    New Republic, New Elections - A Brazilian TL

    Hi, I wanted to do a TL on my own for the first time. My main inspiration for this idea is the Birth and Rise of the New Republic TL made by @Vinization . This TL will have a lot of focus on the main political events, however, it won't be as detailed as a TL about politics normally is. I wanted...

    If Brazil maintained its union with Portugal, how soon would slavery be abolished?

    Let's say the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves survived and Brazil continued to be the capital of the Portuguese Empire. With the passage of time the colonial empire would be more and more Brazilian than Portuguese. So how long would slavery in Brazil survive and how would it...
  3. AHC: Earlier Brazilian independence?

    How could Brazil have become independent at a much earlier date than in OTL? Is it possible for it to happen even before the Spanish colonies?
  4. WI: 294 to win - a Brazilian Electoral College TL

    So i've been thinking about this what if Brazil had an ecletoral college time line for a while and decided to post it here in AH.com BUT FIRST SOME WARNINGS 1) Brazil is (obviously) bigger than OTL, i did this so the TL dosen't just end in two posts or so and so the elections are more dinamics...

    What If Spain invades Portugal early

    I am planning a Time line and would love to see some discussion on the scenario below. The premise is that the Spanish under the direction of prime Minister Manuel Godoy is able to start a war with Portugal a decade earlier then OTL. In 1797, a year after the Second Treaty of San Ildefonso with...
  6. Adhemar de Barros Presidency in 1955

    Surprisingly this hasnt been discussed much if at all in here. How would a Adhemar de Barros presidency look like? Getúlio would have to somehow stay alive and with decent popularity for the election, fulfilling his promise of supporting Adhemar in it. Would 64 still happen? Any predictions in...

    the 1965 Presidential Elections take place and are not prevented
    Threadmarks: My vote

    As we already know, the 1965 election was supposed to have taken place, had there not been the 1964 coup or if Castelo Branco had had a strong grip on maintaining its decision, but as it is an alternative universe, the elections would not have been impeded, and the candidates would have launched...

    1989: Afif Domingos is elected president of Brazil

    Hello person, well, this is my first trend in AH, and to start I decided to make a series of trends about the Brazilian presidential election of 1989, where Collor was elected, but as it is about alternative history, I decided to put to debate how it would be if other candidates had been elected...
  9. WI: earlier abolition of slavery in Brazil.

    Greetings, fellow forum members! Today I learned there was a plan to abolish slavery in Brazil a lot earlier than how it happened in our timeline. The plan was made by José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva, one of the main "architects" of the brazilian independence and who helped to create the...
  10. What would be the consequences if Brazil had kept the parliamentary system after it became a republic in 1889 ?

    So what I ask here is: What would be the consequences if Brazil had kept the parliamentary system after it became a Republic in 1889?
  11. Portuguese colonies if the Iberian Union lasts longer

    In this TL the Iberian Union survives for a lot longer, a few centuries at least. My question is what happens to some Portuguese colonies, specially Brazil. Without the competition between Spain and Portugal, would Brazil still expand westwards? Or does the crown make them respect the Line of...

    Brazilian balkanization = Different portuguese languages? A thread for linguistic speculation

    It's a well known fact that in our timeline Brazil could have followed a similar path to the rest of Latin America and been separated into many different countries With that in mind, we have dialects and accents in parts of the country to this day, which is natural considering the continental...

    How likely was Brazilian expansion?

    Brazil is a big country, it is in fact larger than the Contiguous United States. It is frankly amazing that Brazil is so enormous, given that it was colonized by such a small country. However, with a POD of the Treaty of Tordesillas, is it fair to argue that it was a given that Brazil/Portuguese...
  14. Henrique Lott becomes president of Brazil in 1960?

    For a brief time, from November 25 to December 5 1959, former governor of São Paulo Jânio Quadros (an incredibly erratic character, to put it mildly) gave up on his campaign for the upcoming presidential race, which was scheduled to happen next year, before backtracking on his decision. Backed...
  15. AHC: Spanish Viceroyalties don't break apart

    How could the Spanish viceroyalties avoid breaking up and forming smaller countries after independence? They may lose some territory but overall the new country should be a modern version of the original viceroyalty. Mexico never loses it's southern territories, Gran Colombia remains intact...

    What if Getúlio Vargas had not committed suicide in 1954?

    Hi, first post here As we know, Getúlio Vargas committed suicide in 1954, ending the Vargas era, but what if he had gotten rid of that idea and decided to face what was to come? What would change in history in Brazil?
  17. (WI) A More successful Revolt of the Alfaiates?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1798_Revolt_of_the_Alfaiates This failed revolt in Bahia was quite radical for the time, with propositions such as the foundation of a republic, emancipation of the Slaves, Racial Equality etc., mainly inspired by the recent American revolution and Illuminist...

    How did a Kingdom of Brazil evolve that became independent in 1683?

    This is part of a larger timeline which I called "Habsburg Concordia", which explores a world where the Habsburgs won the 30 Years War, in this topic I want to explore a specific country, Brazil and how PoD can modify your story...

    Threadmarks: Primeira Noiva

    On 1516, after the birth of Infante Antonio, Maria of Aragon would recuperate but she would not give birth again afterwards and survive her husband after his death in the plague for a few years and die in 1523.

    AHC: Earlier Brazilian Republic WITHOUT total balkanization

    With a POD of 1822, how early can you get Brazil to get rid of its Monarchy and become a Republic WITHOUT it totally collapsing into multiple nations. Now, you can have some states leave the Union, but nothing too egregious, think of it like you can balkanize a little without Brazil losing its...
