Fun Fact

A land of incredible bio-diversity bursting with natural resources, Brazil gets its name from its national tree, the brazilwood or paubrasilia. The name was given to this country by Portuguese colonialists in the 16th century, because they would export the trees to Europe where the textile industry used them to dye clothing a dark red. It was a common practice for Europeans to name new lands after the resources found there, plus it was much catchier than the previous name… Terra de Santa Cruz (Land of the Holy Cross).
