    Brazil is famous for coup d'etats backed by the army. Monarchy was abolished in a coup, Vargas get to power in a coup, Vargas was almost taken from power by a coup and ten years later we got a coup (1964) which lasted more than 20 years. Even the "legal" impeachment of our former president Dilma Roussef was backed by the military (some generals spoke about getting her out of power before 2014, and that if the congress didn't act, they would do) Nowadays there are rumours of another coup being projeted in our country by the army, backed by the actual president Jair Bolsonaro. Will it happen? I doubt it, but you never know until its done. So its understandable why Vargas would act that way.

However, a guy in Vargas's guard chimped out and independently shot Lacerda. He survived, and launched a campaign against Vargas (a conspiracy, more of a kind) and rumours of coups started taking place. So, alone in the Catete Palace, he shot himself, showing to the whole country the real nature of Lacerda, basically ruining his chance of grasping the power he so grossly aspired in the subsequent election.

    Hans is right about the equipment. The BEF adopted american equipment in Italy, especially the uniforms, for some reasons: the inadequacy of their own uniforms to italian winter climate and the problems concerning friendly fire. Also, their original equipment (weaponry) was obsolete in the 1940's when compared to american, german, japanese, british and soviet ones.

The saying was famous in Brazil and you can find an iconic photo of soldier Francisco de Paula loading a flak round with the inscription "the snake is smoking" written in portuguese on it. It's analogous to "when pigs fly" in english. To this day, the brazilian expeditionary force sleeve insignia displays a snake smoking a pipe.

After the war, he became a strong alcoholic, because the soldiers didn't have clothes for the harsh cold temperatures of Northern Italy, and of course, had no ideia of what really cold temperatures were like, so they drank a lot to have that warm feeling. Glad he overcame the alcoholism and became a pastor in the church I used to go when I was young. Died in 2010, may he rest in peace in heaven.

    In Brazil, we learn that Vargas was a pragmatist leader. He waited till the last second to join the war, as he wanted to be on the winners side. That said, as an authoritarian dictator allying with democracies to fight dictatorships , he knew that eventually his power would come to an end, and just accepted it. Edit: When I said that he "accepted it", I was only referring to his authoritarian rule. 5 years after being deposed as a dictator, he was democratically elected president, and upon realizing he would be deposed again due to yet another political crisis, he committed suicide.

    Germany really had no choice but to invade the Soviet Union. War between Fascism and Communism was inevitable and both sides saw this. The Soviets had not fully industrialized were developing their industry. They had just purged the overwhelming majority of their military officers. At the point that Hitler invaded the Soviet Union was as weak as it was ever going to ever going to be, at least in the next few decades. If Hitler had to fight the Soviets and to be clear he did have to fight them, then right then and there was the absolute best opportunity for victory he would ever have.

    Japan kinda had no choice either. Yamamoto himself knew that they have a deadline of only a few years to defeat/demoralize the USA before they lose all their chance. The US oil embargo on Japan is the heaviest burden they've had and their conquest for China will not move forward if they don't have that oil. So they went on to invade the Dutch East Indies and get the oil there themselves; and their target is uncomfortably close to the Philippines, a US territory at the time. Invading the Dutch colonies without attacking the US would probably push the US to go to war anyway. They either had to attack an unprepared US, or don't attack and risk going to war with a well-prepared US later. It is clearly a bad idea, but it's the best bad idea they had.

    As a Japanese Brazilian, I would also like to say that Vargas was also responsible for prohibiting people that migrated from (or were descendants from) the axis countries from speaking their native (or parent's) country's language (which were Japanese, German and Italian), and it was briefly enforced even after the war, up to the 1950s, it's one of the reasons as to why many people that are of Italian, German or Japanese descent in Brazil speak basically nothing of the language that their grandparents spoke.

    I have an idea for a video, "How humiliating was The Century of Humiliation?" I wanna know how different the downfall of Qing and Warlord Era were compared to other dynasties' downfall. Is it actually so different that it warrants the title of complete humiliation or is it the classic Mandate of Heaven under different masks?

    Given what I've seen, I think the only thing that made a difference was the length of time The fall of the Ming dynasty to the Qing was much bloodier and was even a native Chinese regime being ousted by a foreign one rather than a foreign one being fucked over by other foreign ones followed by a native popular uprising. The Manchurian conquest of China (And also the Mongol conquests of China) were much quicker than the decades of deliberate fucking over that the west collectively did.

    I think it's quite simple. The fall of dynasties before were either an internal affair of a new heroic people taking over the now corrupt Royalty that had loss their heavenly mandate, a reunification of a broken China from a previous weak dynasty or an external force conquering and quickly turning chinese themselves. The century of Humiliation saw external powers bossing China around just to take advantage of it, rather than conquer it for themselves as it was the custom + A gigantic loss of China's historical sphere of influence in places like Mongolia, Indochina, Korea and Japan to those same foreign powers

    The fact that we call it the Warlord Era says a lot in of itself. It took China a long time to reunite after the Qing dynasty fell, between attempts at new governments and a lack of power and legitimacy in the remnant of the dynasty. Even though the Nationalists did the Northern Expedition and gained some authority by retaking Bejing...they still had their capital at Nanjing. Culturally there was an attempt to disconnect from the old Imperial culture and system, to westernize and modernize (somewhat). It's a dense read but I recommend looking at The Search for Modern China by Johnathan D. Spense. It goes into a lot of detail on that particular era, as well as the leadup to it during the Qing.
