[quote=Pepperm1nts] Does Brazil even have the authority to ban Mexico from any, let alone conferences?And I agree that Brazil is painting a target on itself by being so unwilling to cooperate with European countries. Condemning an American country for cooperating with European countries is only going to turn everyone against you, not just Europeans. [/quote] I think Brazil just doesn't want more conflict erupting in the Americas because as it stands nobody is really taking any action in the American possessions of European powers. Though now Mexico is going to be escalating the war there which other American nations probably don't really want.
