Brazil SHOULD have been a superpower, it basically has the same situation as the USA. Large farm, huge population, tucked away from the rest of the world. Why did Brazil never flourish into the great power it could have been? And where is Brazil going in the future? Besides the 2022 World Cup finals ;)

It's very common to put the blame of Brazil's (and a lot of latam's) lack of development on colonization, and it is a large part of it, but studying Brazil's history it also becomes very clear that utter incompetence is a constant.(the choice of rodoviary transport is a good example).
Mas o Nordeste tem isso até hoje! É um fato intrínseco ao Brasil, eu vejo com meus próprios olhos, corrupção, assaltos, morei nas duas cidades mais violentas do Brasil, moro na periferia e no interior a economia não é descentralizada! Sempre as cidades são controladas por famílias ricas e abastadas, é difícil você crescer com os maiores impostos do mundo, lutar contra a corrupção, criminalidade, concentração de riquezas, economia engessada... A única saída é a descentralização da economia, o que dificilmente ocorrerá.
This isn’t incompetence. It’s a political choice
I agree. I'm almost thinking that the consistency of poor political decisions being made, even with the advantage of learning from other countries, indicates widespread corruption.

Brazil: I CAN DOMESTICALLY PROCESS MY RESOURCES WHENEVER I WANT. As long as its tomorrow.
It will never be done because we rely on raw material to get foreign coin. If we process our resources, foreign people won't buy it and will cause a collapse in our economy... Or at least that's the excuse I heard.

@@seink9163 That's Bull because if they want to process it themselves, and we sell the already processed material, they will have to buy from someone else, or not process it themselves at all.
@@gbdornls Brazil is heavily reliant on imports for manufactured goods, even the agriculture which we flaunt so much about imports fertilizers, vaccines for cattle and seeds from outside labs... not even to talk about the machinery which is almost completely imported, every industry is so reliant on it that we are stuck trying to export as much as possible to make up for the rapid withdraw of dollars everytime some investor wants to build anything in Brazil... Also one of the reasons why foreign investors are kings who always get all their wishes fulfilled is because they can inject dollars into the economy, breathing much needed fresh air into it (But remember that no business injects money without the intent of withdrawing more in the long term, increasing even more the need for dollars to keep said investors with the hopes on being able to redirect their investments outside of the country) In fact even our inflation is based on the dollar heavily, the Plano Real which was put into practice to get rid of hyper inflation was basically allowing imports to set the value for products and force brazilian businessmen to keep their prices competitive, which means that when the dollar goes up so does everything in the economy. It begins with the need for manufactured goods and traps us into an endless loop of taking short-term growth through international capital which leads to most of the profits going outside the country while a said elite keeps the scraps of those big corporations... The lack of a trustworthy government also hampers any possibility of focusing the capital necessary to grow a manufacturing industry for heavy machinery, it becomes too costly due to corruption, not enough qualified labour and the lack of technological investment into making it a compeitive industry which brazilian businessmen would choose over the international alternatives.
Anyways, it all started with the British forcefully feeding us all their industrial products and ends with us getting screwed over by short term policies to band-aid macroeconomic issues due to political instability and an elite stands to profit out of this status quo... Short of a miracle like the politicians deciding to change their centuries long behavior or the international market collapsing and forcing us to industrialize, hope is bleak.
If we process it here the local economy will grow and poor people will stop being slaves. It is what was happening in 2005-2013 Era, the children of slaves were beginning to go to college, utterly absurd in the viewpoint of the country owners. Slaves were starting not only to demand more rights in their labor contracts but also go to court when said contracts weren't respected. Brazil is sinking, shrinking 1.5% per year on internal production this disaster was manufactured
I live in the Brazilian Amazon, and i want to add a few things:
1. The Amazon region of Brazil is not that hostile as shown in the video, maybe it was, like 70-80 years ago, but nowadays is perfectly civilized region, the reason why there are few brazilians living here in comparison with the rest of the country is because was (and nowadays still is) a unatractive region, is very hot, it rains a lot, and have a lower economic developed that the rest of the country (which means, less jobs, lower wages).
2. One of the main reasons why Brazil failed to become a superpower is because it failed to catch up with the capitalistic and industrialized economies in the 19th century, as mentioned in the video Brazil was the last country in the west to abolish slavery, The Brazilian government executed an poor land distribution throught the "Lei das terras 1850", and there was little to no incentive to transform the brazilian economy from agricultural to industrialized (There was a Brazilian Aristocrat to tried to do that, his name was Baron of Maua).
If you check the Brazilian GDP per capita in early 19th century and compare it to the one of the late 19th century, you will notice that there was very very little growth, in the same period countries like America, UK or even Argentina experienced an gigant growth.
(Sorry for the gramatical mistakes).
How hot does it get?
@@jamixflixs6329 it's practically over 30 degrees Celsius year round, with highs of nearly 40 degrees. And the Amazon region is not even the hottest in Brazil

