EDITORS COMMENTS
In the hallowed halls of the Brazilian Senate, December 1917: A pivotal moment in Brazilian history unfolds as Senator Ruy Barbosa addresses his fellow legislators. The unanimous vote for war with Germany hangs in the balance, following the sinking of several Brazilian merchant ships by German submarines. The Brazilian president had recently requested authorization from Congress to declare war, which was granted on October 26th. The scene in the Senate is one of solemnity and determination, as the senators deliberate the fate of their nation and its people. With the First World War raging in Europe, Brazil, a neutral country, found itself increasingly embroiled in the conflict. The sinking of its ships by German forces was the final straw, and the decision to go to war was not taken lightly. Senator Ruy Barbosa, a respected statesman and orator, passionately advocated for the need to defend Brazilian sovereignty and protect its citizens. The outcome of this historic vote would mark a turning point in Brazil's involvement in the war and its place in the global community. This poignant moment in Brazilian history stands as a testament to the courage and resilience of its people and their commitment to protecting their nation's interests.
