Nationalization Campaign
The so-called nationalization campaign (), was the set of measures taken by the Brazilian government during the Estado Novo (Brazil), Estado Novo of Getúlio Vargas to reduce the influence of foreign immigrant communities in the country and force their integration with the Brazilian population. Some immigrant groups were considered more apt to be integrated; others were considered incapable due to factors such as their native language, their religion and their profession. Background Since the 19th century, groups of immigrants began to arrive in Brazil encouraged by the Empire of Brazil, imperial State. The first attempts to establish immigrant colonies took place in Bahia (1818) and Rio de Janeiro (1819), but were not successful.

Racism In Brazil
Racism has been present in Brazil since its Colonial Brazil, colonial period and is pointed as one of the major and most widespread types of discrimination, if not the most, in the country by several anthropologists, sociologists, jurists, historians and others. The myth of a racial democracy, a term originally coined by Brazilian Sociology, sociologist Gilberto Freyre in his 1933 work ''Casa-Grande & Senzala'' (The Masters and the Slaves), is used by many people in the country to deny or downplay the existence and the broad extension of racism in Brazil. Racism was made illegal under Anti-discrimination laws in Brazil#Penal Code, Brazil's anti-discrimination laws, which were passed in the 1950s after Katherine Dunham, an African-American dancer touring Brazil, was barred from a hotel.

Antisemitism In Brazil
Antisemitism or Jew-hatred is hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jews. A person who harbours it is called an antisemite. Whether antisemitism is considered a form of racism depends on the school of thought. Antisemitic tendencies may be motivated primarily by negative sentiment towards Jews as a people or negative sentiment towards Jews with regard to Judaism.

In the latter case, known as religious antisemitism, a person's hostility is driven by their religion's perception of Jews and Judaism, typically encompassing doctrines of supersession that expect or demand Jews to turn away from Judaism and submit to the religion presenting itself as Judaism's successor faith—thi ...

Brazil In World War II
Brazil officially entered World War II on August 22, 1942, when it declared war against the Axis powers, including Germany and Italy. On February 8, 1943, Brazil formally joined the Allies upon signing the Declaration by United Nations.

Leading up to the outbreak of World War II in 1939, Brazil adhered to a policy of strict neutrality and maintained positive commercial and diplomatic relations with both Allied and Axis powers.

Immigration To Brazil
Immigration to Brazil is the movement to Brazil of foreign peoples to reside permanently. It should not be confused with the forcible bringing of people from Africa as slaves. Latin Europe accounted for four-fifths of the arrivals (1.8 million Portuguese, 1.7 million Italians, and 760,000 Spaniards). This engendered a strikingly multicultural society. Yet over a few generations, Brazil absorbed these new populations in a manner that resembles the experience of the rest of the New World. Throughout its history, Brazil has always been a recipient of settlers, but this began to gain importance in the late 19th century and throughout the 20th century when the country received massive immigration from Europe, the Middle East, and Japan, which left lasting marks on demography, culture, language and the economy of Brazil. In general, it is considered that people who entered Brazil up to 1822, the year of independence, were wholly colonizers. Since then, some of those who enter ...
