After World War II, why did Brazil dare to shelter so many Nazi remnants?

It should be noted here that after World War II, Argentina was the most important one, followed by Brazil and Chile.

After World War II, German Nazis mainly fled to Argentina, Chile and Brazil, with nearly 10,000 people. The reason for choosing this place is mainly because of the close trade between South America and Germany during World War II. German immigrants have formed a certain political foundation here, and now there are people who can shelter them here.

We all know that South America is a continent that did not participate in World War II, especially Argentina, Chile and Brazil. They declared war on the Axis countries in name (the war in Europe basically ended at this time), but in fact they did not send any troops to participate in the war. They just want to benefit the fishermen. Before the official start of World War II, the trade between Germany and South American countries increased sharply. Among them, Argentina is Germany's second largest trading partner, and Germany has also invested heavily in South America.

The deepening of trade will inevitably lead to frequent economic and cultural exchanges. During the Second World War, as many as 6,543,800 people immigrated from Germany to South America. The development of these 6,543,800+2,000 people in wartime penetrated into the political, economic, cultural and other fields of these countries, and also had a relatively great impact, even affecting politics. For example, in 1938, the German Nazis held a rally in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At that time, more than 20,000 people attended. It can be seen that the Nazis at that time had a certain political foundation here, and it was safest to escape here.

For these reasons, after the defeat, many countries in South America naturally became the first choice of the German Nazis. But the refuge here did not let them escape the evil of war. In future trials. Still got the punishment he deserved.
