摘要：Between the mid 1930´s and the end of the 1940´s the Brazilian negotiations
within North-American military were shaped by the pragmatism. For Brazilian
military this asymmetrical association was a way to obtain modern war equipment
in short time and to reach facilities for a national industrialization which, in
long time, would be able to supply the Armed Forces. This agenda still informed
the Brazilian military on the beginning of the Cold War and defined the
convenience or not of the cooperation with USA.
