    Not disagreeing with you any bit, but I want to clarify that by “Brazil being imperialistic” I meant how we expanded our territory during the 1800s and our “most recent war” at Paraguay around late 1800

    (btw, I had to search the date and found that our last “recent” territorial war was probably the Acre war (1899), a few years after Paraguay war – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Brazil )

    I don’t disagree with you that we were and are exploited, but we surely expanded our territory by a lot of land-grabbing in those wars (even tho I recognize these were old times).

    In that specific sense that I meant we once were imperialistic (Sem falar que Dom Pedro era imperador né?! hahahaha!)
