1636 CE

The Dutch had in 1624 occupied the northern portion of Brazil as New Holland, also known as Dutch Brazil.

The Dutch Republic from 1630 onward has come to control almost half of Brazil, with their capital in Recife, the port of Pernambuco, where the Dutch West India Company (WIC) has set up their headquarters.

The first synagogue of the New World, Kahal Zur Israel Synagogue, is established in Recife by immigrants from the Netherlands and joined by New Christians who are already living in the colony.
