So we all know the Empire of Brazil collapsed after a very quiet coup which deposed Pedro II from power. Pedro II no longer really cared about the monarchy and simply felt what would happen happened. But what if Prince Afonso survived and learned under his father to become a good ruler? Does that significantly alter the course of SA history as Brazil becomes the regions great power?
I'm intensely curious because I've read about Pedro II for a long time and I've often wondered what might happen if the monarchy did survive in Brazil whether that could allow Brazil to become great power status by the 1900s.
