>czechs don't learn about the 2nd largest country in the Americas, even in the context of Portuguese nobility fleeing Napoleon, but I learned about hussites and the battle of white mountain >>25482208 That's unironically republican propaganda. At first they copied the US flag but made a joke out of themselves thanks to it. Then they just edited the imperial flag and claimed it was theirs. The republic was a dictatorship from day one, they had no popular support, it was basically oligarchs mad at the end of slavery and the military going for a power grab. It was such a mess that Deodoro da Fonseca, who was portrayed as the great republican leader behind the coup, didn't even know he was declaring a republic, he thought he was just replacing the cabinet because he had a rivalry with the new PM over the fact he had a crush on the woman that guy shagged. This great leader was also a frail old man who was in bed when mysterious "republicans" carried him out of bed and put him on top of a horse for his triumphal march, but he could barely stay on the horse without falling down. >>25482364 Who was basically a scientific socialist. Ironic considering the rebranding the army attempted to do later as supposed anti-commies, but they've always been leeches who were mainly concerned with top brass getting fat gibs and lower patents feeling powerful even though they were useless losers. And most of those leeches are from Rio even though they love to talk about how they proved their heroism in the Paraguay war, where the vast majority of soldiers were gaúchos. The brazilian army is a fucking joke and always has been. It's sad because a country needs a decent army to be a serious nation but of course the army wanted to ensure we remained a shithole colony.
