After the Great War, the Portuguese Empire reached a second peak after receiving from France the colony of Sainte-Lucie and having a joint mandate of Niger.

Due to the 1922 Compromise which established Brasil as a united kingdom under the Lusitanian crown, Brasil was obligated to participate in the colonial wars fought in Portuguese Africa.
