rio "je" Janeiro.
It was all a conspiracy against Toni Tornado to make one of his lyrics outdated!
Fun Fact: Rio is more beautiful in the Americas.
