Brazil was the only country in Latin America that formally participated in both World War I and World War II, each time as a member of the Allies. Though Brazil’s role isn’t much talked about, the whole period between 1914 and 1945 was vitally important to the emergence of the country as a modern economy and a major player on the world stage. In this video we’ll examine what happened, why Brazil declared war (twice), how its armies and navies took part in the conflicts, and what it all meant in the end.
