Solano Lopez was arrogant, he tried defeat 3 countries at once, exposed his country to a shame and eliminated over 90% of his men.

Well, of course, Brazil installed a puppet government in Uruguay once they overtook the country.

that moment when you help your friend in a civil war but instead, you get destroyed by 3 nations including the one you tried to help
He just used this as an excuse to have acess to the Atlantic Sea. While the whole country was more like a big slum, the industrial center of Assunción was the greatest of South America, and since noone was an ally of Solano López, because D. Pedro II eliminated all the dictadorships (the Blancos) in the Plate Region, and his only reliable trade partner was the UK, he had two options:
*Pay to have an access to the Plate River; or
*Declare war on the Greatest power of Latin America, with the 2nd biggest Navy in the world and most populated than all the other countries of South America togheter, since noone was living in Mato Grosso at the time, and his army was superior to the Brazilian one.
He choosed the second one, and got destroyed by Brazil (Argentina almost didn't helped because it was a mess and Uruguay just send 3000 men to the battlefield)

Solano Lopez thought that he would make a new Prussia out of Paraguay.
*Ruins the country's demographics for the centuries to come*
That's blatantly false. Solano Lopez may have been stupid and impulssive when he declared war, but he didn't have imperialism in mind. He was naive and idealistic enough to think he could/had to free Uruguay from Brazilian occupation and win, but he didn't think himself as a Napoleon or South American "Attila", as the Allied propaganda portrayed him.

Solano Lopez: oOf
@Cavior Samhain of course he means that time.
@Cavior Samhain Of course he means at the time, why would current demographics matter to a conflict that happened in the 19th century?
The situation is that Brazil had no good army in that time. Brazilian army started to develop only after it. In fact: in that war won only Great Britain, bcs it broke armies and economies of all of that countries (Argentina and Brazil take more then a thousands of loans) and Paraguay at some point may won that war just becouse of no-loans from Britain.
Population at the beginning of 1864:
• Brazil: 8.945.000
• Argentina: 1.550.000
• Uruguay: 259.500
• Paraguay: 605.000
Argentina was the 6th most populous country in that time, today it is the 3rd.
@@Veyrxi GB wanted the triple alliance to win the war because it had good trade agreements with Brazil and Argentina, the fact is that Paraguay was arrogant, didn't have such a strong army and entered into a conflict it could never win, regardless of aid or not the British, they were 3 countries against one.

That kinda shows the type of human being he was. It's sad for the paraguayans, that had lived with some consequences for many decades if not to this day.
He also ordered a massacre of village because they tried to surrender

@an nice why did the Germans keep following Hitler? Charismatic leaders tend to have blind worshippers who'll go to hell with them if asked to.
@an nice Legionaire as in the paraguaya foreign legions in brazil and argentina that fought against their own fatherland
Some FACTS about this war:
1. Most deaths were caused by disease (cholera, yellow fever etc.) and famine, you see, soldiers do not work the fields.
2. Practically the entirety of the Paraguayan navy was defeated in the Battle of Riachuelo by a detachment of the Brazilian navy and thus Paraguay lost all its access to the external world in 1865 at the beginning of war.
3. Paraguay used outdated guns and cannons. While the Brazilians were using rifled Minié repeating guns and breech loading rifles to a lesser extent.
4. Brazil could build ironclads and monitors, several were built in Rio de Janeiro and sent to the war theater. The paraguayans managed to sink one using a contact mine but for the most part their artillery was very ineffective against the monitors armour.
5. After the battle of Tuyutí a peace offer was made to Paraguay, under the condition that Paraguayan president resigned his office, but he refused.
6. Paraguayans had contracted British and French engineers to assist them in building a complex system of strongholds and defenses, which halted the Allied advance but were eventually captured (Humaitá etc.) that's why the Frontlines don't change that much throughout the conflict.
7. The war did not end with the capture of the Paraguayan capital Asunción, although the commander in chief of the allied forces, the Duke of Caxias, already weary of the war, deemed it finished with the fall of Asunción and asked to be replaced. The war continued until the Battle of Cerro Corá in 1870 when the Paraguayan president was killed in battle by a Brazilian corporal who's nickname was "Frank the Devil".
8. A provisional government was installed in Paraguay by Brazil and the country was military occupied for 6 years until 1876.
9. Many Paraguayan officers had done their military studies in Brazil before the war.
Cabo Chico Diabo. No diabo, Chico deu cabo.
10.-The oficial name of this war in spanish is "La guerra de la triple alianza", traslate to english "The war of the triple aliance"
11. The United States of America intervenes and said that Paraguay should exist and not being Poland-ed