It’s interesting to think, “What if Brazil was a superpower?” But I would argue that superpowers today might still hinder the Brazilian government from achieving such a status. Take the US. It’s easy to point figures at the US, but if their was a rising superpower within the Americas, it’s possible the US might view this superpower as a threat, and might send the CIA to stage a coup.
But in our reality, the US didn’t need to do such a thing, as mass inequality, corruption, and violence, all stop Brazil from obtaining a positive stance on the world stage.
USA don't want another American super power. CIA will send "FREEDOM" and "DEMOCRACY" to this country.
The CIA: "how do we destroy south american countries?"
South American Countries: "i gotchu fam"
Superpowers don't need other countries help or permission to succeed
@@dubstepXpower No they also don’t need permission to let other agencies mess with them either. The CIA has a lengthy history of conspiring with another countries politics and even inspiring or actively funding coups to elect a more submissive president to let America have better trades, routes, or just let American business have millions of workers overseas. Theirs a reason North Korea, Iran, China, Russia, all have ridiculous levels of security and paranoia. The US is a scary country that you would be wise to make your best friend.
I'm Brazilian, and apart from the "small settlement Manaus" (honest mistake for a foreigner), everything else looks very accurate.
A história da descoberta de minas de ouro no Brasil é quase cômica: durante 200 anos, não se descobriu uma mina. Nesse período, o governo de Portugal tinha decretado que qualquer mina de ouro descoberta no país pertenceria unicamente à Coroa Portuguesa. Em 1760, a Coroa decretou que apenas cobraria 20% do ouro descoberto (O Quinto). De repente, surgiram diversas minas de ouro no país. Milagre!!
O ouro no Brasil foi descoberto no reinado de d. Pedro II em 1687, sendo a época áurea desta indústria na primeira metade do século xviii, com d João V. Em 1760 já reinava d José, mas as remessas de ouro não eram a mesma coisa

Absolutely not true, many problems Brazil still has today date back to how it was colonized. Portuguese colonization in Brazil was brutal, the immigrants that came and became Brazilians were taxed heavily and did not even own their own land. It was very different than colonization in the US, the British were "soft" compared to the portuguese. They wanted to create a new prosperous land and populate it. The portuguese wanted to funnel all the riches of Brazil straight to Portugal. Brazilians never really did manage to shape Brazil how they wanted, we gained independence, yet still had an emperor, eventually became a republic, but never divided the land, it has always been in the hands of the very few. Brazil is a long story of unenfranchised people, squashed rebellions, and coup d'etat after coup d'etat after coup d'etat. Brazil isn't fumbling a game, it's doing this by design.
@@phosphenevision That's why the only 1st world countries in America are USA and Canadan
England didn't come here to explore the lands
@@atanaZion they definitely did I just think they were less experienced/focused. Portugal had already tested the colonization and slavery economic model in Madeira and west Africa, when they came to Brazil they already had decades of experience with it and a lot of economic success. They knew what they were after and how to get it. It also helps that places like Madeira had very similar weather to Brazil.
This video at times gives the impression that Brazil, had history played differently, would be a superpower comparable to the USA. I think that is definitely not the case. Sure Brazil could be more developed than it is, but it would never be the USA, or China, or a potential allied Germany-Russia. It simply lacks the geography to be a superpower of the highest order: (1) most of the country is tropical, not temperate climate; (2) the country is truly like Chile, but with all its many valuable resources stuck in its huge remote interior, which is cut off from the coast by an over-abundance of coastal highlands and a lack of navigable rivers. Argentina's geography is much better than that of Brazil despite its smaller size. In my opinion Argentina is more of a wasted country than Brazil when it comes purely to geographical advantages in South America. Also, not all of Brazil's history was negative like the video would lead viewers to believe. The video makes no mention that Brazil unlike the rest of South America was well on its way to become a developed country during the reign of Emperor Pedro II (late 19th century), being an independent kingdom rather than someone else's colony, and having infrastructure and institutions comparable to those of some European countries at the time. The way I see it, at this critical point in time the country was one reform away from being free to achieve its true potential: land reform - the power of the great landowners needed to be broken. Unfortunately, it was not to happen, because the large landowners deposed Pedro II through a military coup, sealing Brazil's fate as the eternal country of the future.

