When the Second Great Depression brought down the Western World, and their foreign aid programs, everyone expected South America to fall entirely under the influence of China and/or Russia. Brazil joined them in creating the old BRICS money system fighting the American dollar of the time for global supremacy after all. The final collapse of the American dollar should have set the stage for a new economic hegemony, but China and Russia focused on their dreams of empire in their own neighbors. That left Brazil and the other South American nations to fend for themselves. And since most of their economies were based on either getting aid from foreign nations or selling things to foreign nations, that did not go well for them for a time. South America fell hard.
