What happens
While there were no formal treaties preventing the expansion of the Brazilian, Chilean or Argentinean navies, there has been an informal arrangement since the Great War that has prevented any major expansions. However, with the announcement by their government that they intend to expand their naval capabilities with more capital ships, it seems a new arms race in South America is inevitable. What this means for the wider geopolitical situation remains to be seen, but it can be assumed that the leaders of the great powers will also be watching the situation carefully.
