in our timeline with the death of Pedro I of Brazil, Pedro II of Brazil becomes emperor and Brazil enters the regency period, it does the majority of stroke and becomes emperor

In my scenario like Brazil could have two or more people fighting for the THRONE OF BRAZIL?


A war of succession in the empire of Brazil, and if it occurs what would be the effects, in Europe, Americas and Brazil.

Which nations would be on the side of Pedro II and the side of his rival?

I did have a war of Brazilian succession of sorts in my timeline where one of Pedro II sons lives and the emperor was killed in an earlier coup attempt. Following that a war broke out involving most of South America and the US

In the late 1830s there were some politicians who believed that maintaining Brazil united would be impossible. The country was too big to be governed from Rio. They argued that Brazil should be divided in two, with a Pedro II reigning over the south and his elder sister (and heir) Januária over the north. From Minas Gerais to Rio Grande do Sul he would rule, and from Bahia to Amazonas (then Grand Pará) she would rule.

What few people know is that Pedro I considered giving Cisplatina to his daughter Francisca in 1828, where she would rule as a principate or grand duchy (one of both of Im not mistaken).

Someone could make a timeline in which all three siblings reigned over those three realms.
 
"What few people know is that Pedro I considered giving Cisplatina to his daughter Francisca in 1828, where she would rule as a principate or grand duchy (one of both of Im not mistaken)."

two problems with that is by 1828 Brazil was no longer in control of Cisplatina (Uruguay), and Francisca is only 4. a third problem is that there are no troops to support a Brazilian princess in a Spanish province. that's pretty much an empty thought to think (installing Francisca as ruler).

I think the biggest problem in the 30's is Pedro I bailing on the country he created. Naturally, during the anarchy years of Pedro II's regency, politicians were more concerned with carving out and preserving their own sphere's of interest rather than protect the unity of the country. Luckily, Pedro II became old enough to rush him into legal age, and he could become a stabilizing/unifying force.
 
to the original question, the only way I see a war of Brazilian succession is to have Miguel make a play for the throne of Brazil.

But, regardless of the players, it's going to be a domestic affair. No foreign country is vested enough to send troops. What they're far more likely to do is support various separatist movements, leading to balkanization of Brazil. no one much cared if Latin America was republic or royal, so long as they allowed European countries favorable trade/investment opportunities.
 
Could you get a Brazilian war of succession in the twentieth century?

Vargas, for some Vargas-derived reason, decides to restore the monarchy, similar to what Franco did in Spain. But by that time the Braganza-Orleans line has split into two branches. Vargas selects the heir of one of the branches, who becomes Emperor when Vargas dies, but the other heir makes a bid for power, backed by the right wing elements opposed to Vargas. The coup fails, but not completely enough that the rebels don't retain power centers (again similar to Spain in the 1930s) and civil war ensues.
