 The Brazilian government eventually felt confident enough to negotiate a trade deal with the United States in 1889 , the first to be undertaken with any nation since the disastrous and exploitative trade treaty with Britain in 1826 ( canceled in 1844 ) . American historian Steven C. Topik said that Pedro II 's " quest for a trade treaty with the United States was part of a grander strategy to increase national sovereignty and autonomy . " Unlike the circumstances of the previous pact , the Empire was in a strong position to insist on favorable trade terms , as negotiations occurred during a time of Brazilian domestic prosperity and international prestige .

 Upon independence from Portugal , the immediate focus of Brazil 's foreign policy was to gain widespread international recognition . The first nation to recognize Brazilian sovereignty was the United States , in May 1825 . Other nations followed in establishing diplomatic relations over the next few years . Portugal recognized the separation in August 1825 . The Brazilian government subsequently made it a priority to establish its international borders through treaties with its neighbors . The task of securing recognized frontiers was complicated by the fact that , between 1777 and 1801 , Portugal and Spain had annulled their previous treaties setting out the borders between their American colonial empires . However , the Empire was able to sign several bilateral treaties with neighbors , including Uruguay ( in 1851 ) , Peru ( in 1851 and 1874 ) , the Republic of New Granada ( later Colombia , in 1853 ) , Venezuela ( in 1859 ) , Bolivia ( in 1867 ) and Paraguay ( in 1872 ) . By 1889 , most of its borders were firmly established . The remaining issues — including the purchase of the region of Acre from Bolivia which would give Brazil its present @-@ day configuration — were only finally resolved after the country became a republic .
