In an effort against the spread of European fascisms in Latin America, the United States started a mission to secure Brazilian loyalty. For Brazil, to break relations with the Axis, was a difficult choice. Given that it had a well-established trade relation with Germany and a numerous German, Italian, and Japanese immigrant populations. Brazil saw U.S. interest as an opportunity to gain much needed profitable economic agreements that would advance the development of the country into a regional and international power. In this mutually beneficial agreement propaganda played an important role; it crystalized the partnership. Two examples have been chosen to analyze how the campaign reflected wartime representations of Brazil for a U.S. audience: the Brazilian Pavilion for the 1939 New York World's Fair, and the wartime films of Carmen Miranda.; Thesis (M.A.)--Tufts University, 2018.; Submitted to the Dept. of History.; Advisor: Peter Winn.; Committee: David Ekbladh, and Consuelo Cruz.; Keywords: Latin American history, Latin American studies, and International relations. %[ 2022-10-13 %9 Text %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
