 *From 1824, immigrants from Central Europe started to populate what is nowadays the region of São Leopoldo, in the province of Rio Grande do Sul. These German immigrants were mainly "oppressed peasants and former soldiers of the army of Napoleon".
 *Between 1820 and 1876, 350,117 immigrants entered Brazil. Of these, 45.73% were Portuguese, 35.74% of "other nationalities", '''12.97% Germans''', while '''Italians and Spanish together did not reach 6%'''. The total number of immigrants per year averaged 6,000. Many immigrants, particularly the Germans, were brought to settle in rural communities as small landowners. '''They received land, seed, livestock and other items to develop.'''
+*From 1877 to 1903, almost two million immigrants arrived, at a rate of 71,000 per year. Large numbers of Europeans, '''especially Italians''', started to be brought to the country to work in the harvest of coffee.
+*From 1904 to 1930, 2,142,781 immigrants came to Brazil. Italian immigration had, at this stage, a drastic reduction: in this period they were only 19,000 annually. The '''Portuguese''' constituted 38% of entries, followed by '''Spaniards''' with 22%. A number of '''Jewish immigrants'''' arrived in the 1920s.