You forgot to mention the migration of qualified workers.
All the reasons you cited, mostly violence, cause a huge migration of very qualified people. Which in turn drains the country from any possible chance of industry diversification.
Also, migration is for the middle/upper classes as it is extremelly exprensive to migrate as a brazilian (in contrast of how easy it is to migrate from India for example)
I think it's still extremely hard for Indians to migrate too. You either need a degree in a high demand area (like nursing) so you could get job sponsored or already have a family member there.
@@dafeels3085 Right, I didn't meant it was easy by any means, but from Brazil you are either a very qualified worker as you said, and even so it is quite hard to get a job from outside canada ( I guess that applies to indians too...) or your have to pay a HUGE amount to go to college in Canada... I guess Indians could do that too and I don't see their exchange rate being any better than brazil...

I’m Afro-Lebanese Brazilian on my dads side, so I decided to study in Brazil for ~6 months in college. I studied Brazilian and Latin American economics and perspective, as well as international economics and management. The video makes a great point in that the Brazilian economy became far, far too important on primary goods production and exports (i.e. materials, mining, agriculture, etc) and this has caused huge swings in the economy. When primary goods/commodities prices are up, the economy does very well and Brazil booms, like the period of 2000-2012 or so. But when the commodities boom reduces and prices go back down, the economy shrinks. They rode the wave for that decade, and stayed largely dependent on commodities exports, without diversifying exports and the economy as much as necessary to combat the inevitable reduction in commodities demand and thus prices.
There’s also large disparity between the north and south. As mentioned in the video, slavery wasn’t abolished until 1888. The northern half of the country was its cradle. Where slaves produced and mined all of the exports. They needed to fill the southern half, so the govt offered Europeans free land to move to the south and bring their families and businesses to Brazil. Now you have a more developed, service focused southern Brazil vs the more commodities, agriculture based northern half. I studied in Florianópolis, a large and highly developed city in the southern state of Santa Catarina. I have the stereotypical Brazilian, Afro/Arab influenced light brown skin and curly hair. But when I researched the south and arrived there, most people don’t look like me. They just look white/European (especially German and Italian), because of the govt initiative I mentioned previously. Florianopolis is about +85% White/European. Very interesting history. I love Brazil so much and my time in Florianopolis was so incredible. Brazil has it problems, but I’d rather go back and live in floripa than to continue living in the US, where I was born. Brazilians are so warm and open and loving people (mostly). The mash up of cultures and peoples, you just can’t beat it. Sorry for such a long post, if anyone even reads this.

