Naval Diplomacy and the Making of an Unwritten Alliance: United States-Brazilian Naval Relations, 1893-1930 Karina Faria Garcia Esposito Dissertation submitted to the College of Arts and Sciences at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History James Siekmeier, Ph.D., Chair Melissa Bingmann, Ph.D. Joel Christenson, Ph.D. Elizabeth Fones-Wolf, Ph.D. Jason Phillips, Ph.D. Department of History Morgantown, West Virginia University 2017 Keywords: Brazil, Navy Revolt 1893-94, Navy Mission, Navy Commission, WWI, U.S. Navy Diplomacy Copyright 2017, Karina Faria Garcia Esposito Abstract Naval Diplomacy and the Making of an Unwritten Alliance: United States-Brazilian Naval Relations, 1893-1930 Karina Faria Garcia Esposito This dissertation explores U.S.-Brazilian relations through the prism of naval diplomacy between 1893 and 1930. Broadly, this dissertation explains the growth of U.S. naval involvement in Brazil, emphasizing the motives of Brazilian and American policymakers, and the role of naval officers in strengthening bilateral relations. This study begins by examining the Brazilian Navy Revolt of 1893-94, contextualizing it within the formative years of the Brazilian Republic, while discussing U.S. naval intervention in the conflict. It then explores U.S.-Brazilian naval relations in the early twentieth century, explaining the growing association between the two countries’ navies after the turn of the century. That collaboration culminated in cooperation during World War I, and with the establishment of an American Navy Commission to teach at the Brazilian Naval War College. Finally, this dissertation explores the dynamics of the U.S. Navy Mission in Brazil during the first formative years after its establishment in 1922. Introducing naval diplomacy to the historiography of U.S.-South American relations illuminates the origins of American influence in Brazil, including the crucial role of Brazilians in pursuing closer ties, as well as the development of a U.S. policy focused on reducing European influence, promoting regional security, and increasing U.S. commercial power in the region. Acknowledgments Writing a dissertation requires an enormous amount of discipline, but most importantly, it requires support from academic advisors, friends, and family. I started my doctoral journey in 2011, and looking back to all the challenges and accomplishments, I could not have endured six years of writing, teaching, researching, without the help of some amazing people I met along the way. I would like to thank Dr. James Siekmeier, the Chair of my Dissertation Committee. Dr. Siekmeier offered insightful comments on my writing throughout the entire process, while constantly sending me reading suggestions, and encouraging messages. I am very grateful to have had such a wonderful advisor. I would also like to thank Dr. Melissa Bingmann for her encouragement and involvement in my Public History field. Dr. Bingmann always kept us posted on conferences, job announcements, and useful workshops, which enhanced my experience and knowledge of the field. Dr. Elizabeth Fones-Wolf was consistently supportive for eleven years, and I want to express my gratitude to her as well. I met Dr. Fones-Wolf when I was starting my history journey, as a prospective Masters student. My undergraduate degree was in Biology, and Dr. Fones-Wolf’s supervision was critical in guiding my transition to history. Her History 153 course was also among the best courses I took at WVU, and I will be forever grateful for her patience, as I got accustomed to the demands of a graduate degree in history. Dr. Jason Phillips offered insightful comments and advice, and asked probing questions that were crucial to the completion of my dissertation. Reflecting on his query during the ensuring six years helped me focus on the task at hand, and kept my work grounded when iii the demands of going through hundreds of documents in both English and Portuguese, threatened to become overwhelming. I would also like to thank Dr. Joel Christenson. I met Joel and his wonderful wife Emily at WVU, and their friendship, and Joel’s professional guidance were central to the completion of this project. Joel was always available, and consistently provided subject matter expertise on naval history. I am grateful for his support, and Emily’s friendship. My gratitude also goes to Dr. Joseph Hodge, the Chair of the History Department, Dr. Jack Hammersmith, Dr. Kate Staples, Dr. Ken Fones-Wolf, Dr. Steve Zdatny, Dr. Shannon Frystak, Dr. Brian Luskey and Jenny Boulware. They have always been very encouraging throughout my years at WVU, offering professional support and helping me become a better teacher. I was also fortunate to receive encouragement and financial support from the Navy History and Heritage Command, WVU, and the WVU History Department. I am grateful for their generosity, and would like to express my appreciation for their support to this project. The foundations of historical research are the documents and materials located in archival collections, and I would like to express my gratitude to the archivists at the Navy Archive in Brazil who provided patient guidance in helping me locate the materials used in this study, as well as the archivists at the National Archives I in Washington, D.C., and National Archives II in College Park, Maryland. A special thank you to Mr. Mark Mollan (navy records) at the National Archives I. I would like to recognize and thank Martha May and Becky Warnke, who ensure that the WVU history office operates smoothly every day. Martha and Becky were iv tireless and unfailing in helping with administrative issues related to teaching, course work, travel, and program requirements for all eleven years I was at WVU. I will always fondly remember my graduate life at WVU. My friends Susan and Mark Lusk, Shannon and Bob Tinnell, Joe Rizzo, Richard Hulver, Trevor Wolf, Billy Feeney, Jinny Turman, David Goldberg, Emily Umble, Jen Miller, and Adam Zucconi. Since our move to Miami, we are blessed to have gotten to know Tim Schultz and Isadora Cipolletta. Each one of my friends helped me through this process in their own way, offering professional support, entertainment, and encouragement throughout the years. I am very lucky to have such wonderful friends and amazing scholars in my life. I would like to thank my sister Patricia, and my brothers Anderson and Zach. For many years, they have been a source of strength and encouragement for their little sister. Their own endurance has been an inspiration to me over the years. My brother-in-law Adam’s knowledge of political issues has always made for some great conversations when I visited my family. To my niece, Julia and my nephew Collin. I am such a proud aunt. They offered much-needed distraction and laughs when I visited them in Arizona and Chicago over the years. My brother-in-law, Michael has always been very supportive of my career and caring, and I am very thankful for his friendship over the years. My in-laws, Doug and Deb Esposito have always been so supportive. They never hesitated to tell me how proud they were of me. Their encouragement went a long way when I did not believe I would ever finish my dissertation. My sisters-in-law Shannan and Whitney are wonderful people, who always treated me with love and respect. I am v also thankful for Patricia Brachman, for her cheer and reassurance. I am grateful to be a part of such a beautiful, supportive family. My stepfather Rick offered me support and encouragement over the years. When I moved to the U.S. in 1998, with limited knowledge of English and the demands of College life, Rick was always patient, and drove me to school every day. I will always remember the ice cream runs and the baseball games he took me to, which provided much needed distraction. My deepest gratitude goes to my mom, Dulce Rittner. What my mom has done to support my dreams and education cannot be put into words. She worked and continues to work so hard to provide a bright and successful future to her kids and grandchildren, always so selflessly. I could not have pursued the path of a graduate education if it was not for my mom. Finally, to my brilliant, amazing husband, the best person I know. Josh has been my rock in so many ways. His own dedication to the history profession and discipline has been an inspiration to me. After working long hours, he would always patiently answer my questions about research and writing, and offer unconditional support throughout the entire process.

