Colonial-era economic influences and the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance led to the settlement of English merchants and others in Brazil. After Brazilian independence, Britain was Brazil's main commercial partner; Britain financed part of the Brazil's industrialization, building railroads, including the São Paulo Railway (SPR).[citation needed]
In the 1920 Republican Census, there were 9,637,000 "Englishmen" in Brazil (probably, all British citizens were counted as "Englishmen"). The states with the majority of English origin were:
- São Paulo (2,198,000),
- Federal District - which was the Rio de Janeiro city - (2,057,000),
- Minas Gerais (1,709,000), and
- Pernambuco (1,123,000).[2]
Brazilian cities settled by the English during the same period, include:
Cultural influence
One of their major contributions at the cultural level was the establishment of several football clubs, including São Paulo Athletic Club and Fluminense Football Club.[citation needed]
