To: Empire of Brazil
From: Empire of Spain
1) We were at a war. We were attempting to get you out of it as fast as possible. Maybe our methods were not very civil, but it was war.
2) The coward's route would have been to pay you after the incident sparked by the United Kingdom's attack on our fleet, and where the Brazilian ships got involved by pure chance. We still cannot believe you still pin the blame on us for such an incident.
3) We do not defend tyranny. We just maintain diplomatic relations with the United States. We hope that they will change at some point.
4) We still do not understand why you are still harping on a point that we have clearly stated several times is completely false.
5) Brazil seems to be blowing this situation completely out of proportion, considering that it started because Spain wanted to establish a group of cultural, apolitical organizations.
6) We would like to know who has misinformed you so much. Either way, we wish to correct this clearly incorrect information: it was in fact Emperor Carlos VI, and his son Felipe IX, who fought for the reforming of the Empire of Spain into what is currently now: one of the two greatest democracies in the world, next to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, whom we hold in great esteem as a worthy opponent to the Empire of Spain. The civil war that happened shortly after the death of Emperor Carlos VI was instigated by the reactionaries who desired to keep the old order, and Emperor Felipe IX fought and led so that Spain advanced along the path Carlos VI had drawn and designed with the help of his advisors. And, once more, the reactionaries fought to prevent Spain's advance when the Spanish Constitution was established, and once more the Emperor and Empire fought against them, so that constitutionalism and democracy prevailed. In fact, nowadays all of the Empire has representation in the Imperial Parliament. All regions of the Empire have autonomy over many matters that only concern them. All political positions of importance are chosen by the people. Please, make your research before saying anything.
7) We have indeed let them go. Panamá, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, we let them go more than a century ago. New Spain left more than sixty years ago, and we let them go. We were bitter about the Mayans wanting to leave, but we still let them go. So, please, do not say something that is clearly untrue.
8) The former colonies may be great, we are not putting it in doubt. But, please, look well at things before casting such a dubious affirmation.
9) If the Brazilian policemen's attitude towards proof is equal to that of the Brazilian government... God save the Brazilian people.
TO: Empire of Spain
FROM: Empire of Brazil
1. We were at war because the Spanish betrayed a decades long alliance with the Brazilian government in order to defend their own conquest of a sovereign nation in the Americas by allying with a dictator who had just succeeded in a coup against the rightful government of the United States.
2. The cowards route was standing in the way of saving democracy.
3. A
defensive alliance with a tyrant is also known as defending tyranny.
4. Spanish truths, as stated above, mean nothing. Spain decides actions not on what is right or wrong, but on what makes Spain better. If that means killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people in order to defend an illegal conquest, well then, Spain is just doing what
it thinks is right.
5. Spain coming into the South American cultural life, which is now long changed from that of the Spanish colonies they once were by masses of immigrants and that little thing called democracy, is fully imperialistic. Brazil stands by the people of South America. Spanish culture is for Spain. We celebrate the individual here, the Paraguyans, Uruguayans, Argentinians, Peruvians, Chileans, etc. That Spain believes it is still relevant to these nations and cultures is a sign of how out of touch the Spanish government truly is.
6. Your monarchs only gave up their power to the people out of fear of losing everything. Pedro I, the Liberator, willingly gave up his power to the people because he knew it was the right thing to do. He was not forced by rising tides of revolution, no, on the contrary he did it because he believed in it. The Imperial family to this day aids in the efforts of bringing about rights to all human beings. Her Imperial Majesty, Isabel I, is an active proponent of women's rights. What has your emperor done? Was it not your emperors that destroyed nationalism in Italy? Was it not your emperors that destroyed the United States of America? Was it not
your emperors that fought a bloody resistance to losing New Spain and then, because your empire wasn't large enough already, invaded the free Aztecs? Was it not
your emperors that betrayed Brazil to the tyrant Alfred Scott and waged a war across the world in defiance of the liberties of the people?
7. You let them go because you lost them to free thinkers and revolutionaries that opposed your regime. You did not willingly do so. Spain allied with the false United States of America to protect the last remaining colonies in the New World. Only a tyrant would help another keep down independence movements.
8. The former colonies are greater than the father country, this much is true and they are all better off without Spanish influence in their governments. Spain cannot be trusted and history is not easily erased from the minds of the people.
9. To say you know anything of the Brazilian policeman is an insult to their duty to the people. Spain has no right to call the police of the worlds leading democracy anything other than just and civil men. It is not Brazilians that have to worry about corruption, but the Spanish.
