The article In the Trenches of the Intellectual Front. Henrique da Rocha Lima and the First World War in the Jornal do Commercio discusses texts published by the Brazilian researcher Henrique da Rocha Lima in the Jornal do Commercio during the first year of the “Great War”.
Rocha Lima’s engagement was in the opposite trends of the Brazilian scholars and scientific world, for the most part friendly to the Allied cause, what also represents his public profile that would become the hallmark of his career.
The Brazilian researcher, Rocha Lima combated the idea that Germany was causing the war, and denied what he saw as calumny and lies spread by the allies, as news about the atrocities committed by the Germans in enemy territory.
In this work, André Felipe Cândido da Silva, one of the editors of HCS-Manguinhos, also analises the Brazilian trend during the First War to support the allied propaganda, which was favored by the francophile of our elites.
