About this document
Origin of the Prazeiros System by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the origin and formation of the Prazeiros in Mozambique. The Prazeiros emerged in the 16th century when Portugal granted large tracts of land along the Zambezi River to Portuguese merchants to encourage settlement and control of the territory. However, the Prazeiros ended up becoming practically independent from the Portuguese crown and managed their domains autonomously, focusing more on the expansion of their power than on the interests of Portugal.
