In some books it is stated that a small group of men, along with women and children were serving the army by finding weapons, food, etc. These people unfortunately tripped into the Brazilian army and fought what we now know as the Batalla de Acosta Ñu.

They didn't start two world wars. The first world war was caused by austria-hungary and the second time the UK and France declared war on germany. Their population was expelled in multiple countries including czechoslavia, hungary, the balkans and other parts of europe. The entirety of prussia was stolen from them by the russians and its population also was kicked out. Germany was forced to pay reparations for both wars. They suffered a lot.
hazzmati Also just so you know, in WW1 it was Germany that declared war in France and Russia and invaded Belgium and France, so yeah it was Germany's fault the war became a world war. Learn some facts please

Just a small correction: the disputed territories at the north of Paraguay were under the control of Brazil at the begining of the war. Other than that excellent work. I think this is the best one Ive seen so far. Also, Ive never read about 50k deaths of brazilian civlians, where did that happen? The invasion of MS and RS were not that deadly.
"the disputed territories at the north of Paraguay were under the control of Brazil at the begining of the war" I know. I wrote who owned the claimed territory's in actuality in the description.
@@Stefano-dd2sf sorry for the late answer... it'll be named "Guerras do Prata", portuguese for Platinean Wars. The first take will be available in at least 5 years or more, because i've got too much work to do with another tasks and it became a secondary goal in my life, but i will not give up on writing this.
The American Civil War (same time period) was the most costly war the US has fought (since both sides were Americans). 2% of Americans (620,000) died in it, and ironically a majority of them were deaths from disease. Paraguay starts a war trying to impose a coup on Uruguay, draws Brazil into it, makes the voluntary choice to declare war on Argentina, and ends up losing 60% of its population (around 400,000 men), over three quarters of all losses suffered in that war. Bravo Francisco Solano Lopez. You deserve a Darwin Award for that one.
This comment has quite a few inaccuracies, but the most blatantly ignorant are: 1. The War began with the Brazilian invasion of Uruguay. 2. Paraguay trying to impose a coup in Uruguay? Paraguay supported the White Party, which was democratically elected. The opposition, supported by Brazil, was the one who carried out a coup. 3. The declaration of war on Argentina is given after it has allowed the passage of Brazilian troops for an invasion of Paraguay, which constitutes a full-fledged Causus beli.
Their bravery was commendable, yes, but it was stupid bravery in a stupid war. They suffered the largest % of the population out of any war in history, roughly 60-70%, depending on which sources you believe.
Fun fact that Solano Lopez was part of Napoleon III court. Germans invaded France in 1870 and won that war in just 6 months. Both of them were powerless in 1870
@@Eliasrs-iw9hk Brazil was practically alone in the war since the argentines and uruguayans sent very few troops, also paraguay still got gangbanged no matter what so
Julio Argentino Roca No he didnt he was fleeing and the Brazilian and Argentinian men instead of letting the civilians go they would rape and pillage the cities! All generals retreat, and thats when the defense relies on the civilians, Poland did the same in 1944 in Warsaw and they dont get shit for it
Ik this is beating a dead horse as this comment is a year old but, paraguay only lasted because the allies didnt have knowledge of the terrain and barely had strategic goals , preaty much the vietnam war.
Ayo the part of civilians dying is true but Solano exetended the war and did warcrimes himself, a simple surrender would've ended it faster and less people would suffer.
@Poder Vida Shut the f**k up. We all know what he meant, which was just Spanish-speaking countries. You just wanted an excuse to hate on USA. For the record, USA has many cultures that are known worldwide. WTF is your country known for, do*che?
OCTAPUS 444 They didn't. You only listened to the Paraguayan view of facts , check out the book "Citizen Emperor" I found it free in English for download in the internet (copyright expired , I think that was the government of Australia which uploaded it). From it's 311 pages 145 are about Brazilian external policies and wars , you'll see the truth (or at least another point of view) there
oh yeah, sure, the empire of Brazil should not have attacked Paraguay after Paraguay invaded the Brazilian province of mato grosso, raped and killed the local population, not to mention that the Paraguayan troops kidnapped the governor of the province of mato grosso and killed the same one of hunger in prison, right? The fault of all this misfortune is Solano Lopez, who dragged this war for three more years even when he had no chance to win, and even sent children and old people to the battlefields ... This bastard invaded mine country and with his army killed and raped my people, and even after all the disgrace that this scourge caused, do I still see people defending this monster?
Jake, You commited a mistake at 2:04, the battle o f Tuyutí resulted in a Allied (Brazil, Uruguay, Argetina) victory, not a Paraguaywan one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tuyut%C3%AD www.theartofbattle.com/battle-of-tuyuti-1866/ Not to mention the Second Battle of Tuyutí also resulted in a allied Victory, in this case you got it right: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Battle_of_Tuyut%C3%AD
They also had a very good military at the time (compared to South American nations'). Legend also says they were incredible fighters that fought till their last breath - which also explains why 60% of the population dies in this war.
Bloodiest American wars Mexican revolution 1 - 3 million deaths American Civil war 700,000 to 1 million deaths The Paraguayan war 400,000 to 500,000 deaths
Good video, i like it as paraguayan. But i have to tell you there was some chronological erros. The seige of urugaiana was in 1865 and all the battles in argentinian territoy were too in 1865 except for the battle of corrales, and you forgot to mention the battle of riachuelo, the graetest naval battle in south american history and one of the most decisive battles of the war (11 huin 1865, allied victory) And the first battle of tuyuti was a allied victory and other of the most decisive battles of the war meanwhile the second battle of tuyuti was a paraguayan victory. You seem well informated about the causes of the war no like the majority of the videos in english that i ve seen :)
@rfl 62 Paraguay warned Brazil that they would attack if Brazil invaded Uruguay Brazil did not take Paraguay seriously despite it having a very powerful military. To Brazil, they and Argentina were the main regional players, and Paraguay was an afterthought.
Well it would be impossible for them to become the leading power, but I could see Uruguay not siding with Brazil and Argentina because of spite, and Paraguay possibly focusing advances into the Chaco region, leading to more stabilization of the front, maybe letting them eventually get their claims.

