Poland established official political relations with Brazil relatively recently. When Poland regained her independence in 1918 Brazil was the first state where Polish diplomatic mission went to in order to establish her first in history diplomatic mission. In the history of Polish emigration to Brazil we can distinguish a few periods of Polish influxes: the first period (1629–1869), the period of mass migration (1869–1914), the interwar period (1914–1939), the second world war (1939–1945) and the period after the second world war (1945 up till now). We can presume that despite this variety, the milieu of Polish migrants to Brazil was a group, whose social and cultural status was dominated by a peasant model (communal-country, conservative). They cherished traditional values typical for Polish cultural circle. This character of Polish emigrants in some way corresponded with the experience of Brazilian society. Looking for historical circumstances of Polish presence in Brazil, the author attempted to present in many aspects Polish-Brazilian similarities.

The scope of historical transformation starting from 1492 could have been caused by the fact that Columbus’s voyages triggered off the process of re-defining rules and connections in the New World inhabited by various peoples. Important questions were raised: how to reconcile the variety of cultures and historical trajectories with a Christian impulse, and mainly with a universality of human values which could harmonize social relations with the variety of peoples and cultures, permeated by the power of otherness and inequality. Those issues brought about political and moral dilemmas for America’s conquerors. One can state that year 1492 symbolized an early dawn of our own era and many towns which were founded in America by Christopher Columbus and his successors became a symbol of struggle for justice, equality and peace for many nations, with memorable victories and failures, the majority of which have been too easily forgotten or ignored. But the most important sign of this significant year 1492 was kindling of the holy fire of the future, which gave hope to release a vital force of America’s peoples, regardless of their skin color and country of origin.
