Relations
In the Polandball/Countryballs universe, Brasilball (often under the Vargasball era or the United States of Brasilball) has an emblematic and satirical role during World War II:
From Neutrality to the Allies: Initially, Brazil tries to remain neutral while engaging in commercial "flirtations" with both USAball and Nazi Germanyball. However, after the sinking of Brazilian merchant ships by German submarines and pressure from USAball (through diplomacy, economic resources, and the Pan-American strategy), Brazilball declares war on the Axis powers. The Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB) and the Smoking Snake: In Countryballs comics, the historical meme "a cobra vai fumar" ("the snake is going to smoke") is central. There was a popular saying that "it was easier for a snake to smoke a pipe than for Brazil to enter the war," so Brazilball adopts a patch of a snake smoking a cigar, demonstrating against all odds its active participation.
Italian Campaign: Brazilball travels to Europe to join the USAball and Allied forces on the Italian front, participating in key battles (such as the capture of Monte Castello) sporting his iconic smoking snake. Personality Dynamics: He is frequently portrayed trying to maintain his cheerful and festive tone ("Huehuehue") even amidst the harshness of the conflict, contrasting with the seriousness of the European and North American countries.
Brazil in World War II
Brazil played a key strategic and combat role for the Allies, being the only Latin American nation to send combat troops to Europe during World War II.
The country went from an initial position of pragmatic neutrality to total military commitment after its merchant ships were sunk by Axis submarines in 1942.
Strategic and Logistical Bases: Brazil ceded to the U.S. the use of air and naval bases on its northeast coast (notably Natal, known as the "Victory Springboard"). This secured the supply route to North Africa and facilitated victory in the Battle of the Atlantic. Contribution of Raw Materials: It supplied key resources to the Allied military industry, including rubber, rare minerals, and agricultural products.
Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB): Deployed more than 25,000 soldiers in the Italian campaign (1944-1945), distinguishing itself in decisive battles against German forces such as the Capture of Monte Castello. Maritime and Air Patrol: The Brazilian air force and navy escorted convoys in the South Atlantic and destroyed several Axis submarines.

This video chronologically details Brazil's transition from neutrality to the deployment of the Brazilian Armed Forces (FEB) on the European front.
Personality
During World War II, Brazilball's personality is portrayed as a disheveled and unexpectedly effective character, characterized by a mixture of tropical nonchalance, surprising determination, and the famous figure of the "Smoking Cobra".
*The origin of the "Smoking Cobra": Due to widespread skepticism about Brazil sending troops to Europe (there was a popular saying, "it's easier for a cobra to smoke than for Brazil to go to war"), it is depicted with a smoking pipe or a snake. When the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB) was finally deployed to Italy in 1944, it adopts a "the cobra smoked" attitude (duty fulfilled).
