context_page_description: A naval arms race among Argentina, Brazil and Chile—the most powerful and wealthy countries in South America—began in the early twentieth century when the Brazilian government ordered three dreadnoughts, formidable battleships whose capabilities far outstripped older vessels in the world's navies.
  By the turn of the twentieth century, the Brazilian Navy was inferior to its Argentine and Chilean rivals in quality and total tonnage. It had added few new warships in the last decade and a half, and the recent Argentine–Chilean naval arms race had filled those navies with modern vessels. To address the naval imbalance, in 1904 the Brazilian legislature voted to allocate new income from coffee and rubber towards addressing the naval imbalance. The proponents of this strategy believed that a strong navy would play an essential part in making the country into an international power.
  This naval outlay was originally steered into an order for three small warships, but the arrival of the revolutionary British warship HMS Dreadnought in 1906 quickly scrapped these plans.
