It was a Halloween joke. But it kinda makes sense in a way. I dont think turre actually ever was any plan to invade brasil. Like the tanks you mentioned the was planned for defense and inner / civil war / security and to extoll and justify the regime. There are no flat pampas in corrientes and...

Quote Italian Fascism led popular organizations to an effective participation in national life, which had always been denied to the people. Before Mussolini’s rise to power, the nation was on one hand and the worker on the other, and the latter had no involvement in the former. […] In Germany...

Ok, goal achieved and with overkill - Happy Halloween Camberiu! I believe we all learned many interesting things today

Brasil became an American de facto ally during the latter, intercontinental occupation stages of the War. If you think about it goes back to the Treaty of Windsor I referenced in page 2. They did not maintain the line of true neutrality that Argentina and other South American nations attempted...

It was neither, it was a US thing, to my earlier point of almost total occupation of Latin America by the dead of Rosas 2.

[/url] Participating in an intercontinental invasion because of the sinking of a boat is an absurd and cruel excuse. According to your own definition of self defense it would mean Brasil should have limited itself to protecting the South Atlantic, not invading the aggressor's ally in the rear...

Argentina was rather demilitarized in the 1930s but strong enough to maintain neutrality over intercontinental affairs. Brasil was the only country in South America that sent troops to (invaded) another continent. Without that ugly exception South America would have been a war-free continent...

That is very myopic for a country with "BRIC" ambitions, At the time America was considered a single continent, not three, and Argentina was probably attempting to balance the continent, to protect little countries like Peru from the prevailing Diplomatic customs of the time:

Are you saying there were expansionist plans for Argentina? Self defense means power balance, that's why peaceful countries with no expansionist plans buy weapons. How would the mutual destruction come to be? Brasil had no nuclear weapons capabilities, as far as I know the total destruction...

Why would any Italian desire to be French? Do you know what MAFIA is an acronym for? Another priceless post. You forgot to mention the Pulqui jet was designed by a German war refugee and the Nuclear program started by an Austrian war refugee. I can see your point but let's be fair, all those...

Argentina sided with the allies after remaining neutral for most of the war. It never aligned with Nazi Germany. Sweden and Spain did in a way... at least more so than Argentina, unless you can prove the opposite. That's a very "you're either with us or against us" kind of attitude. Aa a lover...

You're 100% right about Texas, and I don't doubt you didn't failed to understand the point about California and Deseret, but your attitude towards Hawaiians is extremely Imperialistic! A nation is defined as a group of people sharing language, history (gypsy nation, russian tatar nation, etc)...

priceless!!! Thank you Camberiu. Everyone but particularly Westerners (All of the Americas and AustraliaNZ, and the coasts of Europe) should know more about the history of Brasil, but I find the ignorance of Brasilian history in Argentina is particularly alarming. I believe Uruguayans are more...

Please ellaborate!

what's your point? Newfoundland was part of the UK until the referendum, Texas, California and Utah (Deseret) were their own countries before incorporation and statehood. I said it was Brasil the only country that outgrew its origin colony without losing any part of it. I'm not praising that...

Cape Town btw, before the Australians would discover electricity in 1979 Buenos Aires used to be the uncontested most modern city in the Southern Hemisphere. Arentina 1910s Australia 1990s:

The English take the French colonies in Canada during some war that was called by different names in either side of the Atlantic. It is described by Voltaire as two countries shedding blood and emptying their treasures for some worthless frozen tundra in an unknown desert. The French Kingdom...

that's the same principle that makes good ellaborate food tasty