Bras. Polít. Int. 57 (2): 9-28 [2014] Introduction José Maria da Silva Paranhos Jr., Baron of Rio Branco, epitomizes Brazilian nationalism.1 Despite the impenetrable personality that motivated Nabuco to call him a “Sphinx,” his political and diplomatic legacy, especially with regard to the demarcation of national borders, is revered as of great importance for the construction of the international identity of Brazil. Although much has been written about the character and his legacy, it seems clear the laudatory character of the vast majority of those narratives. Given the author’s dissatisfaction with this state of affairs and out of respect for the memory of Itamaraty’s patron, I intend to address an issue that lies at the heart of a series of distortions about the meaning of Paranhos Jr.’s diplomacy: the role of naval power in the broader context of the grand strategy implemented during Rio Branco’s administration as chancellor.

Speaking out in favor of the precepts of criminal anthropology, they shared the conviction that Bispo’s criminal responsibility should be attenuated in virtue of his suggestible nature.

    CADETS in PORTUGUESE MILITARY ACADEMIES a Sociological Portrait

    CADETS IN PORTUGUESE MILITARY ACADEMIES A sociological portrait Helena Carreiras Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), Centro de Investigação e Estudos de Sociologia (Cies_Iscte), Lisboa, Portugal Fernando Bessa Military University Institute, Centre for Research in Security and Defence (CISD), Lisboa, Portugal Patrícia Ávila Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), Centro de Investigação e Estudos de Sociologia (Cies_Iscte), Lisboa, Portugal Luís Malheiro Military University Institute, Centre for Research in Security and Defence (CISD), Lisboa, Portugal Abstract The aim of this article is to revisit the question of the social origins of the armed forces officer corps, using data drawn from a survey to all cadets following military training at the three Portuguese service academies in 2016. It puts forward the question of whether the sociological characteristics of the future military elite reveal a pattern of convergence with society or depart from it, in terms of geographical origins, gender and social origins. The article offers a sociological portrait of the cadets and compares it with previous studies, identifying trends of change and continuity. The results show that there is a diversified and convergent recruitment pattern: cadets are coming from a greater variety of regions in the country than in the past; there is a still an asymmetric but improving gender balance; self-recruitment patterns are rather stable, and there is a segmented social origin pointing to the dominance of the more qualified and affluent social classes. In the conclusion questions are raised regarding future civil-military convergence patterns as well as possible growing differences between ranks. Keywords: military cadets, officer corps, social origins, civil-military relations.

McCann Professor of History Emeritus in the University of New Hampshire where he has been on the faculty since 1971, [email protected] ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The history of the Brazilian military has been marked by repeated “reforms” and up-dating efforts to keep abreast of developments abroad. Since World War II such efforts were often weakened, delayed, and reduced by involvement in politics, lack of congressional support, and financial instability. The deep-sea oil discoveries were touted as the beginning of a new era of prosperity that would finally allow growth and modernization of the armed forces. The fall in oil prices likely have made that more of a dream than reality, but even so the armed Keywords: forces have been moving ahead. Their schools, academies, and institutes are establishing more open relationships with the republic’s Brazil, Military History, universities. The older army institutions, the Escola Preparatória de Cadetes do Exército and the Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras, have reshaped their programs of study and training. In the process their recruitment pattern has changed in ways that may make the officer Brazilian Army, corps less diverse. The Navy and the Air Force academies seem committed to keeping their programs as they have been. Those services, Modernization, Military by their nature, are more technologically oriented than the army, but the army too is more computerized than a decade ago.

Giving a summary of the transformation of shipbuilding technologies and bureaucratic institutions of the Ottoman naval forces between 1808 and 1861, it analyses the structure of the Ottoman navy, its level of development in comparison to previous periods of time, and the condition of the vessels making up the naval fleet from 1861 to 1876. It also intends to evaluate the character of existing administrative structures at the outset of Abdülaziz’s reign in 1861 and the nature of subsequent changes, including structural reorganization of the Imperial Naval Arsenal, the Ministry of Marine, and the Naval Academy, as well as advancements in military training and seafaring; all within the context of the impact of these changes on the military, political, and economic condition of the Empire during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz.
