===Brazil=== {{main|Marshal (Brazil)}} [[File:Luís Alves de Lima e Silva.jpg|right|thumb|Marshal [[Luís Alves de Lima e Silva, Duke of Caxias|Duke of Caxias]]]] When Brazil became independent from Portugal in 1822, the Portuguese system of ranks was maintained by the [[Brazilian Army]], including the rank of ''marechal de campo''. In the second half of the 19th century, the rank of ''marechal de campo'' was replaced, both in Portugal and Brazil, by the rank of ''general de brigada'' (brigade general). This last rank still exists today in the Brazilian Army, but corresponds to the present rank of ''major-general'' (major-general) in the Portuguese Army. Today, the rank of ''Marechal'' is the maximum rank available but only awarded during wartime. The [[Brazilian Air Force]] has the similar rank of [[air marshal]].
