Vargas 1944: "Holy shit, my forces can actually fight! Better disband the whole thing quickly..."
South America history in a nut shell
Reportedly, he was tipped that they would try a coup.
Brazil is famous for coup d'etats backed by the army. Monarchy was abolished in a coup, Vargas get to power in a coup, Vargas was almost taken from power by a coup and ten years later we got a coup (1964) which lasted more than 20 years. Even the "legal" impeachment of our former president Dilma Roussef was backed by the military (some generals spoke about getting her out of power before 2014, and that if the congress didn't act, they would do) Nowadays there are rumours of another coup being projeted in our country by the army, backed by the actual president Jair Bolsonaro. Will it happen? I doubt it, but you never know until its done. So its understandable why Vargas would act that way.
@@Gustavogukpa And they did
@@matheus73210 now we have Lula and hopefully we may have abou more 10 years of no coup, to build the country again
Fun fact: despite being a dictator for about 15 years in Brazil, after Vargas was ousted from the government he winned an election to senator, and then president in 1951. It's like Napoleon coming from Elba; our Waterloo was his suicide in 1954.
Why did he kill himself?
@@jufref There was a journalist named Carlos Lacerda, who was a fervent opponent of Vargas (more like a politician, then), and after Vargas, he was expected to win the presidential race. However, a guy in Vargas's guard chimped out and independently shot Lacerda. He survived, and launched a campaign against Vargas (a conspiracy, more of a kind) and rumours of coups started taking place. So, alone in the Catete Palace, he shot himself, showing to the whole country the real nature of Lacerda, basically ruining his chance of grasping the power he so grossly aspired in the subsequent election.
@@vitorluigi2911 Thanks sir for the info.
The past tense of "win" is "won."
@@vitorluigi2911 basically by Vargas killing himself, he brought Lacerda down with him

@@portrasdamascara8750 that's correct but as far i know the BEF during their time in italy used mainly american weapons mainly the M1903A1 springfield and other weapons like M1 carbines, thompsons smgs and the M1 garand in small numbers and some of which were captured by the brazilians in dead american soldiers
**Expeditionary song starts to play**
Hans is right about the equipment. The BEF adopted american equipment in Italy, especially the uniforms, for some reasons: the inadequacy of their own uniforms to italian winter climate and the problems concerning friendly fire. Also, their original equipment (weaponry) was obsolete in the 1940's when compared to american, german, japanese, british and soviet ones.
Dictator: I’ll join the axis
James bisonette, the main financial backer of the allies: I think I could persuade you
Vargas was the only truly comitted pro allied dictator in south america, the US foreign office went nuts when he had a car crash in may 1st 1942 since he was the only dictator there who they knew it wouldn't try to join the axis
Also a fun fact is that he had centralized power so much that the government was shut down until he recovered from a broken leg he got from the car crash, hue BR
James bisonette is also first patreon on the list
Roosevelt: I think Brazil will join the axis...
James bisonette: Hold my Beer
Brazil: alrighty then, I'm joining the allies! Woot!!
LOLL
Just a minor mistake: Brasilia didn't exist during Vargas' lifetime. It was inaugurated in April 21st 1960. Back then the capital of Brazil was Rio. Aside from that, great video!
I was thinking exactly the same, but yeh I'm gonna let this slide just for now as it's a little pedantic and not very important in the overall video and its subject matter.
I think this is the only instance where a foreigner mistakes Brazil's capital for Brasilia. Usually, they assume it's still Rio de Janeiro! 😃
(In their defense, though, Rio was Brazil's capital for almost 200 years.)
how ironic, someone gets the capital of brazil mixed up between Brasilia and rio... in the other direction