Lopez was crazy. The people just wanted to protect their lands and families like in all the wars in history
Paraguay declaring war on both Argentina and Brazil is about as crazy and unlikely as Germany declaring war on both the British and French empires and the Soviet Union, that would never hap..... oh wait, nevermind.
Paraguay's move was even crazier. Germany nazis were perhaps the most prepared army at that time (along with the US), the Soviet Union soldier casualty loss was two or three times the German's one. The extreme winter and some bad decisions lead to German loss on Easter front. Some analysis show that even if Germany won on that side, they would eventually lost the war anyway, but they were preparing this war for years, they were the most technolgically advanced nation in the world and they were extremely organized.
On the other side, UK PM Chamberlain was about to surrender to Germany. They were perhaps lucky to have a mastermind as Churchill who made the British miraculously resist German attacks almost alone for a long period.
I think attacking the Soviets as they did was a mistake, but not a crazy move. The fatal mistake was declaring the war on US (IDK what would happen if they didn't), when they needed more men on the Eastern side...
Nabium they dont declare war on Argentina. The war started with only Brazil and Uruguay, because Paraguay was a super power in South America in those times and wanted to extend its territory. Paraguay wanted to invade Uruguay so they can invade Brazil from the south (in those moments Paraguay was winning the war), so they ask Argentina if they can send their troops through their territory, (because Uruguay was doing that also) and they say no. But the paraguayan troops did it anyway, so Argentina declared the war against Paraguay, and with 2 super powers of south america against them, they lost the war and million of habitants. It was a total masacre.

So, Paraguay declared war on Brazil in order to protect Uruguay's Sovereignty, but then Uruguay declared war on Paraguay...
Biggest Anime Betrayal
It wasn't exactly to protects Uruguay's Sovereignty, it was more to guarantee their own interests. As you can see, Paraguay didn't have access to the ocean, and it was bad for their economy, the only access they had to the Atlantic was by a river called Parana, but Parana wasn't in Paraguayans hands, it was controlled by Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, most of it was controlled by Uruguay, including the mouth of the river. So Paraguay only had access to the river because the party in control of the Uruguay was Paraguay's ally, but then another party emerged and a civil war started, also because of their own interests, Brazil supported the party that emerged and that was against Paraguay. Then the civil war ended and the party that was against Paraguay won, so they lost access to the river because Brazil and the new Uruguay denied it, that's when the war begun, it was all about Paraguay having access to that damn river. I might be wrong here on a lot of things, but it was just to clarify that Paraguay wasn't a good guy defending Uruguay.
@@fusososososo3507 Thanks for pointing it out.
@@fusososososo3507errou apenas o final, o Brasil e Uruguai não cortaram as rotas do Paraguai, mas o Paraguai considerou o Brasil um ocupante do Uruguai e aprisionou um chefe de província na fronteira e depois invadiu o Brasil.

@Ectria Yes, many Brazilian citizens say that, that the abuses of the Paraguayan troops in Mato Grosso justify the subsequent massacres of the civilian population of Paraguay. But it is curious that they never mention specific places and names of those responsible for such abuses, because if they were abuses they would have to be massive to justify such revenge. Not for a second do they think that the war propaganda could exaggerate the events to justify the actions of the Government, but even if these abuses had occurred, does this justify the subsequent massacres? The civilian population was not aware, much less was it responsible for the actions of the troops in Mato Grosso. But anyway, if you believe that those alleged massive abuses that occurred in places not mentioned by nameless people justify the abuses of the imperial troops, then valid those abuses, if you validate them and your compatriots mostly think like you, then They will commit those acts again, because surely their propaganda will find some wrong to settle.

