Wars involving Brazil

World War II, or the Second World War, was a global conflict between two coalitions: the Allies and the Axis powers. Nearly all of the world's countries participated. Tanks and aircraft played major roles, the latter enabling the strategic bombing of cities and delivery of the only nuclear weapons used in war. World War II was the deadliest conflict in history, causing the death of 60 to 75 million people. Millions died as a result of massacres, starvation, disease, and genocides, including the Holocaust. After the Allied victory, Germany, Austria, Japan, and Korea were occupied, and German and Japanese leaders were tried for war crimes.

World War I, or the First World War, also known as the Great War, was a global conflict between two coalitions: the Allies and the Central Powers.

One of the deadliest conflicts in history, it resulted in an estimated 15 to 22 million military and civilian casualties and genocide.

The Sabinada (1837–1838) was a revolt by military officer Francisco Sabino that occurred in Brazil's Bahia province between 6 November 1837 and 16 March 1838. The rebels proposed the existence of a Bahian Republic of a transitory nature until Emperor Dom Pedro II reached the age of majority. Calling for the abolition of slavery and the redistribution of land, they fought against the government for one year until their capital of Salvador was conquered.