The Free World: "Mustache Man bad, how will you help us?"
Brazil: "Smoking Snakes!"
Sabato has a song about the Smoking Snakes.
(It is said that) Hitler once said snakes would smoke before Brazil would fight in the war. You probably heard the story.
@@MaxHohenstaufen "it would be easier for a snake to smoke a pipe than Brazil to join the war". The saying was famous in Brazil and you can find an iconic photo of soldier Francisco de Paula loading a flak round with the inscription "the snake is smoking" written in portuguese on it. It's analogous to "when pigs fly" in english. To this day, the brazilian expeditionary force sleeve insignia displays a snake smoking a pipe.
A Cobra Fumou!!!!!!!!!!
@Kelvin well the losers certainly weren't either.
So glad someone is finally talking about the epic Brazilian troops. They don’t get enough recognition
sabaton - smoking snakes
Vargas was so chad that when he abdicate from dictatorship he said in a interview that he would vote for Dutra, who was is adversary and the general who threatened depose him, thanks to the massive Vargas's popularity Dutra won, but this made Dutra powerless because he hadn't the anti vargas's suport (even initially being opposition), and his own suport base was controlled by Getúlio, so Vargas garanted that his opposition stayed divided so he could run and win the 1950 elections
Clever catch-22
Cool
That is actually so smart wow.
@@shinigummyl1586 there's a reason why, even though the guy was a cruel bastard, he is still ALOT of brazillian's favorite president/political figure...
When Brazil joined the war FDR called him "Dictator in defense of democracy"
The same could be said about Stalin
@@karnickel-s33d16 Almost, since Stalin who created Hitler and used him as a spear tip.
The good neighbor policy ...
@@FullAdDariusBR Pretty sure Alois Schicklgruber created him
@@elseggs6504 I mean he taught him how to do things, Stalin even armed Hitler.
In Brazil, we learn that Vargas was a pragmatist leader. He waited till the last second to join the war, as he wanted to be on the winners side. That said, as an authoritarian dictator allying with democracies to fight dictatorships , he knew that eventually his power would come to an end, and just accepted it.
Edit: When I said that he "accepted it", I was only referring to his authoritarian rule. 5 years after being deposed as a dictator, he was democratically elected president, and upon realizing he would be deposed again due to yet another political crisis, he committed suicide.
he actually got elected president some time after the war ( i am brazillian i know what i am talking about )

I knew a veteran when I was young. After the war, he became a strong alcoholic, because the soldiers didn't have clothes for the harsh cold temperatures of Northern Italy, and of course, had no ideia of what really cold temperatures were like, so they drank a lot to have that warm feeling. Glad he overcame the alcoholism and became a pastor in the church I used to go when I was young. Died in 2010, may he rest in peace in heaven.
You mean in the Alps ?
Qual era o nome e era de onde?
I was expecting a Sabaton reference somewhere. Theres a song called Smoking Snakes. It tells the tale about 3 members of the BEF, who fought to the death against the Nazis. The Germans quite surprisingly honoured the brave heroes and gave them military honours.
The germans though they were fighting an entire battalion, but when they reach there they realize it was only three men. One of the soldiers decorated them for their great achieve, even though he would be executed for betrayal of the homeland.
The only thing I would point out is that Brasília hadn't been built yet as it was inaugurated only in 1960, so the newspaper would be more appropriately called "Rio Times" 😁
I was about to comment that
Too slow here, thanks!
Glad it's not only us wolves who can sniff out such (deliberate?) errors? ; )

Did they built a whole city from scratch and named it their capital? thats crazy
@@adrianoropeza8558 Yes. In less than 5 years
1:15 It's impressive how Brazil knew Germany attacking USSR and Japan attacking USA was a terrible idea, but the axis couldn't see that.
*It was a terrible strategy from the start.*
Which just shows the political fanaticism of the Nazis in particular and the mystical fanaticism of the Japanese that they couldn't see things that were so clear to everyone else.
when dictators start believing their own propaganda...
Germany really had no choice but to invade the Soviet Union. War between Fascism and Communism was inevitable and both sides saw this. The Soviets had not fully industrialized were developing their industry. They had just purged the overwhelming majority of their military officers. At the point that Hitler invaded the Soviet Union was as weak as it was ever going to ever going to be, at least in the next few decades. If Hitler had to fight the Soviets and to be clear he did have to fight them, then right then and there was the absolute best opportunity for victory he would ever have.
Japan kinda had no choice either. Yamamoto himself knew that they have a deadline of only a few years to defeat/demoralize the USA before they lose all their chance.
The US oil embargo on Japan is the heaviest burden they've had and their conquest for China will not move forward if they don't have that oil.
So they went on to invade the Dutch East Indies and get the oil there themselves; and their target is uncomfortably close to the Philippines, a US territory at the time.
Invading the Dutch colonies without attacking the US would probably push the US to go to war anyway. They either had to attack an unprepared US, or don't attack and risk going to war with a well-prepared US later.
It is clearly a bad idea, but it's the best bad idea they had.
The Sovjetununion was atacking themselfes and USA was inoficially in the war since the start
My favourite newspaper of Brazil: The times of a city that wasnt even on paper.
Vargas after convincing the allied powers to bribe him so he wouldn't join the axis:
"It's like printing my own money!"
Listen kids, If Brazil wouldn't had attacked germany we would all be speaking German and be eating Pfefferpotthast now.
Oversimplified?
Oversimplified reference
TF is Pfefferpotthast ?
@@Vanadium some German meal I believe
Not so much, the German wanted to conquer some parts of Europe not the entire world
And Germany was not the only country in the axis
Vargas: “I’m going to be an intelligent leader and use the conditions of the war to improve both the wealth and prestige of my country.”
Also Vargas, somehow: “Now I’m going to disband the army fighting for Brazil because people like them and they obviously won’t be upset.”
So in turn they disbanded him lol

