If Paraguay had won the Paraguayan War (aka the War of the Triple Alliance) and 90% of its men were thus not killed, would utopia-minded settlers from countries such as Australia, Germany, Japan, and Russia have gone to countries other than Paraguay in the late 1800s and early 1900s? In other words, would settlements like New Australia and Nueva Germania have been founded somewhere other than Paraguay, given that Paraguay would not have been quite as desperate for more men to settle and work the land in the aftermath of the Paraguayan War?
