The first official contact between Austria and Brazil occurred in November 1817 when Austrian Archduchess Maria Leopoldina of Austria arrived to Rio de Janeiro to marry Crown Prince (and future Emperor) Pedro I of Brazil. Maria Leopoldina became Empress of Brazil in 1822 and is also the mother of Emperor Pedro II of Brazil. [1] In 1825, Austria recognized the independence of Brazil from its separation from Portugal. [2] In 1859, the first Austrian immigrants began arriving to Brazil. [1]
In 1871, Emperor Pedro II paid a visit to Austria during his first European tours and met with his cousin Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria. [3] While in Vienna, Pedro II paid his respects to the tomb of his daughter, Princess Leopoldina of Brazil, who died in Vienna earlier that year. [2] Pedro II would return to Austria for second time in 1877. [2]
In 1891, Austria recognized the Republic of Brazil, two years after the abdication of Emperor Pedro II. In 1925, Austria opened a consulate in Rio de Janeiro. While Austria & Brazil were technically on the enemy sides in WW1, Brazil wasn't really hostile to Austria and only declared war on Germany in October 1917. During World War II, Brazilian Expeditionary Forces fought in Italy against German troops (which also included Austrian soldiers) during the Italian campaign. After the war, Austria and Brazil re-established diplomatic relations.
In December 1952, Brazil presented a preliminary draft resolution at the United Nations General Assembly to restore the full sovereignty of Austria. The preliminary draft was accepted with 48 votes. The initiative did not have immediate direct effects, however, it contributed to that, in a difficult time, the discussion about an Austrian State treaty remained on the international agenda. [1] In 1992, Austrian Chancellor Franz Vranitzky paid a visit to Brazil. In March 1997, on the occasion of the bicentenary of the birth of Maria Leopoldina of Austria, a monument of her was inaugurated in Parque Quinta da Boa Vista, in front of the National Museum of Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro. [1] In 2006, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva paid a visit to Austria, the first by a Brazilian President. There have been numerous visits between leaders of both nations. [2] [1]
In 2019, there was a community of 10,000 Austrians living in Brazil. [4] In 2015, there was a community of 4,900 Brazilians living in Austria. [2]
