Well, I liked that you made an article on Brasilian Expeditionary Force. But it sounds to me like you are a brazillian when you mention the battle of monte casino and none of the more important battles the Brazilian army fought. Montese, for instance, was much more important for the general theatre than Monte Casino was. It's just what i was used to reading and listening while I was at school and, after some research, I found was an idiotic view of brazillian participation in WWII.

Anyway, for those who say Vargas wasn't a dictator and that people rushed to his funeral and all, well, most brazillian military dictators were well liked by the general population. People actually liked Hitler until he lost the war. Even the jews liked him according to some historians.

um no jews liked hitler. ask my grandparents. why even bring hitler into this. he was a psycho who committed genocide because he blamed an entire people for his faults and problems.

Well, this is partly my fault. Jinxx was asked to write content about units that were involved in, or stories related to, the Monte Cassino campaign. That said, we can always write another article. There are certainly more stories to share than one article can hold.

Wasn't worth the effort for the tiny contribution at the end of the war but atleast all the money the US pumped into Brazil to build infrastructure pulled them into the modern world! =)

Also cmon 25,000 troops vs the millions sent by other countries. =P Hardly a huge contribution lol consider that the Soviet Union had 10,000,000 millitary deaths...

Getulio isnt a ditactor first he won the revolution of 1932 an then he was elected

this was the funeral of Getulio Vargas

The  only reason that Brasil was even able to field these troops was that the  Yanquis gave them all of the ships and planes and guns and even shoes  so that they would hopefully use them to attack Argentina, because we  were neutral and friendly with both sides in the war. More friendly with  Germany, of course, after they attacked the Russians. We had a  democratically elected and popular national government but the Americans  paid off our military to make a coup against it and we got stuck with  dictators for the next forty years. Maybe if they had been more  interested in killing godless communists we wouldn't have tried to sit  it out for so long.

Sure... I'm waiting for the comments saying that Argentina was a nazi country just because the US ambassador said that... Or, why not, Evo Morales and Hugo Chavez as nazi leaders too. After all, a photo of a soviet funeral proofs everything

The yanquis and damned british sank ships of both Brasil and Argentina, blaming the Germans for it, and violated our neutrality and that of Uruguay by attacking the shipping of neutral and their enemies in our waters.
Sometime I think it is a mortal pity that we did not combine and attack them and drive them out of our lands and help Colombia to recover Panama from their clutches.