Good video! Greetings from Paraguay!
The end of the Paraguayan War was the start to the conspirancy by some generals of the imperial army against the government in order to abolish the monarchy and declare the republic. In November 15 the republic was declared, and this video was uploaded this exactly same day. Coincidence?

FINALLY MAN, I WAS EXPECTING TJIS VIDEO FORCA LONG TIME.
I was wondering about Paraguay. Thanks.
Yo nose que pensaba el presidente paraguayo en ese entonces al invadir Argentina, desde ahí comenzó a perder la guerra. Yo vivo muy cerca de donde fueron las batallas, y se puede decir que hasta el día de hoy el pueblo paraguayo siente esa derrota, y hablan mal sobre nosotros los argentinos sabiendo que ellos invadieron la provincia de corrientes ya que argentina no le dejó el paso para que paraguay mande tropas a uruguay.
Invadió Argentina porque la idea era llegar a Uruguay y garantizar el libre acceso al mar para Paraguay, la invasión de la región de Mato Grosso de Brasil no era una prioridad y solo se podía acceder a la región a través del Río de la Plata. La idea era que Argentina permitiera que Paraguay luchara contra Brasil en su territorio, confiando en la rivalidad entre Brasil y Argentina y porque los territorios de Corrientes y Entre Ríos estaban muy poco desarrollados y poblados en ese momento.
Yo soy Paraguayo y coincido. ¿Que mierda tenia Lopez en la cabeza cuando le declaro la guerra a la Argentina siendo que ya estaba en guerra con Brasil?
Convengamos que el forro de Mitre declara la guerra por orden británica, para que nadie se desarrolle acá. Aún si Paraguay se quedaba en el molde iba a ser eventualmente destruido como cada país que intentó progresar.
@@matiasbarraquero9347 y que preferias? Que argentina le hubiera dejado libre paso a Paraguay para que Brasil se pusiera en su contra? Eso sin tener en cuenta además de que si les iba mal a los paraguayos y eran repelidos por Brasil se iban a tener que batir en retirada atravesando Corrientes con tropas brasileñas pisándoles los talones, o sea paraguayos y brasileños peleando en territorio argentino. Cualquiera en sus cabales hubiera hecho lo mismo que Mitre.

Paraguay, the agressor, under a rogue egomaniac dictator, who strongly misjudged current geopolitics.
WTF????
It seems to me that you are ignoring the fact that the empire invaded Uruguay in September 1864 despite a clear warning from Paraguay that this would be considered an act of war. Brazil was the aggressor sir.
@@gustavosanchez4538 Brazil was helping the colorados and brazilians were being suprimed in uruguay

@@UltranationalisticBrazilian right to invade a neighbor without provocation and bomb their cities to impose a puppet government?
Wow, I guess in your line of thought slavery in the empire was also a right because it was written somewhere, maybe then the genocide is fully justified if someone certifies the paper where it is talked about. Of all the arguments that have been given to me, yours is undoubtedly the most... let's say, bureaucratic.
Dark fact about the war:
Children's Day is celebrated on October 14th in Paraguay. This is due to the fact that during the Paraguayan War, on that same day, the battle of Acosta Nu took place, in which the Brazilian army defeated and killed a battalion that was composed of Paraguayan children
Some historians claim that it was the fault of the Paraguayan dictator for cowardly sending children to war rather than surrender. This battle still generates debates today.
The 1860s was a time of war in America
Basically everyone in a couple of months when animation Chanel’s get shut down
American Civil War, Second French Intervention in Mexico and Paraguayan War! it was really wild indeed.
The government of Colombia foreseeing Paraguay would entirely disappear, declared that all Paraguayans who were able to reach colombian soil, would receive automatic citizenship. Therefore a nice brotherhood was born and today there's a city in Paraguay called "New Colombia" and any citizen from either country may automatically claim citizenship from the other one.
🇨🇴🇵🇾
And it was the only real support that Paraguayans had in those times and that we will never forget. Long live Colombia !!!
As strange as it sounds, Paraguay had quite the powerful army for its time, arguably being more developed than any of their neighbors... unfortunately, that doesn't mean much when you're entirely surrounded by your enemies, especially ones that are getting the support of the rest of the world.
I love this slight new style of mapping!
Ninguém manda mexer com quem tá quieto.
The fact that Paraguay managed to hold out this long, win many victories and even take territory against while landlocked against two of the largest countries in south america is actually impressive.
He had prepared himself a few years before the war, and he had an army larger than the three countries combined.
@@Green_404 At the start, still doesn't take away from the fact that they held their own for this long.

