The history of the Amazon shows some of the results of Portuguese expansion over Spanish possessions in South America from the 16th century onwards, as a consequence of the establishment of the Iberian Union. After the English, Dutch and French attempted to exploit the region's resources, the Amazon territory was dominated by the Portuguese who began the colonization of the region, which developed greatly with the beginning of the Rubber Cycle from the end of the 19th century. During the 20th century, development continued with the implementation of projects such as the Manaus Free Trade Zone and the exploration of oil in the region.