Countries in Latin America like Brazil, Argentina and Mexico are countries with great pontential but corruption holds them back 🙁
You can thank that to their lack of national identity which gives rise to enormous amounts of cultural populism, which _in turn_ is what breeds their corruption.
@@mekingtiger9095 But national identity is not lacking in these countries
@@jjj.jjjkkkkk I guess you can say that about Mexico and Argentina to at least some extent. Maybe Chile and Uruguay aswell. But as for the rest, including Brazil? Many of them were the result of geographical isolation and territorial disputes which got solved/unsolved by petty fighting between politicians without an ounce of actual nationalism being involved in there. Some are even so heterogeneous that its population has barely anything in common between themselves. The most screaming example of that being Brazil. It's so diverse and culturally clusterfucked that there is no room for a sense of union between its people. It only got culturally unified via an artificial process initiated by Vargas with intense populist propaganda. Even then, the work was left mostly incomplete, and since he died, brazilians have again had an identity crisis from the start. You can't have an unified people with a sense of cooperation and internal harmony in mind in these conditions, therefore no real sense of national fraternity and thus no one will be actively willing to step up and do _anything_ for their country. No one, and I repeat, _no one,_ will get up and fix the country's problems when they do not feel driven to fix it in the first place since for them their countries are mostly hollow figures with mostly "strangers" to them for the most part. There is absolutely nothing organic about their "national identities". They're aberrations of history which can only feel any sense of union and patriotism with a "Miraculous Great Leader" in charge. Their morale is so dependent on the myth of a strong charismatic political figure, in fact, that it's the _perfect_ recipe for corrupt politicians to control and manipulate them.
Latin American countries are nothing more than incomplete nations, if even nations at all. So repeat with me: *There is no such thing as a brazilian nation!*

If they can't find an organic bond that unite them as people towards a common goal, then they're better off separated from eachother, following their own distinctive paths in the journey of discovering their own national meanings and cultural identities. Either as separate countries or as wandering individuals. Even if it means getting hurt A LOT in the process...

Brazilians have a cultural "ignorance" of sorts that is very much historical. We never had much political stability ever since the Empire, which makes people "worship" political figures that would "make everything better". That's why Brazilians don't think about solving actual issues and instead battle each other in supporting figures that don't give a damn to people. It's always Populist President A vs Populist President B, both only wanting to get rich, influential and promising the world.
And that's why it never "takes off", because people are inherently into personality cults.

Brazil national dance is not samba, but moonwalk: we take one step forward and then we take ten steps back.
Cause not every country is gonna end up being a superpower.
About the 2013 protests: Brazil had the second highest GDP growth rate in the world from 2004 to 2012, unemployment rates were at around 5% and extreme poverty was being reduced drastically, but, since the damned year of 2013, everything has changed: we are facing either recession or stagnation (it depends how you look at it) and unemployment is around 15% to 20%. Although the protests had in fact mobilized the population against the corruption, it didn't change a thing (it actually made things worse). Now, not only we have the corruption problems you mentioned, but also we face a similar problem the US has: a country divided by two political parties where nobody is willing to discuss the real problems the country as a whole is facing, the only thing politicians are worried about is how to maintain themselves in the power. Finally, the future is dire: we have presidential elections next year and the two candidates most likely to win are Bolsonaro (the current right wing president, who is, at the bare minimum, politically incompetent) or Lula (the president from 2002 to 2010, whose political party and himself to be honest, are known for corruption scandals).
So, where Brazil is going? Nowhere for short. We won't be industrializing in the near future, in fact, we are incentivizing our economy to become more and more rural. So Brazil isn't the country of the future no more.
Sorry for extending myself, as a economist I am really passionate about the topic.
Your video was great overall and it did cover most of the reasons why Brazil is where it is today. Good job!
agreed
The 2013 protests was a fckng color revolution since then we went downhill
Na verdade não é correto dizer que estamos divididos em dois partidos políticos, o PSDB não existe mais em cenário nacional (apesar de ainda forte no reduto paulista), a divisão é entre PT e o Bolsonaro como pessoa, o partido da vez é qualquer partido que o Bolsonaro escolher. Muito mais que os EUA nosso país é mais dividido em personalidades do que partidos.

