Brazil was still backwater and pre-industrial at the time and relied on industrial and technological products from the North Atlantic, but the British wanted a strong ally in South America as a counter to French-backed Argentina. With the aid of British loans, ideas, and advisors, Brazil turned itself around during the 1890s and early 1900s, with new factories and ports popping up in coastal cities. Modernized agriculture was introduced, and recently built railroads and telegrams connected the interior of the large nation to the coast. The Army itself modernized itself, featuring new British rifles and cannons. However, the industrial capabilities of Brazil would still be behind Argentina when World War I broke out.
