So, looking at the world of Kaiserreich, and it's community, there's a joke about "Nothing happens in South America" a meme that goes around the HOI4 community as well, showcasing the basically no large events happen in South America.

But in Kaiserreich, things spiced up in South America.

Basically, in 1880 Argentina was experiencing an economic boom from the export of wheat, and cattle, and allowed them to industrialize.

Then in the 1930s, with the Great Depression, Bolivia attempted to annex Paraguay, sparking a war between the two. This caused the Great South American war. Argentina soon won many battles against Bolivia, after which the Argentinians marched into Paraguay to annex them. (Due to the recent Paraguayan war which killed about 60% of the population, they weren't too willing to put up a defense).

In response to Argentinian aggression and major military threat, Brazil declares war on Argentina. Argentina then invades Uruguay. But fighting in trenches bogged down over time. Bolivia sued for peace later in the war.

Argentina then focuses all troops on Brazil, and they later sued for peace humiliated. After annexing Paraguay and Uruguay, they create a federation in the Union of La Plata.

(It's also told after German victory in the war, Argentina invaded, and annexed the Falklands, helping relations with the German superpower)

There were still problems, as Falklanders, Paraguayans, and Uruguayans are not given full rights as Argentinians, and they don't feel connected with the Federation. Bolivia also started to rearm, and Brazil's progressives are promising to bring back glory to Brazil.


So, is there anything wrong with this in Kaiserreich? And if so, how can you make La Plata a reality in our history?
