paraguayan war

In Brazilian historiography, the growth of republicanism and the decline of the monarchy is more often than not attributed to the Paraguayan War one way or another. The challenge is how can the Empire survive into the 20th century with a POD in 1870 (Right after the Paraguayan War ended and...

Francisco Solano López was the Dictator/President of Paraguay during the 1860s to 1870s. He would bring Paraguay in the disastrous Paraguayan War, against the Empire of Brazil, and Argentina, the two powers of the Region, and also Uruguay. López would die during the war, while trying to kill a...

In 1865, going against the advices of his ministers, Dom Pedro II travel to the Brazilian city of Uruguaiana, that has been taken by the paraguayans but was in siege by Brazilian Army, where he ride his horse in distance of a paraguayan rifle shoot, but the soldiers doesn’t shoot. His...

well i'm making my first alternate video but in spanish , so sorry i guess , its about them winning the war of the triple alliance . but since a part of my audience are from paraguay and argentina i want them to show them enough to dispel the myth of british intervention , that states...

At the end of the Paraguay War, the country had to cede territories to its neighbors, especially to the powerful Empire of Brazil. But what if the story was different? What if Brazil seizes the opportunity to establish a monarchy in Paraguay under the command of Princess Isabel and Count...

While it's often overlooked in the West, the Paraguayan War (also known as the War of the Triple Alliance) was one of the most bloody and devastating wars in Latin American history. How might the absence of this conflict have changed history?

A couple of Alternate History Challenges: Make the Paraguayan War last longer than it did (substantially so) with a POD in 1864. Make the Paraguayan War more initially successful for Paraguay than in OTL without letting them win the war with a POD in 1864. Any responses are welcome, but...

So, for those of you who don't know, Paraguay, especially 19th-century Paraguay, is fucking crazy. No, really, it's fucking crazy. It simultaneously went to war with Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay despite only being a fraction of the size of either of them (with the exception of Uruguay) in the...

Try to get Napoleon III to intervene in the Paraguayan war during the American Civil War either on the Triple alliance side or Paraguay side.

Inspired by the thread Robert E Lee stays entirely neutral, I wrote a comment about a proposal for a Robert E Lee who instead of fighting in the American Civil War, fights in the Paraguayan War. The idea was that he could fight on any 4 sides. Is this possible? I really hope it is because this...

So before the Paraguayan war, there were civil wars across South America, and when Rebels came back to Uruguay, Argentina supported them, which Paraguay told them to stop supporting the rebels. Then Brazil came and supported the Uruguayan rebels. So I was wondering if instead Brazil instead...

There have been many wars in the South American continent. South America was always irrelevant in world history after the Latin Wars for independence. After that South America is a footnote in history books. There have been very important conflicts in the World that is South America. The War for...

One day I started to think about the two world wars. Mainly World war 1. So when I was on the page, I saw the thread of "What if the American civil war turned into a world war?" And that really got me interested in alternate world wars. Earlier or later than it's specific timeline. I'm mainly...

Had they lost the war, how would the Latin American political landscape look like? As we all know, after Paraguay managed to win the war, they managed to get unrestricted access to the Parana and Uruguay river and a few river forts. Besides Rio Grande and Santa Catalina got their independence...

I'm aware that many people here aren't very familiar with the history of Paraguay. But before 1870, Paraguay was the Prussia of South America. Paraguay had a phenomonal military for it's size in matters of both quantity and quality. It had infrastructure surpassing that of it's larger neighbors...
