Talk:Dutch Brazil

message: The Dutch capial in New Holland was Olinda. Let me get my history books out of the closet. --Wloveral (talk) 17:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You are wrong. Olinda was the capital of Pernambuco under Portuguese rule. When the Dutch took over, they moved the capital to Recife, renamed Mauritsstad. Olinda, being the main seat of the Roman Catholic church in Pernambuco, was actually burned down by the Calvinist Hollanders. 161.24.19.112 (talk) 12:34, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

message: User:Juniorpetjua‬‪ has raised issue with this article's statement "The sugar industry in Pernambuco never fully recovered from the Dutch occupation, being surpassed by sugar production in Bahia."
The article's statement is taken from Stuart Schwartz's book Tropical Babylons, which states on p. 170 that "The sugar economy of Pernambuco never fully recovered from the Dutch interlude and its effects. Bahia surpassed it and then remained the principal producer in Brazil until the nineteenth century." 
I'll let Juniorpetjua elaborate on his criticisms here.OmgItsTheSmartGuy (talk) 18:22, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

message: Under the section on the demise of the WIC, in the following sentence probably the use of the word "várzea" is incorrect in context. "That year, the Portuguese gained Várzea, Sirinhaém, Pontal de Nazaré, the Fort of Porto Calvo, and Fort Maurits. By 1646, the WIC only controlled four toeholds along the Brazilian coast, chief among them being Recife." Várzea probably refers to the flood plain of the Capibaribe river, one of the early sites of some very productive engenhos. I doubt it is an entity such as those it is grouped with.P2dwight (talk) 20:45, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
