Brazil was the first South American nation to go to war against the Axis partners and the only South American country to go to war on th.- Allied side in World War I. Formal declaration of war was prompted by attacks on 17 Brazilian ships since January, and the more recent sinking of six ships off their coast by Axis submarines. Picture shows a Brazilian anti-aircraft gun crew standing at alert as a result of their nation declaring war.