Your pronunciation of "Getúlio Vargas" is perfect gahdamn
And that’s why, in the UN Security Council video, Brazil was considered for a sixth seat. In modern times, in fact last week, multiple countries defended a reform of the UN Security Council that would be more representative of the world, adding countries like India and Brazil, since these two are disproportionately larger than their neighbors they rotate with in the regular seats and would arguably deserve permanent representation.
It wasn’t, it was considered for the fifth member, but the soviets didn’t like the idea and brasil wasn’t that much interested
It was considered for a fifth member, get your facts straight. Also, countries want other countries to be on the security council because the US and Russia are the major powers there.
Brazil was destined to be the fifth member, not sixth.
Nooooo.... You've gotta be a GOOD DICTATORSHIP to be on the UN security council. Like China and Russia. And Australia who is currently CATCHING UP on the dictatorship bit. Don't ask how I know....

He wasn't ousted. He could have stayed in power for a decade if he really wanted to because he still had massive popular support. He stepped down as dictator voluntarily to avoid increasing tensions. He even helped to draft the democratic constitution and passed the government to the new elected president, Eurico Gaspar Dutra, personally.
He wasn't really totalitarian though, more like an authoritarian leader like Orban of Hungary nowadays.
@@caracaes Such a good fascist he was

Based, Pedro was probably the most competent leader we ever had
A curiosity that you can infer by this video: Brazil was only of the few(or even the only) countries to have mixed race battalions. Black and white people fougth side by side, while most other countries like the USA had their platoons divided by race. When BEF freed Montese, the population tougth the black soldiers were white people using facial paint.
I am so glad someone is finally covering this
The Latin American countries that joined late wanted a participation award, and Brazil was blackmailing James Bisonette.

As a Japanese Brazilian, I would also like to say that Vargas was also responsible for prohibiting people that migrated from (or were descendants from) the axis countries from speaking their native (or parent's) country's language (which were Japanese, German and Italian), and it was briefly enforced even after the war, up to the 1950s, it's one of the reasons as to why many people that are of Italian, German or Japanese descent in Brazil speak basically nothing of the language that their grandparents spoke.

Fun fact: Wanting to bring Brazil to it's side FDR came here and also Walt Disney and in that period the Brazilian character Zé Carioca was created.
Disney played a role in the good neighbor act showing the beauty and modern sights of South American countries we wanted to be on better terms with and alley themselves with us. This also opened up these countries to those who didn't think much of places like Brazil, Peru, Argentina, etc as Europe was who we believed were our equals.
Interesting fact: Brazil following the US and Canada after declaring war against the axis also treated japanese Brazilians along with italian and german ones bad too, however, they were not put into internment camps just had their rights infringed.

As a Brazilian I can say history doesn't get the recognition it should get by the people. Not many know where Brazil even fought in WW2 in the first place. It should be noted that the brazilian force was extremely unprepared and if we didn't get trained by the Americans, it would have gone pretty badly. Kudos to all the men who took this fight to Europe

