Alfredo Perozo, Think of me as the Brazilian History guy

Updated Sat

Indulge a moment of raw historical data, will you?

Let’s see:

---

Population[1]

(1900 figures)

British Empire: 436,259,084 (330,567,600 in India)

Qing Empire: 400,000,000

Russian Empire: 136,305,900

French Empire: 78,790,700

United Stated of America: 75,994,575

German Empire: 56,367,178

Austro-Hungarian Empire: 47,295,100

Japanese Empire: 46,605,000

…

Ottoman Empire: 31,706,300

Spain: 18,594,000

Brazil: 14,300,000

Brazil had a much smaller population than Austria-Hungary, Spain, and the Ottomans, which by the time were by any reasonable standard second-rate powers at most. The 1890 census, made shortly after the Republic was proclaimed, by the General Directorship of Statistics (which had been terminated by the Empire) after it was reinstated, counted 14,333,915 people. Unless the Republic managed to make a few hundred million people disappear in less than one year, Brazil wasn’t remotely close to the Great Powers population-wise.

But surely it must’ve made up for it with the military?

---

Military Budget:[2]

(1900 figures, 1900 British pounds)

United Kingdom: 119,587,000

United States: 64,129,400 (data for 1898)

Germany: 42,328,690

France: 37,859,330

Italy: 18,117,000

Brazil doesn’t even make it to the list. According to this[3] the Brazilian GDP in 1890 was 17,317,000,000 US dollars from 2008.

Italy’s military spending for 1900 is equivalent[4] to 16,881,175,000 pounds from 2008. In 2008, the average[5] of the monthly average exchange rates between the pound and the dollar was 1.85385625. This means that the Italian military expenditure for 1900 amounted to 31,295,271,781.093 US dollars from 2008. Therefore, the military budget of Italy, one of Europe’s second-rate powers, was almost twice the entire GDP of Brazil for 1890. In comparison, the Brazilian military budget for 1889 was 1,679,544.72 pounds from 1900, making it almost 11 times smaller than that of Italy in the same year.

Unless the Republic caused Brazil’s GDP to plummet a few billions of 2008 dollars in less than a year (or the Empire had access to some really cheap hardware), this indicates a less than spectacular military prowess. In fact, in the mid-1880s the Brazilian Army had a paltry 13,000 personel, while in 1880 the Russians had 1,310,000 and the Qing had 700,000[6]. If all Russian soldiers of the time divided themselves in pairs to be served wine each by one of Rio’s citizens of the time, many pairs would be left without a servant; ditto if the Qing soldiers were each to be served by one of the epoch’s Cariocas.

Seeing as Brazil was a far cry from the Great Powers of its time in both number of troops and military budget, we better look elsewhere, for culture perhaps?

Literacy

In 1889, only 15% of Brazilians could read and write their own names. There were only 300,000 students enrolled in primary schools, and 12,000 in secondary schools. Only 8,000 people or one in 1750 had superior education of some sort, and Brazil didn’t have a single university.

Meanwhile:[7]

Not much of an intellectual powerhouse, eh?

But surely it must’ve been an economic powerhouse?

---

GDP[8]

(1870 figures, 1990 US dollars)

Qing Empire: 189,740,000,000

British India: 134,882,000,000

United Kingdom: 100,180,000,000

United States: 98,374,000,000

Germany: 72,149,000,000

France: 72,100,000,000

Italy: 41,814,000,000

The figures were calculated by Madison, who is also quoted by the paper in footnote 3 as giving a GDP figure for Brazil in 1870 equivalent[9] to 6,389,216,592.43 US dollars from 1990, that is, almost seven times smaller than Italy that same year. Heck, Mexico had a GDP of 6,214,000,000 US dollars from 1990 in 1870 — about the same as Brazil, but with four times less area.

Again, hardly anything worth bragging about, economy-wise — much less comparing with the Great Powers of the age.

The only sane veredict is, of course, no.
