Why did Brazil become so powerful compared to other trashy Latino countries?

Why did Brazil become so powerful compared to other trashy Latino countries?
They don't even speak Spanish.

lots of people

The Portuguese half of Latin America didn't balkanize

>big = powerful
kek, never change sven.

this looks shopped

Brazil is undoubtedly the most powerful country in South America

Land mass is crucial to power. It's why Russia runs the eastern world while Canada runs the western world. We even have the US spending more to protect Canada than we do and their president is controlled by Russia.

>Canada
>Runs western world
Haha Canuck you need to stop posting under the americam flag

thread reminds me of pic related

> the most powerful country in South America
You say that like its some some sort of achievement. So they're the best one out of the crippled kids? lmao

Its an important factor but not the only one. Reminder that Greece has a bigger and better army than brazil.

fuck you farsalona

Because in the beginning they had good leaders, sadly that did not continue

>Brazil
>Powerful
Damn, I forgot we export most of the copper in the world

How old is this creature?

>So they're the best one out of the crippled kids?
read op

okay being fair, brasil has two extremes.

its extremely good and extremely bad at its worst.

Just imagine how this poor creatura has to hide himself everyday, so he doesn't become a soup ingredient.

This never fails to draw my attention for at least a few seconds. I've always wanted to know who originally posted this. Is it serious? Is it satire? An image of 2 swag fags, probably about 1.65m and 50 kg each....and this text. It's just genius either way.

200M monkeys is better than 30 million monkeys

>Why did Brazil become so powerful compared to other trashy Latino countries?
More white people, it's in great decline since the 70's cause it embraced shit skins instead of telling them to fuck off.

I think you and I have different definitions of "powerful"

Stop shitposting, memeflag. By your logic, Luxemburg is among top 3 nations on the world.

>They don't even speak Spanish
Exactly

This give me a lot of historical depression

We didn't balkanise because of a strong monarchy. This reason alone allowed us to "dominate" South America

We owe a lot to the Dom Pedro II and Duke of Caxias

>strong monarchy
>deposed with one ass kick
The Republic saved Brazil from balkanization since it integrated all the territory and killed revolutions

That pic just makes me sad desu, he didn't ask to look like that

Exactly when has "ammount of copper exported" become synonymous with power?
