Brazil

Brazil is a large country in South America. It was the last country in the world to illegalize slavery, which it did not do until 1888.

Brazil in Southern Victory
Throughout most of the Great War, Brazil remained neutral as it tried to ascertain which alliance system seemed likelier to win. This frustrated many naval personnel in the Atlantic Ocean, as a declaration by Brazil one way or the other would result in a major shift in the balance of power in that theater. The Entente also complained that it was hypocritical to refuse to ally with the Confederate States, which had banned slavery in 1882, six years before Brazil.

Brazil ultimately declared for the Central Powers in 1917 and extended diplomatic recognition to the Republics of Quebec and Ireland and the Kingdom of Poland.

By 1917 the Central Powers were all but assured of victory and indeed had already forced the capitulation of France and Russia. Nevertheless, the Brazilian intervention would have a major effect on the war by allowing Brazilian ports to be used as a base for a joint American, Brazilian, and Chilean fleet which severed the supply lines between Britain and Argentina, thus forcing Britain to surrender.

Brazil in Worldwar
Like all of South America, Brazil was conquered in 1942. The Brazilian flag flies in the palace of the 37th Emperor Risson in Preffilo on Home, among the other flags of conquered Tosevite empires and not-empires and the banners of all the once-independent empires of Rabotev 2, Halless 1, and ancient Home.
