Until the beginning of the 20th century, when Joaquim Nabuco (1849-1910) reflected on Brazil's relations with the rest of the world he thought primarily about Europe. During the last decade of his life he became a defender of closer relations with the United States and an admirer of North American civilization. His view of Latin America/Spanish America remained generally negative. The article explores the changes in Brazil's foreign relations from Empire to First Republic and Nabuco's thinking on Brazil between Europe, Latin America and the United States.
