why would anyone think that Brazil was on the track of becoming a first world country, Joao?

>>Trading out Dom "The Bomb" Pedro II for "Shitty South American Junta No. 394"

Harser climate and less effective governence early on - didn't get to snowball like how the us had

Kept slavery few decades longer and had far more niggers and mulattos dragging it down. You have to remember that vast majority of African slaves were hauled to Caribbean and Latin America. Tiny fraction went to North America and that black fraction drags USA down in every way imaginable.
