Iguaçu Territory
Iguaçu Territory ( pt, Território Federal do Iguaçu) was a Brazilian federal territory from 1943 to 1946. It was located in the south region of Brazil. During its three years of existence, the territory had two military governors: João Garcez do Nascimento and Frederico Trotta. The demarcation of the boundary of the territory was also changed at least once during its existence: in 1944, to incorporate the capital region, Iguaçu (current Laranjeiras do Sul), to the territory.

Federal Territory
A federal territory is an administrative division under the direct and usually exclusive jurisdiction of a federation's national government. A federal territory is a part of a federation, but not a part of any federated state. The states constitute the federation itself and share sovereignty with the federal government, while a territory does not have sovereign status and is constitutionally dependent on the federal government. Unlike a federal district (which is directly controlled by the federal government), a territory may have some degree of self-rule, but the terms are used somewhat differently in different federations. Federal territories in various federations Federal territories include: * Australia ** (external) ** ' (claimed) ** (internal) ** (external) ** (external) ** (external) ** (external) ** (internal) ** (external) ** (internal) * Canada ** ** ** * India ** Andaman and Nicobar Islands ** Chandigarh ** Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu ...

History Of Brazil
The history of Brazil begins with indigenous people in Brazil. Europeans arrived in Brazil at the ending of the 15th century. The first European to claim sovereignty over Indigenous lands part of what is now the territory of the Federative Republic of Brazil on the continent of South America was Pedro Álvares Cabral (c. 1467/1468 – c. 1520) on 22 April 1500 under the sponsorship of the Kingdom of Portugal. From the 16th to the early 19th century, Brazil was a colony and a part of the Portuguese Empire.
