But after the Indepedance, Sao Paulo state received many portugueses and tons of spaniards in the Old Republic. The 700.00 spaniards misteriously dissapeared and got extinct after some decades. Maybe an ethnic cleaning happened in Sao Paulo and all the prooves were destroyed by Vargas! Italians also came in tons and tons to Sao Paulo since the Empire, they were responsible to populate all the state, but in the countryside they are the big majority of many cities, they were the first responsible to inflate Sao Paulo population with a high reprodution rate. Its a really hard dispute.
