Aim:Why did Portugal claim territory in the Americas?
Spanish colonization helped Spain to grow wealthy. The king wanted the leaders to treat the Indians well, but instead they were treated as slaves.
Pedro Alvares Cabral arrived in Brazil. Although the indigenous people didn’t have gold or silver they had wood, wild animals, fish, and gem stones. Portugal and Spain claimed land for economic, political, and religious reasons.
The Portuguese started a colony in Brazil 1532. They forced Indians to work on sugar plantations. Many Indians died because of disease and cruel treatment. People moved to Brazil to make money and convert natives to Catholicism.
Why is it important for people to exercise?
Being physically active makes you stronger, helps you feel good and improves your self-image. Exercise helps your entire respiratory system. Your respiratory system is made up of all the parts of your body that helps you get oxygen into your blood and carbon dioxide out of it. Your blood gets oxygen when air goes through your nose, in the trachea into the lungs and then into the alveoli. Your heart and lungs work better with regular physical activity.