Before leaving Argentina for England, he said: “It was not the people who brought me down. It was the monkeys, the Brazilians''
The only war between both countries ended with the creation of Uruguay, after that nothing more happened. The one who involved Buenos Aires and the Argentine Confederation were only them, Brazil just helped Buenos Aires but it didn't do that much, just watch the coastline of Buenos Aires
While i admit Paraguays emperor was insane and killed nearly all of his population in a useless war, i must admire the fact thay they held out for so many years and did not surrender despite the odds. Respect

At the start, multiple other southern countries are mentioned which soon became non-existent, can someone tell me where I can find the list of those countries? Or tell me what they were?
Paraguay only exists today thanks to the Emperor Pedro II of Brazil. After the war, the president of Argentina suggested to Brazil to split Paraguay between the two victorious nations. On the other hand, the Emperor expected that the next enemy (of a possible future war) would be against Argentina and it would be helpful to have the less frontier as possible with Argentina. However, time has proven them to be allies of Brazil in several other issues along time. Today, Brazil have no interest with Paraguai, as they export drugs and weapons by smuggling to Brazil and protect wanted criminals of Brazil and etc.
@@BlockWorks no, Brazil took the lands that were disputed before the war that both nations claimed. Brazil didnt take a inch of core paraguayan territory. Had paraguay won the war It Would have annexed the lands It claimed. Bye the way, the invasion of mato grosso was launched to occupy brazilian land and incorporate the claimed lands ( and perhaps annex some core Brazilian territory)

Most of the work was done by Brazilian forces, mentioning that Brazil chased Solano Lopes, who got killed by an Imperial soldier. The Paraguayans started the war, Solano Lopes thought he was Napoleon and got destroyied by Brazilian Troops.
@Julio Argentino Roca Actually the south front was composed of brazilian soldiers mostly, by the end of the war brazil had 200 thousand men, while argentina had 30 thousand
Brazil: *disrespects Paraguay's existence and invades Uruguay* Uruguay: *Rebels aganist it's government which is an ally of Paraguay* Argentina: *supports enemies of Paraguay* People at 21th century: why they declared war to 3 countries lol
No, uruguay was in a civil war that was causing some conflicts in the southern of brazil, so brazil intervened in the civil war helping the side that was friendly with brazil, then this win the civil war, defeating the other side, that was friend of paraguay, so paraguay declared war in brazil, and ask argentina to support paraguay and argentina denied so paraguay declared war in argentina too
show me some proof and I may change my mind. And saying proof I mean facts that can be checked. As you might now sometimes the people who write history don't base themselves in facts and rather choose allegations, sotries, interpretations, etc
Francisco Solano Lópes was killed with a spear by a cavalry man know in Brazil as ''Chico Diabo'', roughely translated, as ''Francis the Devil'', he earned 100 cows for the deed, although the order was that Solano was to be taken alive, he also kept the golden sword of Solano, you can see both the Sword and the spear at Rio de Janeiro National Museum.

