Brazil, as well as other latin-american countries, declared war on the axis. In my game I have Brazil entering the war with the allies on September 22nd, 1942

edit: As I recall, most of them declared war on the Axis after being pissed off one to many times with the U-boats sinking their merchant ships (specially oil tankers).

Doesn't matter I consider a ship a ligit target if it sailing under armed escort with the country your at war with if it's a neutral why the escort.

Yes, I believe 42 was the year Brazil go pissed because the boats where sinking the Brazilian tankers off Cape Hatteras. Operation Drum Beat. One Captian of a tanker painted down the side of his boat in three spots, both sides, BRAZIL. Also had Brazilian flags all over it. No matter, the uboat sent it to the bottom.

Oops....sorry about that
