Brazil's participation in World War 1 was established on the basis of a series of episodes involving Brazilian vessels in Europe. In April 1917, German forces struck the ship Parana near the English Channel. Six months later, another Brazilian vessel, the battleship Macau, was attacked by Germans. Outraged, popular demanded a forceful response from the Brazilian authorities.
At the time the president signed Wenceslas Bras alliance with the countries of the Triple Entente (United States, Britain and France), as opposed to the group of the Triple Alliance, formed by the Austro-Hungarian, German and Turkish-Ottoman Empire. Apart from a significant military technology, we can consider the Brazilian participation in World War very shy. Among other actions, the government of Brazil has sent some airline pilots, offering medical support and military vessels