And Argentina too There was clearly brutality by the allied armies against civilians, but also the battles were large (by South American standards) and bloody. Solano never wanted to surrender unlike Napoleon III and took 60% of his country with his megalomania

They didn't start two world wars. The first world war was caused by austria-hungary and the second time the UK and France declared war on germany. Their population was expelled in multiple countries including czechoslavia, hungary, the balkans and other parts of europe. The entirety of prussia was stolen from them by the russians and its population also was kicked out. Germany was forced to pay reparations for both wars. They suffered a lot.
hazzmati Then Cold War division of Germany on two
hazzmati
Stop being a nazi apologist, Hitler invaded Poland and it was partitioned between the facist and communist scums.
hazzmati
Also just so you know, in WW1 it was Germany that declared war in France and Russia and invaded Belgium and France, so yeah it was Germany's fault the war became a world war. Learn some facts please
You know what is funnier is that Brazil only thought about creating its armed force and organized it during wars it was like that in the war of independence with the navy, it was like that with the army in the paraguay war and it was like that with the air force in the second world war ...

O exército brasileiro não surgiu durante a expulsão dos holandeses do nordeste ?
@@psicopataautista7132 ehhh não primeiro pq eramos colonia e segundo que como instituição e consciencia de classe o exercito so se organizou mesmo no périodo da guerra do paraguai tanto que muitas das guerras antes como da cisplatina o Brasil usou mercenários para lutar nas guerras
@@pemky6717 na verdade o nosso exército teve uma base verdadeira a partir da chegada da família portuguesa no Rio de Janeiro, mas o nosso exército existiu mesmo dês de as guerras para a Expulsão dos Holandeses no nordeste, apesar de ele não ter sido criado realmente nessa época, mas sim na época de Dom João VI, é por causa do "exército" que a gente tinha na época que o nosso país é tão grande, não é atoa que ele incentivou o surgimento dos bandeirantes (Centro-oeste), missionários jesuítas (Norte) e mercenários a procura de terras ricas em ouro e prata (Sul), durante o Principado do Brasil e no início do Império nós utilizávamos mercenários e soldados, soldados esses que hoje conhecemos eles como Dragões da Independência (os guardas que ficam em Brasília guardando o palácio do Planalto), mas até hoje se utilizam mercenários em exércitos, um exemplo é a Rússia, então isso não é algo que desclassifique aquilo como não sendo um exercito
Just a small correction: the disputed territories at the north of Paraguay were under the control of Brazil at the begining of the war. Other than that excellent work. I think this is the best one Ive seen so far. Also, Ive never read about 50k deaths of brazilian civlians, where did that happen? The invasion of MS and RS were not that deadly.
"the disputed territories at the north of Paraguay were under the control of Brazil at the begining of the war"
I know. I wrote who owned the claimed territory's in actuality in the description.
Probabily civilians recruits. Many of them were slaves and recently released at Brazilian side.
No hubo ninguna muerte de civiles brasileros.

