History of Rio Grande do Sul

The history of Rio Grande do Sul begins with the arrival of Man in the region, around 12,000 years ago. Its most dramatic changes, however, occurred in the last five centuries, after the discovery of Brazil. This most recent period took place amid several external and internal armed conflicts, some of which with great violence.
