    AHC: Argentine-Brazilian war in the 20th century

    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...
  4. WI: Brazil never gets Rio Grande do Sul

    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...

The city's low income population, already in a tight spot due to a bad economy and urban reforms that...
  9. Brazilian WI: Roberto Silveira doesn't die so young?

    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...

While his decline as a national figure was...

    Threadmarks: The Younger Brother

    Prince Pedro of Portugal was a willful young man, and his early life in Rio de Janeiro, away from the big battles happening in Europe, gave rise to a strong desire to take part in great events. When the Pernambucan Revolution came in 1817, defying the rule of this father in the Americans, the...
  14. PC: Tenório Cavalcanti, president of Brazil?

    Tenório Cavalcanti was one of those historical figures whose life would probably be considered ASB if he was a fictional character. Born in Alagoas in 1906, he moved to the state of Rio de Janeiro (more specifically the future city of Duque de Caxias, then a district of Nova Iguaçu), where he...

    l'Antarctique: A French Brazil TL
    Threadmarks: Chapter 1: A French Admiral and some hard wood.

    The admiral himself, like any self respecting Frenchman, he had facial hair of sorts.

  16. Brazilian WI: Getúlio Vargas wins the 1930 election?

    As with all elections during the Old Republic, the 1930 presidential race was less a matter of campaigning and more of making alliances with the powerful oligarchic groups that controlled their respective states, thanks to rampant fraud. Júlio Prestes won this dispute easily, thanks in no small...

    IOTL, Portugal briefly flirted with colonizing eastern Canada (Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia), while France attempted to take Brazil in the 1550's.