The American Civil War (same time period) was the most costly war the US has fought (since both sides were Americans). 2% of Americans (620,000) died in it, and ironically a majority of them were deaths from disease.
Paraguay starts a war trying to impose a coup on Uruguay, draws Brazil into it, makes the voluntary choice to declare war on Argentina, and ends up losing 60% of its population (around 400,000 men), over three quarters of all losses suffered in that war.
Bravo Francisco Solano Lopez. You deserve a Darwin Award for that one.
This comment has quite a few inaccuracies, but the most blatantly ignorant are:
1. The War began with the Brazilian invasion of Uruguay.
2. Paraguay trying to impose a coup in Uruguay? Paraguay supported the White Party, which was democratically elected. The opposition, supported by Brazil, was the one who carried out a coup.
3. The declaration of war on Argentina is given after it has allowed the passage of Brazilian troops for an invasion of Paraguay, which constitutes a full-fledged Causus beli.
@@534fj5 That's false. Argentina was neutral, Paraguay requested permission to travel through Corrientes, Argentina refused, Paraguay invades.
my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, Captain Francisco Franz Dillenburg fought in this war on the brazilian side
Battle of Tuyuti wasn’t a paraguayan victory it was a paraguayan massacre from the triple allaince forces
Good God, paraguay kicked some ass and held really well for the situation they were in
OwnageCubed Indeed
Yes, they kicked, before their own ass was kicked and 90% of their masculine population was killed.
"Kicked some Ass" lol Paraguai got rekt, this was the most unnecessary war ever...
Their bravery was commendable, yes, but it was stupid bravery in a stupid war. They suffered the largest % of the population out of any war in history, roughly 60-70%, depending on which sources you believe.
Paraguay had the best tech and the largest army, but cannot defeat a entire continent
Fun fact that Solano Lopez was part of Napoleon III court. Germans invaded France in 1870 and won that war in just 6 months. Both of them were powerless in 1870

Ik this is beating a dead horse as this comment is a year old but, paraguay only lasted because the allies didnt have knowledge of the terrain and barely had strategic goals , preaty much the vietnam war.
Ayo the part of civilians dying is true but Solano exetended the war and did warcrimes himself, a simple surrender would've ended it faster and less people would suffer.

OCTAPUS 444 They didn't. You only listened to the Paraguayan view of facts , check out the book "Citizen Emperor" I found it free in English for download in the internet (copyright expired , I think that was the government of Australia which uploaded it). From it's 311 pages 145 are about Brazilian external policies and wars , you'll see the truth (or at least another point of view) there
oh yeah, sure, the empire of Brazil should not have attacked Paraguay after Paraguay invaded the Brazilian province of mato grosso, raped and killed the local population, not to mention that the Paraguayan troops kidnapped the governor of the province of mato grosso and killed the same one of hunger in prison, right?
The fault of all this misfortune is Solano Lopez, who dragged this war for three more years even when he had no chance to win, and even sent children and old people to the battlefields ... This bastard invaded mine country and with his army killed and raped my people, and even after all the disgrace that this scourge caused, do I still see people defending this monster?
Jake, You commited a mistake at 2:04, the battle o f Tuyutí resulted in a Allied (Brazil, Uruguay, Argetina) victory, not a Paraguaywan one:

Não, é guerra do Paraguai mesmo 😊.
É verdade
Very nice job, I am also currently working on this card
Paraguay battled with a coalition had 20 times more population than them... Truly insane
I think it's more than 20 times.
How did Paraguay win so many battles
They also had a very good military at the time (compared to South American nations'). Legend also says they were incredible fighters that fought till their last breath - which also explains why 60% of the population dies in this war.
Historias y Mapas The last sentence is sentence which all nations use lol
lol, agree. That's why I said "the Legend says" ;)
reset play
Larger better military
Since the Indendence of Paraguay, every paraguayan had to know how to shoot and have a musket
1:05 Paraguay OP plz nerf
Brazil: Yes
Bloodiest American wars
Mexican revolution 1 - 3 million deaths
American Civil war 700,000 to 1 million deaths
The Paraguayan war 400,000 to 500,000 deaths
Good video, i like it as paraguayan. But i have to tell you there was some chronological erros. The seige of urugaiana was in 1865 and all the battles in argentinian territoy were too in 1865 except for the battle of corrales, and you forgot to mention the battle of riachuelo, the graetest naval battle in south american history and one of the most decisive battles of the war (11 huin 1865, allied victory) And the first battle of tuyuti was a allied victory and other of the most decisive battles of the war meanwhile the second battle of tuyuti was a paraguayan victory. You seem well informated about the causes of the war no like the majority of the videos in english that i ve seen :)
For a small nation, Paraguay did pretty well in this war, I mean they didn't fall immediately.
well they enlisted half of his population including children and had a decent leader.
They enlisted children too? That's a little too much...
Oh, that's unfortunate...
@rfl 62 Paraguay warned Brazil that they would attack if Brazil invaded Uruguay
Brazil did not take Paraguay seriously despite it having a very powerful military. To Brazil, they and Argentina were the main regional players, and Paraguay was an afterthought.
Someone should make an alternate history where Paraguay wins the War and becomes the leading power of South America.
Well it would be impossible for them to become the leading power, but I could see Uruguay not siding with Brazil and Argentina because of spite, and Paraguay possibly focusing advances into the Chaco region, leading to more stabilization of the front, maybe letting them eventually get their claims.
Never Would paraguay be a major Power, even If won the war
Impossible, just impossible
Paraguay is way too much bypassed in numbers and population to win.
RUclipsr called WhatIfAltHist made it
Very good! Where did you get the map from?
Por que aumentan los números? los originales son 60 o 90 % de su población perdida de hombres no 98 o 99 % .__. No exageren
Another story south american that needs to become a film: In 1851, the Argentine Confederation declared war on the Empire of Brazil, The Caudillo Juan Manuel de Rosas, said: "Poor Brazilians, I will make your emperor my butler". In 1852, gauchos loyal to Pedro II and Uribez marched triumphantly in Buenos Aires, while Rosas fled in disguise and embarked on an English ship. Before leaving Argentina for England, he said: “It was not the people who brought me down. It was the monkeys, the Brazilians''
The only war between both countries ended with the creation of Uruguay, after that nothing more happened. The one who involved Buenos Aires and the Argentine Confederation were only them, Brazil just helped Buenos Aires but it didn't do that much, just watch the coastline of Buenos Aires
@@megustaelmate5499 lmao what a pathetic cope
When fighting Argentina and Uruguay I’m surprised Paraguay actually made staggering progress but when Brazil joined Paraguay was screwed

