Cape Verde and Brasil during the Great War

Abstract

The Great War definitely marked the beginning of world global conflicts, reaching all continents in one or another form. It changed economic relations, altered the world geostrategy and led to profound political changes. Brazil was not immune to all this civilizational chaos and ended up intervening beside the Entente against a Germany that had inflicted human, moral and material damage on it. In this context, the Brazilian commercial and military naval effort ended up crossing the territorial waters of Portugal twice. The article aims to address this relationship and deal whit the transversality of the war effort.
