I mean, to be honest, the BR Empire was the largest of the southern hemisphere (in territory, wealth, and military) , and Graham Bell was almost exclusively sponsored by the Brazilian emperor.It isn't important how long an empire lasts, important is what it has achieved and contributed to society during that time.
While the Brasilian Empire has lasted longer than the German Empire, the question is what has the Brazilian Empire contributed to the world?
Also Prussia was already a thing way before the German Empire, while it is true that the German Empire only lasted from 1871 to 1918, Prussia itself existed from 1440 (then as Prussian Confederation, later a Duchy and then a Kingdom) to 1918.
The Old Prussian tribes are even older.
Why American teens have such a boner for Prussia/Germany? I don't know tbh.
Although, it is understandable how the Second Reich contributed more to the world considering Brazil was still relatively underdeveloped when comparing it to Europe.
