And before anyone asks... No. Brazil and Argentina's economies were too reliant on British finance to get involved, even if they evinced the remotest interest in Venezuela.Totally off topic but if anyone's interest has been piqued in terms of warfare in South America in this time frame try having a look at the Canudos War in Bahia.