Thats right. As a Brazilian, I confirm, the forced Focus on agriculture and the lack of investment or the distribution of the wealth generated by it doomed Brazil forever.
Until this day, the concentration of land is absurd, and there was never a land reform.
If Brazil had a land reform at some point, the wealth generated by agriculture would foment small business and investiments in other areas. But ALL the attempts to do It resulted in the agricultural elite financing coups to maintain their Power.
Which means we should get rid of the parasite government and their monopoly of force, so big land owners can't buy it to guarantee their inefficient dominance.
Google doesn't buy any governments to keep themselves up there, so being a rich company is not the problem, it's being able to corrupt someone with the monopoly of force and 220 million modern slaves under that monopoly.
@@_Meres ah yes, cause the same big land owners that already have private militias stealing indigenous land are totally gonna break apart once theres no government... youre asking for feudalism if you actually spent 2 seconds thinking about it, no monopoly of force means armed land disputes and internal conflict. We already have part sof the country where the state basically doesn't exist, doesn't even go tax anyone living there, but i don't see ppl flocking to live in stateless favelas.
@@_Meres my man I live in a stateless favela as a friend pointed out. The state not being present only will increase the dispute of the armed militias and drug traffickers on the urban cities, aswell as the private armies that exist within the big farmlands from big producers. I study law and have been told of people here from Rio going to said big farm lands trying to "make the law work" only to end up assassinated.

Brazil is essentially what I would imagine the United States to be had the confederates won. It was a country controlled by large and rich farmers, with an economy dependant on slavery. With most of the wealth concentrated on a small elite population, the people never had a strong reason to form a stable and solid government such as the US. Now days, the people have little control over the government, companies are mostly monopolized and we don't produce any meaningful technological goods
Argentina is what the us would have been id the confederates had won, to be more precise, landowners, everywhere, minimal industrialiation, ect, ect.

@@Matt-bk2rt Argentina is much more economically screwed than Brazil, and besides, the riches it has are much smaller, I'm not saying that it doesn't have a lot of riches, but compared to Brazil it's small.

think of former gifted children that fail to exceed later in life
when you are raised absolute convinced of your ''great potential'' by basically everyone around you, you get to settle, instead of building a ''go-get it'' attitude you get comfortable doing the bare minimal
why try so hard, when you're so sure of your ''great potential''
when you're so focused on a promise of a future is too easy to neglect the present, ultimately dooming any chance of that future potential from materialising
and then the years catch up and you realise how little you've actually accomplished

The worst part was that Brazil had a chance to be a respected power under Emperor Dom Pedro II, possibly one of the greatest monarchs who ever lived. But he was overthrown by those corrupt aristocrats. In his last breath, Pedro said, "May God grant me these last wishes - peace and prosperity for Brazil." If only he knew what would follow him.

brasil should have abolished slavery on the time of independence
@@joacoolcipher Não é tão fácil assim, tem que ir gradativamente. Pega a abolição da escravidão nos EUA, eles acabaram num piscar de olhos, mas o que aconteceu depois? Guerra Civil. o Brasil aboliu a escravidão gradativamente, pra ter controle da situação.
Foi um tão grandioso monarca que foi expulso por meia dúzia de militares republicanos que não tinham apoio popular ou respaldo nacional nenhum, e saiu correndo logo pra Portugal, nossos antigos "senhores" ao invés de ficar e lutar por seu país.
xdevell na verdade, a campanha do Lincoln especificamente falou que ele não ia abolir a escravidão, mas o sul não acreditou e saiu da União. Foi só anos depois, bem no meio da guerra, que o Frederik Douglas conseguiu convencer ele a fazer a guerra ser sobre emancipação, em parte pra ganhar mais apoio da população.
3:20 is actually wrong, the native Brazilians/Amazonians built enormous civilization, but once they were killed off en masse by disease, the jungle quickly overtook most of their buildings as nobody was around to groom the area. When the Europeans returned to these interior areas again after 150 years, they thought there had never been any civilization there, as they could not find it.
Are you dreaming?
November 15th 1889 here's when everything started to goes wrong 😞😞
Man, I am Brazilian and I can say for sure that you are thoroughly correct. Corruption here is a massive problem, the main reason for most of all the others problems (lack of infrastructure, poor education, huge violence, etc). Recently, the “car wash” plan was basically “deleted” ( It is still working, but it bears little to zero political support, and the majority of politicians that were once in prison, are now free) by Supreme Justice Tribunal (STF), which means that all those corrupt politicians might be elected again. Such a wasted opportunity, I wish I could hope for Brazil becoming a true superpower, although, as a Brazilian, it seems extremely unlikely. Thanks for your video!
Entendo sua dor mermão
Literally because they vote for corrupt and unqualified politics to their government. Take Lula for example, people claims his government was the "best", but all of the modern day government that is full of corruption and inefficiency, increased a lot while he was on presidency and exploded on Dilma, causing the impeach and the party's downfall. Still, people want him back, which l find absolutely stupid. Guy was in prison, proved there was corruption on his government (which was no little) and now is running for presidency again, l won't be surprised if people would... or actually, will vote for him. Like l always say: Brazil deserves to be a third world country, because it's people want to. People having "politics as their pets" and refuses to see the truth. In a serious country with serious people, he would've stayed in prison. We are all doomed. Brazil will never become a super power.

