    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 ;)

    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).

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.

      @@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.

    Brazil was never a nation. In this short video there is information that the entire Brazilian academy denies: There is no way for a nation to exist if people simply have no reason to unite. If Brazil is invaded and a foreign nation dominates, the only thing that will change will be the flag, the rest will remain the same. Who will fight for a homeland that does not exist? Who is willing to give their lives for bureaucrats? Brazil is basically Russia without a Lenin in its history.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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!!

    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. I just love Brazil so much. Eu tô morrendo de saudade do Brasil 🇧🇷😓

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.

    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!

      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.

      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

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

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.

      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.

    To sum up, we failed because of corruption, poverty, violence and negligence. Some of the issues are Portuguese heritages, but that's still not an excuse since we're on our own for almost 200 years lol. Anyway, as a local, I can say that Brazilians are not that united, we do get together occasionally but only when the topic is sports or tv shows. When some groups come together to "fight for a better country", they're just putting their politicians on a pedestal thinking that the country will magically improve.
    In general, Brazilian people are really divided like the American society, and just like them, our nation is filled with ignorants.

    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!

      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.
