This shall be a great era for South America while Europe is in the mess, caused by the war. I feel bad for Mexico as well, as they're going to become a new colony for those British and French in Europe. We'll never give our sovereignty and independence to any foreign power, as they already have tons of colonies in the Americas. I agree with Argentina's statement about the Republic of Paraguay and our Southern neighbour, the Republic of Uruguay. They both are authoritarian regimes and they want to hurt the rest of the nations within South America. The reason why that Uruguay is around is because, they rebelled against us! That's why that I'm going to say that if the Republic of Uruguay and the Republic of Paraguay tries to join the the council of Independent South American States, they will be vetoed by the Empire of Brazil. We'll also seek to enforce- through diplomatic means- Brazilian sovereign territorial integrity with respect to the Republic of Uruguay. [i]~ Emperor Pedro II, King of Brazil[/i].
