In a amazing turnaround for the entire situation in South America, Chile, from being on the brink of total collapse, mounted a sucessfull counter-attack, trapping the Argentine forces behind the Andes. With American troops and supplies pouring into the country, it took them three months to overcome the Argentine Army, and in a lightning advance, knock Argentina out of the war in a month.
By mid-August, the Axis had been forced out of Montevideo, and the Uruguyan government-in-exile re-restablished in the capital, while the Allied Armies marched the same roads as the Uruguayan Army had marched in thier attempt to defeat Brazil.
This time, however, there was no resounding counter-attack from Brazil. The combined Russo-Franco-Dutch push in the north, along with the Allied offensive from the south needed more troops than the Brazilian Army had to hand. By late-October, the Allied Army was on the outskirts of Rio de Janerio, which co-incided with a breakthrough from the Baikanor project concering rocketry as a weapon.
By mid-December, the Supreme Soviet announced the construction of two aircraft carriers to supliment the Soviet Navy. The Moskva and the Leningrad were first-rate for the Soviet Navy, but only on par with the mid-war carriers of the West. They are not expected to be complete before 1950.

"...we interupt this program for a special announcement."
"Workers, pesants, soldiers, comrades. For the past few years, our country has been locked in a deadly strugle against those who wish to destory our way of life. Sons of the Soviet Union have laid down their lives for what they belive in and hold dear to them. Now, it is over."
"One hour ago, we recived word that a coup occured in the Brazilian High Command. The High Command overthrew those who were consipring to continue the war, and appealed directly to their oppenents to end the bloodshed. As of midnight tonight the war is over."
"Comrades, I wish you the best of prospects for the new, peace-filled year."