@Mamaco The military government was very corrupt.
As a Brasilian, I'm scared of the next twists and turns we may face in the future.
Brazilian merchant ships were sinking torpedoed by supposedly German submarines, but it is believed that they were American to pressure Brazil to join the coalition. Brazil was pressured by both sides. In the end, Vargas made an exchange with the United States that built CSN, as a steel company, which remained as a compensation asset
Brazil joined so Sabaton can write an awesome song called Smoking Snakes.
I got to say in comparison he was alot smarter then the military leadership and the dictators of Japan and Germany ever was from a long term strategic perspective and viewing it from a outside perspective. And the National Socialist government of Germany was foolish enough to start attacking their shipping over it thus making another unnecessary enemy.
It wouldnt have mattered, they would have lost anyway
@@warcrimeconnoisseur5238
I know that. After watching TIK's videos about Germany from my point of view their worse strategic decision was declaring war on America. The decision to attack the Soviet Union was motivated by the need of resources such as oil like a hungry beast that needs food to feed upon.
But declaring war on America which held no advantage was the death sentence that sealed their fate. Should of abandon the alliance with the Japanese then.
@@thorshammer7883 They declared war upon the Soviets because of their ideology, remember the slavs are not germanic and with that dont deserve their lands and they needed slaves for their slave economy, if they really wanted to dominate Europe they should've stayed allied to the Soviets because alot of Russians, Ukrainians etc. really hated the Soviets and only started to like them after Germany wanted the war annahilation
@@warcrimeconnoisseur5238
Is that suppose to be a disagreement or something?
There was multiple reasons why Germany declared war on the Soviet Union that which you mentioned included but also because of resources which their military desperately needed. Going by TIK's videos they were experiencing a large oil shortage where they couldn't fuel their vehicles for very long. So the need of resources was also a factor as to why they did it. Also because Hitler's desire to conquer the lands in the area and colonize them in his warped head.
@@thorshammer7883 Yes he needed oil but he could've just traded with their, at the time, allies for it because the only enemy was the UK, so either H and his whole staff were dumber than a little child or his reason was mainly ideological
I never knew about Brazils involvement in ww2 until a few years ago when I was playing ruse on the 360. I got talking to a Brazilian dude called Oleg and he was a teacher. He taught me this in broken english. Miss the 360 days bumped into so many cool characters
Your videos are great. you always come up with topics that you never give much thought, but when I see them I’m always interested right away. Keep up the good work 👍
Very insightful piece of information. Thank you.
I knew nothing about Brazil's involvement until recently. For their relatively small numbers, they actually performed quite well and exceded their initially rather limited mission.
they took a crucial role during the battle of monte castelo
I have an idea for a video, "How humiliating was The Century of Humiliation?"
I wanna know how different the downfall of Qing and Warlord Era were compared to other dynasties' downfall. Is it actually so different that it warrants the title of complete humiliation or is it the classic Mandate of Heaven under different masks?
Given what I've seen, I think the only thing that made a difference was the length of time
The fall of the Ming dynasty to the Qing was much bloodier and was even a native Chinese regime being ousted by a foreign one rather than a foreign one being fucked over by other foreign ones followed by a native popular uprising.
The Manchurian conquest of China (And also the Mongol conquests of China) were much quicker than the decades of deliberate fucking over that the west collectively did.
I think it's quite simple. The fall of dynasties before were either an internal affair of a new heroic people taking over the now corrupt Royalty that had loss their heavenly mandate, a reunification of a broken China from a previous weak dynasty or an external force conquering and quickly turning chinese themselves.
The century of Humiliation saw external powers bossing China around just to take advantage of it, rather than conquer it for themselves as it was the custom + A gigantic loss of China's historical sphere of influence in places like Mongolia, Indochina, Korea and Japan to those same foreign powers
*Century. The term refers specifically to the period from the Opium Wars to the end of WW2.
The fact that we call it the Warlord Era says a lot in of itself. It took China a long time to reunite after the Qing dynasty fell, between attempts at new governments and a lack of power and legitimacy in the remnant of the dynasty. Even though the Nationalists did the Northern Expedition and gained some authority by retaking Bejing...they still had their capital at Nanjing. Culturally there was an attempt to disconnect from the old Imperial culture and system, to westernize and modernize (somewhat).
It's a dense read but I recommend looking at The Search for Modern China by Johnathan D. Spense. It goes into a lot of detail on that particular era, as well as the leadup to it during the Qing.

Japan: “The allies sent us a letter.”
Germany: “What does it say?”
Japan: “It says we’re going to Brazil.“
Germany: (calmly walks outside and accepts defeat)
And then hitler went all *insert the Downfall scene meme here*
Hitler killed him self bc he don’t want to go to Brazil
And they actually came to Brazil, and to Argentina, and Uruguay, and maybe other South American countries.
Brazil's involvement made no difference in the outcome at all. They joined bc they wanted a seat at the victors table. Germany was no threat to them and had no interest in Brazil.

My boyfriend is Brazilian and loves learning about ww2, but as a American i was always confused why brazil even did anything in the war, thanks for teaching me something new and creating a video i know my boyfriend will love
This same Getúlio Vargas who spent 15 years in power in Brazil (1930 - 1945) became president again, this time democratically 1951 to 1954, although this second government of yours ended tragically since for a number of reasons he was suffering he ended up committing suicide at the Palace of Catete, in Rio de Janeiro.
Here in Brazil many people love him but many people hate him.
There is the information
Tell your boyfriend: "O certo é biscoito, não bolacha". He will understand.
@@funkyreapercat5280 depends, if he's from the south than that's a REALLY bad idea. Also, "bolacha é o certo".
Nice to see you here!

