O pragmatismo brasileiro na cooperação militar com os Estados Unidos, nas décadas de 1930 e 40

Abstract

Between the mid 1930's and the end of the 1940's the Brazilian negotiations within North-American military were shaped by the pragmatism. For Brazilian military this asymmetrical association was a way to obtain modern war equipment in short time and to reach facilities for a national industrialization which, in long time, would be able to supply the Armed Forces. This agenda still informed the Brazilian military on the beginning of the Cold War and defined the convenience or not of the cooperation with USA.