A correction to the channel owner. In spite of note (1:14): "01 May 1865: Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay form the Triple Alliance against Paraguay", the real Triple Alliance pact was made in secret almost one year before in the Conference of Puntas del Rosario (June,18 1864): the Brazilian imperial ministry José Antonio Saraiva, the pro-Brazil warlord and Uruguayan oligarquic ruler Venancio Flores (with two another Uruguayan representatives: Andre Lamas and Florentino Castellanos), and the Argentine representative Rufino Elizalde was the subscribers of the pact, under presence and supervision of its instigator, the British diplomatic representative Edward Thornton. The infamous pact of Puntas del Rosario established Brazilian and Argentine military support for the supremacy of political factions favorable to the elite of Buenos Aires and the slave-owning farmers of southern Brazil (Colorado Party), and future hostile acts that would lead to war against Paraguay (from the Brazilian invasion of Uruguay), opening its economy to dependence on British capital, in addition to the destruction of the country and dismemberment of its territory shared between the governments of the three countries (Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil). In december, 1864 Elizalde, in a letter, points the necessity of an Alliance to destroy Paraguay. Articles in La Nación, the newspaper of Buenos Aires caudillo and future president, Bartolomé Mitre, between september and october of 1864 (thus, before the official starting of the war) called for the alliance between Brazil, Argentina and Uruguayan Colorados for the invasion, looting and destruction of Paraguay, and claimed such alliance. In 1869, at the end of war, José Marmol, Argentine representative in Rio de Janeiro, confessed: "The alliance with Brazil does not come from May [18]65, but from May [18]64". Consuelor José Antonio Saraiva in a letter (December 1st, 1894) to brazilian politician-statesman Joaquim Nabuco, confirmed latter: "said alliances were realized the day that the Brazilian minister and the Argentine minister conferred with Flores at Puntas del Rosario, and not the day that Otaviano and I, as Minister of Foreign Affairs, signed the pact [of May 1, 1865]" (Joaquim Nabuco, War of Paraguay/ Um Estadista do Império, vol.3).
Among the topics discussed at the Puntas del Rosario conference included the possible transformation of Paraguay into an Argentine province.
The conference is also irrefutable proof of English participation in hostilities against Paraguay; forgotten participation, hidden or minimized by ideologically-biased historians, who in Brazil make up the mainstream narrative about the destruction of Paraguay through that war: Ricardo Salles (identitarian/negationist), Leslie Bethell (pro-England) and Francisco Doratioto (representative of proto-Bolsonarist historiography: tries to legitimize Brazilian crimes, appeals to a personalist version of history, idolizes, -as was done in almost a century of military dictatorships and fascism in Brazil-, the military staff responsible for the extermination, as well as the Brazilian slave-onwer empire - or tries to absolve them for the atrocities they ordered/allowed - when it does not minimize the number of deaths, always resorting to very idiosyncratic readings of historical documents, ignoring several others).
Militarily and politically, the war against Paraguay began with the Brazilian invasions of Argentina and Uruguay between 1851-52 and most especially with the Argentine invasion by Mitre-backed mercenaries/miltias in Uruguay between May-June 1863, leading to the paraguayan rupture with Argentina in December; and the brazilian invasion of August-December 1864, supported by European powers (mainly the British Empire with its representative, Lettson, who explicitly declared himself for the Brazilian invasion) and which led to the warlord Venâncio Flores (representative of brazilian landlords interests) to power as tyrant of Uruguay. At the cost of massacres done by Brazilian-Argentine forces such as those in Paysandu and Montevideo, (the latter with the participation of Brazilian admiral Tamandaré), and the elimination of nationalist/ Paraguayan-friendly forces of Blanco Party, (within which Brigadier General Diego Eugenio Lamas played a key-role) Flores paid the English-Brazilian-Argentine support of his ascension , joining the war against Paraguay in May, 1865, as stipulated at the Puntas del Rosario conference a year earlier. So, the war of the Triple Alliance against Paraguay started many years before in River Plata/Platine Wars, being a moment of a greater war that includes the events of 1851-52 and 1863-64. That's why it's also called the Guassu War (Guerra Guassu, in Spanish-Guarani: the Great War).
Greets from Brazil.
Great work as usual EmperorTigerstar! In my opinion most of it seems to be accurate, but there are a few things that are slightly different from what I've studied. For example, Paraguay didn't formally declared war against Brazil, but actually invaded the Mato Grosso province believing that it should anticipate a future aggression. Brazilian military officials only heard of the attack weeks after Paraguay had reached the city of Corumbá, meaning that for the first few months, Brazil had no military reaction. Also, the borders are a little inaccurate. Some of the territory shown as being part of Paraguay were actually disputed areas between other countries, so they didn't actually had full control over it. For example, the areas between the Apa and Branco rivers were disputed with Brazil and the Corrientes province and the Bermejo river were disputed with Argentina. Anyway, the rest is pretty much correct, in my opinion of course.
Looks like Paraguay went to the Prussian school of waging war.
but skipped the part where they teach you how to win it
That's the joke, prussians were so bad at diplomacy that every war they started was unattainable
@@diegodiego1234 they weren't bad at diplomacy, its just that they do their diplomacy at a whole another level. i don't know what you mean by "every war they start was unattainable"

