Anonymousso brave and corageous have virtually the same meaning, don't they?
Yes. I would also add that 'bold' can be used in a somewhat negative way. "He was bold enough to stand up in front of everyone and tell lies about me!" The meaning here is that he 'had the nerve', 'was daring enough'.

Bravery islike going into war without fear or regard for your life whereas courage is is going into battle ragrdless of intense fear that you may have. my opinion, being courageous is a better ttitle than being brave.
