RESUMO

The subject of this thesis refers to Belgian presence in west Brazilian border, between 1895 and 1914, diverging from the historiographical trends which affirm that Brazilian territory did not suffer territorial imperialist actions in the period. It emphasizes how the Belgian presence was intense, with the purchase of big tracts of land in the strategic west Brazilian border region, where the Brazilian state was weak. In order to strenghten its arguments the work points to the connections between Belgian actions and the development of the dispute over the Acre?s territory, in a context of deep changes in capitalist system and United States policies towards Latin America. This work tries to demonstrate that the solution for the Acre?s Question ordered the direction of Belgian presence in west border of Brazil. It emphasizes also the actions took by Brazilian government afterwards, in order to connect region to the country?s economic and political centre
