A land of passion that will devour the world, a country of passion! 
A colorful carnival filled with samba music, soccer that makes your heart pound with exciting rhythms, the Amazon jungle full of mystery, and the lingering scent of coffee lingering in your head. Brazil is a country that usually has this image imprinted on us. However, they are an economic powerhouse that leads the economy of South America and the world, a technological powerhouse with high-level technology in cutting-edge scientific fields such as aerospace and aviation, and a resource-rich country with large amounts of resources including oil and iron ore. Many scholars predict that Brazil will soon become one of the world's leading countries. However, the dark side of development has resulted in suffering urban poverty and serious crime rates, which have become a huge problem that Brazil must solve. 《Why? “World History by Country Brazil” covers everything about Brazil. Based on history, it is designed to make it easy to understand their culture, society, politics, and economy. You can learn about the process of development and pain that Brazil has gone through to reach what it is today, and by looking at the various aspects of Brazil today, you can understand its characteristics, strengths and weaknesses. Because it is explained from an objective and rational perspective without relying on any historical perspective, readers who read this book can fully accept each and every aspect of Brazil from the perspective of people around the world. And based on this, we will be able to look back on ourselves and provide an opportunity to think about the role we should play in the world and the direction we should move forward. 

◈ Planning intention
“Let’s become a global talent who communicates with the world”
The current world is often called the global era. The world is already intertwined like a spider's web through SNS (Social Networking Services) such as Twitter and Facebook, which has made it possible to communicate with each other, such as exchanging opinions and interests in real time, across borders and racial barriers. With the development of transportation and communication, this phenomenon will become more pronounced as time goes by, and by the time today's children become the center of society, language barriers will have been eliminated and the world will literally become like a 'village'. Communication can be more effective and authentic when you know the other person well. This means that true communication takes place when you understand the other person’s history and cultural background.
Following ‘World History by Era’, it continues with ‘World History by Country’. While 'world history by era' looks at the history of the world based on time from the birth of mankind to today, 'world history by country' is a brief overview of the world's major countries, from Europe and South America as far away as neighboring countries such as China and Japan. It focuses on understanding a country as a whole by comprehensively covering history, natural environment, politics, economy, society, and cultural aspects.
The history of a country is filled with times of shining glory and harsh trials. Each country has achieved what it is today by sometimes enjoying glory and overcoming trials. I hope that this will be an opportunity to get to know and properly understand countries that you have only vaguely known about or did not know about. In addition, we hope that through 'World History by Country', you will lay the foundation for becoming a global talent who can freely communicate with people around the world and develop your dreams for the world.

◈ Content composition