This war is really interesting
Could someone explain to me why Paraguay declared war on 2 countries that are like 10 times bigger than it?
Remember that Brazil is mostly jungle at that point. Paraguay being a land locked country seems a mayor disadvantage though.
@@akrybionParaguay wasnt really landlocked, in fact it's a whole fluvial mess filled with rivers, Several naval battles happened in paraguay
It was all because of Paraguay's leader. A man called Francisco Solano Lopez. He travelled to Europe and fascinated by the prussian army, decided to reassemble the paraguayan army to fit the prussian standard. He was always looking for an opportunity to start war confident of his new army and the uruguayan civil war gave him the perfect excuse to begin. Later on he asked for Argentinian government to allow him to move his troops through the territory but at the time Argentina was a weakened confederacy and they didn't want to take the risk of going to war against Brazil so they denied it and then Solano Lopez invaded Argentina dragging it into the conflict. He didn't surrendered until the last moment and pretty much all of Paraguay perished to his stubbornness.
Dunno what posessed them to attack Argentina but Brazil had a metric fuckton of uninhabited jungle and land owned by uncooperative natives while paraguyay didn't so it wasn't actually that lopsided at the start.
@Pirulito Socialista Na verdade a Argentina estava neutra, ela rejeitou tanto o pedido de acesso militar dos brasileiros quanto dos Paraguaios, embora ela tambem apoiasse os colorados

Argentina wanted to take all Paraguayan territory and split it in half with Brazil. But Brazil rejected, because we wanted Paraguay to be a "divisor" between Brazil and Argentina frontier.

well, maybe so... or maybe Brazil could not sustained the occupation of very unfriendly territory.
@@ciudadanodelarepublicapopu5358 Brazil did not annex Paraguay because Argentina did oppose it, they feared a war with the Argentines and they were already broke. Thus, the limits were those established in the secret treaty of 1865 and Paraguay was able to survive thanks to that situation.
