Question 01 - ENEM 2010 - Droughts and the economic appeal of rubber — a product that at the end of the 19th century fetched high prices on international markets — motivated the movement of human masses from Northeast Brazil to Acre. However, until the beginning of the 20th century, this region belonged to Bolivia, although the majority of its population was Brazilian and did not obey the Bolivian authority. To react to the presence of Brazilians, the government of La Paz negotiated the lease of the region to an international entity, the Bolivian Syndicate, initiating violent disputes on both sides of the border. The conflict only ended in 1903, with the signing of the Treaty of Petrópolis, by which Brazil bought the territory for 2 million pounds sterling. AVAILABLE at:www.mre.gov.br.
