This has major ramifications IMO, firstly there were proposals for Paraguay to join the war against Juan Manuel Rosas that never materialized. But if it did, and especially if it happened, its impacts would be enormous. Firstly, Rosas is defeated even harder at the Battle of Caseros in 1852, and...

Previous thread in this topic by @GauchoBadger. So basically Brazil almost annexed the region of Chiquitos in 1825, and this resulted in a diplomatic crisis between Brazil and Bolivar's Gran Colombia. This also involved the United Provinces of La Plata, which was in midst of its own war against...

It has been quite some time since I've done a timeline here, so hey there! Long time no see I guess! So this might be my first attempt on a more political-centered project that I've been writing for a while now, in fact, it is an adaptation based on AHW's 1822: Brazil Split and the...

His assassination is considered to be the trigger that lead to the 1930 Brazilian Revolution and subsequently the Vargas Era (1930 - 1945), including accelerated industrialization, the decline of the old oligarchy and Brazilian entry into WWII. But also increased authoritarianism and censorship...

In 1968, the military government instituted the AI-5, a legal code that made the dictatorship that had plagued the country since 1964 even more repressive and dangerous. This led to a massive exodus of Brazilian intellectuals, singers and other people who opposed the regime. Your challenge is...

With a POD of 1959, your challenge is to make the Brazilian 1960s a more stable decade instead of being a recurring sequence of unstable events (such as an attempted coup in 1961 and a successful one in 1964). This also implies that you must keep Brazilian democracy alive, even in the context of...

If we can manage it, this happens sometime in the 19th century such that the armaments industry is well capable of designing and constructing a wide range of warships all the way to dreadnought battleships when that era is reached. Following that of course fast battleships, carriers and so on...

May 2nd, 1963, in the South Atlantic, a transatlantic fishing dispute had escalated into a confrontation and in time the standoff between two respectable navies would lead to global repercussions in a shot heard around the world, one in which would change international maritime law forever. The...

During the 2000s, I read Late Victorian Holocausts by Mike Davis, which said that Northeastern Brazil’s development was seriously affected during the nineteenth century by a coffee-dominated exchange rate that priced large portions of its sugar and cotton out of the world market. Whilst whether...

Your challenge is to have a war between Argentina and Brazil take place after 1900, you can make a war that involves the two countries on opposing coalitions if you so wish. Personally, I can think of two possibilities: 1 - An Argentina that outright supports the Axis during WWII finds itself in...

What if Brazil never managed to expand south of these borders (circa 1638), so they never get Rio Grande do Sul nor Cisplatina. How could it happen and how would it affect Brazil and other countries (that area could be part of Argentina or become its own country) I think Brazil would be poorer...

While Pedro I, first emperor of Brazil, had many mistresses during his life, his most famous and scandalous relationship was with Domitila de Castro, who quickly rose through the ranks of the court and was eventually given the title of Marchioness of Santos. As if the openness of their affair...

With the abolitionist movement in Brazil growing ever more vigorous after the end of slavery in the provinces of Ceará and Amazonas, newly inaugurated prime minister Manuel Pinto de Sousa Dantas, a member of the Liberal Party, presented to the Chamber of Deputies a bill which proposed to...

The Encilhamento was economic crisis that engulfed the young Brazilian republic in the last decade of the 19th century, caused by a government policy of unrestricted loans in an attempt to foster industrialization. This led to rampant speculation and inflation, and it wasn't until the presidency...

Despite its name, the Vaccine Revolt had no single reason, but was instead the culmination of years of popular discontent in Rio de Janeiro, then the capital of Brazil, against the Old Republic. The city's low income population, already in a tight spot due to a bad economy and urban reforms that...

Though he is rarely (if ever) remembered nowadays, Roberto Silveira was one of the most promising left-wing Brazilian politicians of his generation, together with people like Leonel Brizola, Waldir Pires and Miguel Arraes. Much like Brizola, Silveira got into politics at a very young age, and...

In our timeline, the Spanish-Portuguese War was fought between 1776 and 1777 over the territorial borders of their colonial possessions in South America more or less a border war between their colonial possessions in South America (generally stretching from the Rio de La Plata to southern...

One of the most respected intellectuals Brazil had in the 20th century, as well as a politician (he was João Goulart's chief of staff before the dictatorship, and became lieutenant governor of Rio de Janeiro in 1982), Darcy Ribeiro tried to succeed Leonel Brizola as governor of Rio de Janeiro in...

One of the Brazilian left's main standard bearers during the second half of the 20th century, Leonel Brizola saw his prestige slowly fade after the end of the 1964-85 dictatorship, thanks to the rise of Lula and the Workers' Party as a political force. While his decline as a national figure was...