I think one of the most important points brought up in the video was the one abou how colonization affected Brasil's growth, because when you really think about it we are still ruled by the same people who colonized us, and their interests are still the same, profits, as long as they have cheap labor and make money they don't give a shit about the population or the country's growth and development
Actually, it's now just being discovered that there is in fact many city that are being made by the indigenous Brazilian people. But the reason why it is not as famous or have remains like Andes or Maya civilization is that most of the city are made from woods and not stone which makes it easier to be reclaimed by forest and decompose. And also makes it difficult to find it.

@@HeadhuntexGamer The closest thing to a national identity Brazil has ever had was within the Vargas Era and no other moment (qell, there's the monarchy too, but that's debatable given how much of its legacy has been nullified). Even then it relied too much on glorifying him as a figure for the people to rally around instead of the population itself and its traits or qualities. And thus the beginning of Brazil's populist mentality has been defined. Honestly, by this point, the country should have been simply balkanized and fragmented into several smaller pieces, with the South having the most chances of succeding...
"Why did Brazil Fail to Become a Superpower?"
thats the wrong question. I think the right question is "how did brazil avoided becoming like africa?"

love your work, bro. I truly appreciate your interest in my country and it's clear that you did a lot of research
one thing I must point out, though. manaus has 2.5 million inhabitants in its metro area. it's not a small settlement by any metric
Another issue with tropical climates are that human brains are a bit like computers - if they get too hot, they run slower. Humans literally think and learn slightly faster in cooler climates, which is why up until air conditioning was invented most universities were located in the cooler Northern climates or up in mountain ranges. And there is a noted pattern of work efficiency increasing with altitude, the onset of winter, and with living at higher latitudes. You can't build a great economy if you get so hot in the afternoon that all you want to do is take a siesta. That is why siestas and all of their cultural equivalents were invented, and why humans - who evolved in hotter climates - naturally get a bit sleepy around midday. Sleep is a great way to cool down a hot brain. It's all about heat! Your brain is a bio-computer and works better if you keep it cold!
I've always said that. I'm Brazilian and I'm absolutely air-conditioning dependent, and I 100% believe countries have a higher chance of being developed if they have a cold climate.

I'm 30 years old and for my entire life Brazil has been right around the corner from an economic boom. I think I see an article about it once or twice a year.
Imo (as a brazilian) the biggest trap Brazil can’t overcome is a collective victim mentality of being exploited. This lead a good chunk of the population into a “advantage taking (compensation)” mentality as well as a need to look up for a savior which leads to really poor political decisions.
But that’s just my take based off my experience.
Yeah, everyone blames Portugal, corruption, blah, blah, but take no action, play the victim, keep on doing the "jeitinho brasileiro" and blame colonisation as the reason why it is not developed
The victim mentality, always waiting for the "promising time yet to come" and waiting for a savior are all key features of the Portuguese culture as well. Perhaps the biggest difference between the US and Brazil is that the first was filled with action minded people (poor scots and irish, a bunch of germans, and jewish people, all wanting to prosper and do business), while in Brazil, the portuguese never wanted to work. Maximum prosperity with minimal work. Which connects with the advantage taking that you mentioned. Unfortunately the colonial cultural marks are still left in the fabric of the Brazilian society to this day. It all depends on the people's mindset now and how it develops.