Grats on 1mil!
Genuinely didn't know Brazil actually fought in the war. Nice little nugget of information !
yeah, the BEF pretty much secured Italy for the Allies.
@@jgr7487 No it did not. While it was an important part in their sector and their help cannot be understated, to say their involvement had a bigger impact on the Italian campaign itself is a falt out lie.
It numbered 25 000 soldiers.
The Allies had a total of 1.5 million men deployed to italy in April 1945
@@jgr7487 25,000 Brazillian Soldiers did not secure Italy for the allies. They did a cracking job but were a very small part of operations with over 2 million troops.
Yeah Brazil won the war alone
@@joshs3066 Nah mate u wong, actualy Brazil has literally won the entire war in the western front and single handed fought the axis
You should stop listen to the liberal media and go study moar, lolz
Curiosity about the Brazilian Expeditionary Force: until 1940 the general Mascarenhas de Morais wanted to integrate at least 100 thousand soldiers in case of fighting along side the Allies in Europe, but fun fact: Getúlio didn't wanted that to happen because he still wanted to be friendly with Germany and Italy
If Brazil didn't enter the war, today it would be called "enemies of humanity" in history books...
1 MILLION SUBS!!! Congrats and GG!!!
Congrats on 1m subs bro! Well deserved!
Fantastic video!! My grandfather was part of the BEF, he lost one leg and his friend in battle. He never talked much about the war, only showing his medal, pictures and the uniform. I'm so proud of him!
We need an episode about why Argentina so loves military coups
answer- usa
It's because of the USA
@@samuel....986 First coups were British backed. US coups backing started in 1955.
Why did France, Spain, Chile, Brazil, SKorea, Taiwan...
Not as much as thailand
Congrats on 1 mil subs, you deserve it… and much more

When an Austrian man took over Germany invades poland so you as an Italian have to fight the Brazilians who have invaded your country along with America and Britain.
That's why it's called... a world war
Worse if you're an Italian immigrant to Brazil, so a) you got back to Italy and now have to fight your old neighbours, or b) you got conscripted and the same thing's happening
Don't forget the polish, Indians and Arabs
@@vulpes7079 There were in fact a lot of italian (and a few german and japanese) men in the brazilian army back then.

Finally a video about the history of my country
I think that a video about the estado novo in Brazil or about the empire would be interesting
...
I have a question. Was Vargas good at leading Brazil or was he bad at it?
@@luket.9113 depend who you ask
Have some people that like him, because he made the economy better and because he created labour rights
And have other people that say he was a dictator
@@luket.9113 kind of, he did develop Brazil, but never managed to get it out of the third world status.
@@samuel....986 Well, he was both of these.
"DO IT YOU COWARD!"
We need more headlines like this.
great video..this is a period so complex in Brazil's history (complex = complete mess), and you did such a great job resuming in 3 minutes! One extra thing to consider: this popularity from the BEF and the army itself played a major role in the 1964 military coup
1 million! Way to go History Matters!
Allies: “Latin America, are you with us or against us”

Argentina: “… do we have to?”
Brazil is not latin american.

How?
@@freiervogel3440 A Latin speaking country in America? I feel like it qualifies
@@freekmulder3662 America is a country, not a continent. Language has nothing to do with this topic, so no, it does not "qualify".
@@freiervogel3440 America is not a country, its just used as the short for united states of america sometimes. And Brazil IS Latin American, what the hell do you mean language has nothing to do with this? Portuguese is descended from Latin.
I don't know why but Hitler looks a little different to how I remember him in these videos
Used a different model, this one might be the first vid with the new model, but I don’t remember.

I love your animations and videos. Thank you
Love the Brasilia Times newspaper, since Brasilia would only be officially inaugurated in 1960.
Vargas: "BEF, you are fired"
BEF: "não, você é"
This begs the question of how one says "Uno Reverse Card" in Portuguese
@@nathaniellindner313 carta reversa or carta inversão do sentido :p yw
Replace "não, você é" with "não, você está."
In portuguese the verb ser is the verb to be when referring to a permanent attribute, and estar for changing/conditional attributes. I'm not sure if i explained it well. It's just like spanish.
congrats on a million subscribers!
These videos are so good! Greetings from Costa Rica.
As a Brazilian, I like this
Great that you made a video about the FEB (Força Expedicionária Brasileira). And it's so nice to see your dedication to details beyond history itself, such as the characterization of Mascanheiras de Morais, FEB's commander, who had grey hair. :)
