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...

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...

While it would be a mistake to say that Brazil's independence was entirely peaceful, it was still thankfully much less violent than what took place in the rest of Latin America. A huge (perhaps the biggest) exception to that rule took place in Bahia, where the provincial capital of Salvador was...

What if Dom Pedro II's firstborn surviving child, Princess Isabel, had been a boy?

Whenever someone thinks of a united North and South America, they (understandably) think immediately of it being led by the US. But what if it was united by their more southern neighbor? Starting in 1822, how can we get a Brazilian-led unified Americas by the year 2200 (just thought giving 400...

At the pressure of Great Britain, the Empire of Brazil outlawed the importation of slaves from Africa in 1831. After a few years, however, the slave trade returned with a vengeance and the law was blatantly disrespected, with as many as 800.000 slaves being brought to Brazil in the period...

Like it says on the tin. Emperor Pedro was the first ruler of an independent Brazil, and his brief nine year reign was marked by internal turmoil and economic difficulties. He faced rebellions in Pernambuco and Cisplatina (the latter starting a war with Buenos Aires), the intrigues of his...

O IMPÉRIO TROPICAL “It stumbles, but hasn’t fallen.” The night of the 9th of November of 1889 was certainly one to remember, rare were the occasions where the Royal Family held a ball, but when one happened, it was a major event for the aristocracy of the Empire. It was an important day...

Hello, you know when I said I planned to do part two of Empire of Freedom by centering in Britannia on the 20th century. I feel burnt out by it, instead I desire a interlude between the two parts of the timeline. I have thought of two options: Império Tropical By a small PoD where a young boy...

Hi All, New here...I've had a bit of a search and can't find something similar so I'm asking for a bit of an estimation help for a short story scenario I'm coming up... - Napolean concurs most of continenal Europe before 1820, then North Africa to the Egyptian border. In 1850s he captures the...

Your challenge is to have things go significantly worse for the Brazilian Empire than they did IOTL. It doesn't necessarily have to outright end (either with a bang or a whimper), but it needs to be considerably less successful.

I'm writing this thread as i feel like "US-pliant Brazil" is way too common a trope in AH circles. I'm aiming for a conflict in a 20th century level of tech, but i've out this in Before 1900 due to the PoD. So, assume that Dom Pedro II's two legitimate sons survive beyond the 1840's, into...

IOTL, an example of gunboat diplomacy perpetrated by Britain, known in Brazilian sources as the "Christie Crisis", erupted against the Empire of Brazil in the early 1860's. The catalysts for the crisis revolved around the issue of extraterritorial justice: -The marooning of the HMS Prince of...

Inspired by the thread Robert E Lee stays entirely neutral, I wrote a comment about a proposal for a Robert E Lee who instead of fighting in the American Civil War, fights in the Paraguayan War. The idea was that he could fight on any 4 sides. Is this possible? I really hope it is because this...
