      He just used this as an excuse to have acess to the Atlantic Sea. While the whole country was more like a big slum, the industrial center of Assunción was the greatest of South America, and since noone was an ally of Solano López, because D. Pedro II eliminated all the dictadorships (the Blancos) in the Plate Region, and his only reliable trade partner was the UK, he had two options:
      *Pay to have an access to the Plate River; or
      *Declare war on the Greatest power of Latin America, with the 2nd biggest Navy in the world and most populated than all the other countries of South America togheter, since noone was living in Mato Grosso at the time, and his army was superior to the Brazilian one.
      He choosed the second one, and got destroyed by Brazil (Argentina almost didn't helped because it was a mess and Uruguay just send 3000 men to the battlefield)

    Some FACTS about this war:
    1. Most deaths were caused by disease (cholera, yellow fever etc.) and famine, you see, soldiers do not work the fields.
    2. Practically the entirety of the Paraguayan navy was defeated in the Battle of Riachuelo by a detachment of the Brazilian navy and thus Paraguay lost all its access to the external world in 1865 at the beginning of war.
    3. Paraguay used outdated guns and cannons. While the Brazilians were using rifled Minié repeating guns and breech loading rifles to a lesser extent.
    4. Brazil could build ironclads and monitors, several were built in Rio de Janeiro and sent to the war theater. The paraguayans managed to sink one using a contact mine but for the most part their artillery was very ineffective against the monitors armour.
    5. After the battle of Tuyutí a peace offer was made to Paraguay, under the condition that Paraguayan president resigned his office, but he refused.
    6. Paraguayans had contracted British and French engineers to assist them in building a complex system of strongholds and defenses, which halted the Allied advance but were eventually captured (Humaitá etc.) that's why the Frontlines don't change that much throughout the conflict.
    7. The war did not end with the capture of the Paraguayan capital Asunción, although the commander in chief of the allied forces, the Duke of Caxias, already weary of the war, deemed it finished with the fall of Asunción and asked to be replaced. The war continued until the Battle of Cerro Corá in 1870 when the Paraguayan president was killed in battle by a Brazilian corporal who's nickname was "Frank the Devil".
    8. A provisional government was installed in Paraguay by Brazil and the country was military occupied for 6 years until 1876.
    9. Many Paraguayan officers had done their military studies in Brazil before the war.

      Paraguay's move was even crazier. Germany nazis were perhaps the most prepared army at that time (along with the US), the Soviet Union soldier casualty loss was two or three times the German's one. The extreme winter and some bad decisions lead to German loss on Easter front. Some analysis show that even if Germany won on that side, they would eventually lost the war anyway, but they were preparing this war for years, they were the most technolgically advanced nation in the world and they were extremely organized.
      On the other side, UK PM Chamberlain was about to surrender to Germany. They were perhaps lucky to have a mastermind as Churchill who made the British miraculously resist German attacks almost alone for a long period.
      I think attacking the Soviets as they did was a mistake, but not a crazy move. The fatal mistake was declaring the war on US (IDK what would happen if they didn't), when they needed more men on the Eastern side...

      Nabium they dont declare war on Argentina. The war started with only Brazil and Uruguay, because Paraguay was a super power in South America in those times and wanted to extend its territory. Paraguay wanted to invade Uruguay so they can invade Brazil from the south (in those moments Paraguay was winning the war), so they ask Argentina if they can send their troops through their territory, (because Uruguay was doing that also) and they say no. But the paraguayan troops did it anyway, so Argentina declared the war against Paraguay, and with 2 super powers of south america against them, they lost the war and million of habitants. It was a total masacre.

      It wasn't exactly to protects Uruguay's Sovereignty, it was more to guarantee their own interests. As you can see, Paraguay didn't have access to the ocean, and it was bad for their economy, the only access they had to the Atlantic was by a river called Parana, but Parana wasn't in Paraguayans hands, it was controlled by Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, most of it was controlled by Uruguay, including the mouth of the river. So Paraguay only had access to the river because the party in control of the Uruguay was Paraguay's ally, but then another party emerged and a civil war started, also because of their own interests, Brazil supported the party that emerged and that was against Paraguay. Then the civil war ended and the party that was against Paraguay won, so they lost access to the river because Brazil and the new Uruguay denied it, that's when the war begun, it was all about Paraguay having access to that damn river. I might be wrong here on a lot of things, but it was just to clarify that Paraguay wasn't a good guy defending Uruguay.

      @gustavosanchez4538 2 года назад +1

      @Ectria Yes, many Brazilian citizens say that, that the abuses of the Paraguayan troops in Mato Grosso justify the subsequent massacres of the civilian population of Paraguay. But it is curious that they never mention specific places and names of those responsible for such abuses, because if they were abuses they would have to be massive to justify such revenge. Not for a second do they think that the war propaganda could exaggerate the events to justify the actions of the Government, but even if these abuses had occurred, does this justify the subsequent massacres? The civilian population was not aware, much less was it responsible for the actions of the troops in Mato Grosso. But anyway, if you believe that those alleged massive abuses that occurred in places not mentioned by nameless people justify the abuses of the imperial troops, then valid those abuses, if you validate them and your compatriots mostly think like you, then They will commit those acts again, because surely their propaganda will find some wrong to settle.

      Invadió Argentina porque la idea era llegar a Uruguay y garantizar el libre acceso al mar para Paraguay, la invasión de la región de Mato Grosso de Brasil no era una prioridad y solo se podía acceder a la región a través del Río de la Plata. La idea era que Argentina permitiera que Paraguay luchara contra Brasil en su territorio, confiando en la rivalidad entre Brasil y Argentina y porque los territorios de Corrientes y Entre Ríos estaban muy poco desarrollados y poblados en ese momento.

    Great work as usual EmperorTigerstar! In my opinion most of it seems to be accurate, but there are a few things that are slightly different from what I've studied. For example, Paraguay didn't formally declared war against Brazil, but actually invaded the Mato Grosso province believing that it should anticipate a future aggression. Brazilian military officials only heard of the attack weeks after Paraguay had reached the city of Corumbá, meaning that for the first few months, Brazil had no military reaction. Also, the borders are a little inaccurate. Some of the territory shown as being part of Paraguay were actually disputed areas between other countries, so they didn't actually had full control over it. For example, the areas between the Apa and Branco rivers were disputed with Brazil and the Corrientes province and the Bermejo river were disputed with Argentina. Anyway, the rest is pretty much correct, in my opinion of course.

      It was all because of Paraguay's leader. A man called Francisco Solano Lopez. He travelled to Europe and fascinated by the prussian army, decided to reassemble the paraguayan army to fit the prussian standard. He was always looking for an opportunity to start war confident of his new army and the uruguayan civil war gave him the perfect excuse to begin. Later on he asked for Argentinian government to allow him to move his troops through the territory but at the time Argentina was a weakened confederacy and they didn't want to take the risk of going to war against Brazil so they denied it and then Solano Lopez invaded Argentina dragging it into the conflict. He didn't surrendered until the last moment and pretty much all of Paraguay perished to his stubbornness.