I had never seen this video before, as a Brazilian I thank you, you were one of the few who portrayed it impartially and correctly
Brazil didnt completely conquer Paraguay.Today the nations live in Peace!
Paraguay only exists today thanks to the Emperor Pedro II of Brazil. After the war, the president of Argentina suggested to Brazil to split Paraguay between the two victorious nations. On the other hand, the Emperor expected that the next enemy (of a possible future war) would be against Argentina and it would be helpful to have the less frontier as possible with Argentina. However, time has proven them to be allies of Brazil in several other issues along time. Today, Brazil have no interest with Paraguai, as they export drugs and weapons by smuggling to Brazil and protect wanted criminals of Brazil and etc.
@@gustavogoncalves3083 se as leis funcionassem no Brasil....

@@BlockWorks no, Brazil took the lands that were disputed before the war that both nations claimed. Brazil didnt take a inch of core paraguayan territory.
Had paraguay won the war It Would have annexed the lands It claimed. Bye the way, the invasion of mato grosso was launched to occupy brazilian land and incorporate the claimed lands ( and perhaps annex some core Brazilian territory)

It’s sad to think about thinking the leader would go out of the capital and get men to fight in the army
so how did paraguay recore from this enough to take chacko from bolivia?
The war of Paraguay was in 1864-70, and the war of the Chaco was in the 30', so they had a lot of time to recore
Chaco War was like 60 Years after this lol
really? i thought it was much earlier. the more you know
Still 60 years isn't a long time to recover the 90% of your male population that you had just lost.

The Music On 2:43 - 6:28 Was Just So Epic
Most of the work was done by Brazilian forces, mentioning that Brazil chased Solano Lopes, who got killed by an Imperial soldier. The Paraguayans started the war, Solano Lopes thought he was Napoleon and got destroyied by Brazilian Troops.
@Julio Argentino Roca Actually the south front was composed of brazilian soldiers mostly, by the end of the war brazil had 200 thousand men, while argentina had 30 thousand
I always think that "be a man" from mulan would be a great song for Lopez while he trains child soldiers at the siege of Asonsion.

show me some proof and I may change my mind. And saying proof I mean facts that can be checked. As you might now sometimes the people who write history don't base themselves in facts and rather choose allegations, sotries, interpretations, etc
Francisco Solano Lópes was killed with a spear by a cavalry man know in Brazil as ''Chico Diabo'', roughely translated, as ''Francis the Devil'', he earned 100 cows for the deed, although the order was that Solano was to be taken alive, he also kept the golden sword of Solano, you can see both the Sword and the spear at Rio de Janeiro National Museum.
