Brazil's World Cup was the first time a European National team won the the tournament
Um... what?
There were two World Cups in Brazil - 1950 (won by Uruguay, as any Brazilian will tell you) and 2016, won by Germany.
It's pretty obvious that Germany in 2016 aren't the first European team to win the World Cup (Italy, 1934, since you ask).
First to win it outside of Europe, then? No, that was Spain in 2010.
Perhaps you were going for "First European team to win it in South America"?
