Why did the president / dictator of Paraguay, LÃ²pez, declare war on neighboring countries in 1864? there is no answer.
Perhaps to show his strenght and shrewdness or to match Napoleon, of whom he was an admirer. (Or perhaps he was just unintelligent) The conflict lasted until 1870, lasting 6 years, more than half of the population of Paraguay died (including 90% of the adult males), about 20,000 men remained (who had survived the war because they were too old or too young to fight) and 220000 women.140,000 sq km of territory passed to Argentina and Brazil, the country was occupied by foreign troops until 1876. Is it legitimate to doubt that it was worth it?
