At this date, the Germanic camp (in red) has mobilized 34,500,000 soldiers, of which 29,800,000 are on the fronts and 4,700,000 are in reserves (including 2,500,000 Japanese who have no intention of moving). The losses are approximately 3,000,000.

The Brazilian camp (in green) has mobilized 46,700,000 soldiers, of which 30,100,000 are on the fronts and 16,600,000 are in reserves. The losses are approximately 4,000,000.

The Brazilian camp therefore has considerable reserves which give it a definite advantage.

On the seas, the Brazilian camp is less present but solidly retains the most strategic ones like the South Atlantic which allows to supply Africa.

In the North Atlantic the Germanics dominate but the Brazilian submarines cause significant losses to the Anglo-Saxons who must supply Europe from North America.

In the Indian Ocean the two camps clash fiercely. One to break the African/Brazilian India axis and the other the Indochina/Anglo-Saxon Red Sea axis.

Since 1914, there has been no major naval battle.Both sides focus mainly on cargo ships with submarines to break the logistics.

But the construction of battleships continues and at the beginning of 1916 the Anglo-Saxons have 374 units against 310 for the Brazilian-Argentines.

However, it is Argentina that has increased its industrial and naval capacity the most, planning the launch of 35 large ships in 1916 against 20 in 1915 (60 against 50 for the USA over the same period).
