Sumario:This article aims to highlight some of the effects raised by the First World War in the economy of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) capital. Since the first moment, the conflagration caused several effects on the Brazilian economy. As a result of the blockade oceanmade by Great Britain against Germany, changes in the Trade balance and in the collection occurred. In the case of RS state, they were very clear. There were also direct impacts and they were specifically related to German’s ethnic group; these less well known. Porto Alegre was, at the time, the main industrial center of the state and, for this, the presence of German immigration origin was important, as well as among capitalists and the city workers. When blacklists were implemented as a war weapon from 1915 on, ethnic German people became internally target of further distrust. These are the facts that we want to highlight here.
