Giant Brazil

What would be the largest possible size of Brazil?

Could you get the Guianas?

Have a coast to the Pacific and CARIBBEAN?

Attach the bolivia (including your old coast)?

Is Paraguay divided between Brazil and Argentina?

Possessing the Portuguese colonies in Africa (Sao Tome and Principe, Angola and Mozambique)?

Brazilian colonies in India?

How does this affect South America and the world?

How would it affect the relationship with Europe and the United States?

I don't know about crossing the Andes, but I believe it is possible Brazil might have gained Portugal's colonial empire. Don't ask me how, though.

You need to keep in mind, of course, that more land does not equate to more prosperity. If Brazil is still a slave-holding nation into the 19th Century, still a society dealing with corruption and a large wealth gap, then no matter how much land it has it won't measure up to the US or Europe. Brazil needs to solve a lot of its internal problems, not just annex territory.

Could you get the Guianas?

Perhaps but probably there should be early POD.

Have a coast to the Pacific and CARIBBEAN?

Caribbean coast perhaps, but Pacific might be very difficult if not impossible.

Attach the bolivia (including your old coast)?

More of Bolivia is very possible and easy but I bit doubt that Brazil can get whole the country.

Is Paraguay divided between Brazil and Argentina?

Perhaps with even worse War of the Triple Alliance.

Possessing the Portuguese colonies in Africa (Sao Tome and Principe, Angola and Mozambique)?

Perhaps with early POD and more ambitious Brazil.

Brazilian colonies in India?

Not any chances. Too far and hardly it would be any benefit for Brazil.
