I just realized that Paraguay has their capital right on the border with Argentina. It's a very fucking retarded move

We promise not to do anything

Why?

paraguay war was very cringe
imagine if that not happened, paraguay would have 30 millions of inhabitants instead of 7m and far more whitoid than now

didn't they start it

it didn't use to be, Paraguay used to reach up to that river you see further south, parallel to their current border
besides, all the chimping out and murdering non combatants and wrecking their hospitals was Brazil's doing, we're not animals like that so nothing to fear

Why did you attack a small country like Paraguay?

They need their capital as far away from Brazil as possible

To be fair, we put the border next to their capital.

You may not be a animal, but you'll soon live like one after your 95499494 default and the inevitable collapse of your economy

Evil European genes brought from Italian ancestry

Paraguay originally claimed a significant amount of land further south.

We are huge land owners in Paraguay though. Their country is de facto ours

Brazil intervened in the Uruguayan civil war.
Lopez in Paraguay didn't like it and launched a secret invasion on us
Then he wanted to go to Uruguay, but needed to go through Argentina
Argentina didn't allow him
He then invaded Argentina too
Then we United against him
Paraguay at the time had been investing heavily in military, and Lopez seems to have just wanted to go Napoleon.
Wish we didn't have to go to war, I like Paraguay. But after they invaded Mato Grosso and murdered defenseless people (all troops were in Uruguay), we couldn't just stand still.
We had the right to intervene in Uruguay, it literally had just separated from us. There are cities that are half here, half there. Many uruguayans were just Brazilians, and they were being mistreated and robbed.

Paraguay was meddling in Uruguayan politics (and so were Argentina and Brazil). The party the Paraguayans supported lost. Their ruler just went "hey Brazil, let our army march to Uruguay" to which they replied "no"
Then they did the same with Argentina and we replied the same.
And then they said fuck it and actually started to mobilize south and wrecked a few towns on their way. So Paraguay shot first. Why did think his was a good idea, idunno

>Why did think his was a good idea, idunno
Because Napoleon did the same thing and won(the first coalition war, of course). Lopez was really just larping as Napoleon.

did they think this*

noted, but that makes us even less of a threat

You know much of that is bullshit that lefties from here made as communist propaganda, right?
Much of it has been debunked lately, such as the "85% of the population killed" meme.
Literally look at the wiki page and it says so. New books have been released on the topic, and the author that made previous claims admitted it was made up.

Paraguay today are of Australian/British origin ;)

>imagine if that not happened?

1.) Imagine if that hadn’t happened
2.) Imagine if that hadn’t have happened
3.) Imagine if that didn’t happen

This is an English speaking board. Please use correct grammar.

>communist propaganda
how so? Lopez was not a labour president

shut up angloid scum

Xupame la minga dominga
We are changing your language, deal with it

To place a bad image in the empire, just tag us as genocidal meanies.
Another meme they started here was that Paraguay was heavily industrialized, and the eternal Anglo manipulated Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay into invading glorious Paraguay and stopping their industrial advance, which was a great menace to Britain.
Wasn't to defend Lopez, just to mess with our past

Yeah but Napoleon was in a far better position and his armies and military industries were somewhat comparable. Even with them investing heavily on their military they were really on a lower league than either Brazil or Argentina, much less both countries at once

I'm pretty sure the information comes from their own census, and even totalitarian governments don't like to fudge with those numbers because they need them to allocate resources

For a long time, these informations were spread and most people believed in it.
Still a common myth nowadays. They taught me something like this in school. It's what they say in Paraguay too.
It's all just bullshit, really. A lie that got fixed into place.
If we had killed 85% of Paraguay's male population and all it's army, then they wouldn't be able to declare war against Bolivia and win a few decades later, in the chaco war

Serious question
n:
What were they thinking when they started the war that exterminated 90% of their male population?

based i hate ESL scum

basically wanted to expand
also, read the other replies

I have a richer English vocabulary than the average American. They can beat me at grammar and being natural though.
