Abstract

The European instability of the early nineteenth century, allowed the configuration of the new Latin American nations, but was involved in that process considerably the British Empire, which enjoyed a global political and economic strength. Brazil, in the progress towards modernity and the intention to consolidate its national identity, allows for a close relationship with the British in their political processes and funding of capital resources, which managed the structuring a Brazil of continental dimensions. The closeness British-Brazilian relationship could be mentioned as a Brazilian dependency relationship or British strategic relationship, but the structure is actually an evolution of economic diplomacy.
