Abstract

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