The Ragamuffin War was one of the larger civil wars here in Brazil, it was ended under the leadership of the Duke of Caxias, nicknamed Iron Duke and The Peacemaker (like the .40 magnum lol).

[@FabioGCR]

Hello, I'm from Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil, and your historical introduction was very good, in fact the war was called "farroupilha revolution", something like the rags war, because the army wore very damaged clothes.

[@xikonorris5874]

A ragamuffin is someone dressed in rags, the English name for the war is pretty accurate. But it wasn't because they were dressed in rags, that is a popular misconception. The name came from how liberals from the south were referenced way before the war.

[@maucleo_307]

I really like the historical background of the nations or characters, it really adds to the video. Please do more of them!!!

[@Syrnix]

Brazil was my first blind playthrough. Took me 8 reloads to start understanding the game and make a viable strat. Tons of resources and potential, but damn is it hard.

[@gabrielarba8173]

It's because of Brazil's history, it's really crazy the first emperor kinda proclaimed independence from himself (he was the heir to the portuguese throne) he argued and had problems with the brazilian national elites also Brazil had so when he abdicated after governing for almost a decade his son and heir Pedro the second not even a teenager was the new head of state and because of so a provisional regency was established and oh boy this is the moment shit hit the fan literally caos

"everybody is a part of the government except the industrialists" yep that sounds like Brazilian politics alright haha

[@celionovais6273]

Yep, just remember what happened with Visconde de Mauá, for example.

Rule #1 as Brazil, Do Not Make Pedro a General! If he gets the Bandit trait, it will completely wreck your game! I didn't realize when it happened and I had to restart my game. Brazil was my favorite in Victoria II, and is still my favorite in Vic 3. Great video Brolovsky.

[@felipesantana2438]

Yayyyy glad to see my country have some love, and I'm happy to see Ludi know a bit of the history! How about doing a Romanian unification episode next time? Partly because I'd love to hear you talk about the history of it and also because it's probably gonna be very tricky with all the GPs around.

Hey Ludi,is there a chance you will do a livestream of how you feel about the game and just chat with fans? I really love it when you go off topic like the story about Garibaldi here and explain cool historical facts,given the fact you're ACTUALLY historically literate makes it much more cool and precious and I for one,would love to ask you different stuff real-time.

[@thitemperly]

Was a blast watching you pronounce Carajás, love from Brasil!

[@efulmer8675]

25:30 You do have to be careful as there is a soft maximum population for any given state so it is possible to get into a situation where you've planned a lot more construction in a state but the population simply does not want to move in, or worse, they really want to move out.

[@saimonista-k3i]

It's not charcoal briquettes, it's "Charque", A kind of beef jerky that was produced heavily in the region. It was a vital commodity at the time before refrigeration. Rio Grande do Sul was being heavily taxed on it, while the rest of the country started buying it from Argentina and elsewhere. RGS was also salty because of their huge participation in most of Brazil's wars as conscripts and the constant border disputes with the Spanish colonies made them super militaristic and ready to fight for any reason. This prompted the landowners, army and iluminist intelectuals to begin a revolt against the Brazilian Monarchy. The point of the revolt was to turn what they could of Brazil into a collection of Republics in a sort of Federation. This is why your War Goal in the game as Piratini is annexing Santa Catarina. It actually also broke up from Brazil and became the "Julian Republic". This revolt lasted for 10 years.

Day two of asking for a Sardinia Piemont playthroug The best thing of Giuseppe Garibaldi is that he conquered all of sicily and all of souther Italy with only 1 thousand men. He then met hallway through Italy and just handed it over to Sardinians to see an united Italy. Dream that would have come true some years later with the "breccia of porta pia" when italian troops conquered Rome from the papal state

That war also had slave battalions who got promised freedom for fighting know as "Lanceiros Negros" translated to Black Lancers, when the war ended the slave owners didnt want this armed ex-slave army so they were betrayed and murdered.

[@rimanpele]

Who fled from Napoleon was Joao VI of Portugal, Pedro I was his son and declared the Independence of Brazil (his heart came here this year, the 200th year of the Brazilian independence, its conserved in formol), this episode is funny because its probably the only time a ruler declared independence from himself (he was also the heir of Portugal, he would inherit Brazil with or without independence). After political struggles in Portugal, Pedro I prefered going to help his motherland while keeping his son, Pedro II, here in Brazil, to rule when he came to age (18, but they made a coup so he could be crowned at 15 to avoid more instability).

[@lonergothonline]

infrastructure only deals with market matters when you decentralize your economic buildings. if you stack everything in one tile, that one tile won't need market access. I'd suggest you try out a one tile minor nation, and ignore 'access to market' issues.

[@herrerasauro7429]

Honestly, Brazil's strat and in fact most underdeveloped "big" countries is to join a Custom Union, preferably the French and join in their upswing in industrialization. Brazil's advantages comes when rubber becomes an important input and I'd argue that out of all South American land, the most desirable for conquest is Venezuela and Bolivia for that sweet sweet oil in the late game, so puppet and Annex early. By joining the Custom Union you'll avoid the worst of shortages, specially in basic inputs as food, coal, iron and wood, then you can improve the standard of living quickly by focusing on the bottlenecks of industries, mainly clothes, furniture and glass. Also, focus on the colonization game in South America early, as the southern tip is amazing and RUSH the "Liberalization" mission and then in the "New Colossus" for the flat extra migration to the whole country. Just be careful to actually build these basic inputs before leaving the custom union. With this strat in the 1870's Brazil was already the biggest GDP and 3rd world power by prestige and have the highest migration attraction the world for almost the whole country. In the 1900's I have double the GDP of second place.

[@jessicalindo7977]

As far as I remember, Pedro II (Bragança) juggled the groups in power really well and ruled for a really, really, really long time, and he was ousted by his daughter Isabel, who was the one to outlaw slavery at 16 years old when he was away, sickly and travelling. He was beloved by the people and, I don't have to say, but he wasn't much for outlawing slavery, after that we decided the best way to go was indentured servitude by way of immigration in the South. But he was progressive other than the slavery question

[@C.Bastien]

As a Frenchman I remember my history lessons where we learn how thousands of soldiers died to ban slavery in Colombia but I never understood why the fighting with Germany had taken place in Brazil and not at the border... But the defense of freedom suffers no questioning.

[@palmitodebananak]

[@rodrigolima1996]

I think the best strat as Brazil is to declare on Bolivia (lots of coal, sulfur and later oil) as soon as you deal with the internal wars, it is easier to fight them before they form Peru-Bolivia. After that you should focus on Peru (lots of gold and some oil from the start) and Chile (lots of gold, coal, sulfur and some oil from the start). After that you can do whatever you want but Venezuela (lots of oil) or Guyana (a LOT of gold) is far worthier than Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay (I usually let those for later because they don't have any important resources and they can colonize the rest of South America for me)

[@katmannsson]

[@lucasithegreat2711]

Fun fact, during the real Ragamuffin War that happened in Brazil from 35 to 45, the rebels against the Empire never got the support of Rio Grande do Sul's Capital, the city of Porto Alegre. So they established their Capital in the city of Piratini, hence the reason the Rebel State they formed was called the Republic of Piratini (or just Piratini) and not the Republic of Rio Grande do Sul, the latter was always a province of the Empire and never joined the Rebel cause. Now the actual fun fact: So because of this gesture of loyalty to the Empire, the Emperor Pedro II gave the City of Porto Alegre the tile of "Loyal and Valorous City of Porto Alegre" in 1841, for remaining loyal to the Brazilian Empire.
