Abstract:
In this article we examine imperialism in South
America through the examples of the incursions
of Great Britain and Brazil into Argentina and
Bolivia, respectively, with the consent of the
United States. In both cases, the issue of oil
exploitation is a motivation. In the first, the
conflict is reignited almost thirty years after
the war between the two countries and, in the
second, the tensions have their roots in the 19th
century, developing over time with the presence
of Petrobrás in the neighboring country.
