DBAHC: Make Paraguay lose the war of the triple alliance

As a potent industrial power backed by a highly unified, militarist society, it was nearly a foregone conclusion that Paraguay was going to win the war of the triple alliance and achieve their territorial ambitions against Brazil, Argentina, and Banda Oriental (which back then was called Uruguay). Given a POD at most twenty years in the past, is there any way the triple alliance could have won without foreign intervention?

Bonus round #1: You can't include "Imperator Dom Pedro II never falls from his horse" as part of your POD.
Bonus round #2: The American war of Reunion never happens, so Brazil is able to continue trading with the CSA

Come one, most of the so called *territorial ambitions" of Paraguay, was rigthfull Paraguayan land settled by paraguayans before the War, and was only Later claimed by The losers, Argentina and Brasil, that the land was part of some expansiónist design of Paraguay. It's básically a revanchist revisionist history from The losers

Look man, I live in the Perpetual Union of American States, if anyone understands unlawful conquest, it would be us. Paraguay took over parts of former imperial brazil that still speak portuguese today. Pretending like the whole area is critically paraguayan and refusing to compromise even a little is just going to put them at loggerheads with the lusitanian quadripartite crown.

I nevera Say there was not Territorial conquest of Former Brazilian Lands I Say that Most of the land that they call as Conquered by Paraguay was mostly Paraguayan, Básically Corrientes, Misiones and The part of southern Matto Grosso, of Course The Pantanal and northern Matto Grosso was Brazilian Lands.
To OP question have Chile don't Support Paraguay and that In middle of The war And The General Mapuche Rebelión By Calfucura in 1863 that provocarles that most of the Argentineans troops we're deployed in The south of the country far from The Paraguayan Frontier that make The Inicial phases of they Paraguayan war a walking, and let them entrench around The Uruguay river and Make short work of the Brazilian River Fleet, now I give you no one was expecting The mines that the Paraguayan deployed.

Are you infering that its ok for states to annex parts of other states based on ethnic makeup? Thats like saying it was ok for China to annex Formosa just because there were lots of Chinese immigrants there. What do they call it now, Taipein?

Seriously people, can we go one thread without bringing up that infamous little crusader state? I don't want this thread derailed by yet another neo-evangelical versus Greco-Roman catholic flamewar.
