I'm thinking about a TL with an anti-UK USA, and some interesting stuff with Mexico, and Italy. My question is can Chile rival the USA in the Pacific? Can Brazil and Argentina become modern industrialized Nations, with powerful Armies and Navies en par with that of some European ''powers''? I would refer a POD after 1860s. I was thinking of eliminating Chile's civil wars. Maybe bringing Immigration from Italy to Argentina and Brazil instead of USA? I don't know too much about these nations history before 1900. I do know Chile was powerful in the Pacific. And about the South American Dreadnought race, but not much else until the Chaco Wars, and WWII. Something were the Valparaiso incident is much more serious. (even if USA is slightly stronger).

P.S This TL will have some alternate Republican Presidents, including H.C Lodge.
