      In 1851, the Argentine Confederation declared war on the Empire of Brazil, The Caudillo Juan Manuel de Rosas, said: "Poor Brazilians, I will make your emperor my butler". In 1852, gauchos loyal to Pedro II and Uribez marched triumphantly in Buenos Aires, while Rosas fled in disguise and embarked on an English ship. Before leaving Argentina for England, he said: “It was not the argentine people who brought me down. It was the monkeys, the Brazilians''

      Pierce was a random guy from New Hampshire, the darkhorsiest of darkhorses, who made no memorable impact and left after one term. He isn't even rememered for causing the Civil War, because another Democrat (Buchanan) followed him and took the blame. I did an entire project on Pierce in middle school and the only thing I remember about him is that he was depressed for his entire presidency because his son died right before it started.

  • @theobsessedmilitarist5965

    Bolivia is such a funny country (more politically speaking ), here is why:
    Right after independence in 1826 Bolivia always desired a better port to the sea so they proclaimed Arica as theirs. Initially it seemed Peru would accept giving them Arica but it refused. After the war of the Pacific they immediately started complaining about their lack of an access to a sea. As the Tacna-Arica dispute was going on at one moment Bolivia attempted to appeal to the League of Nations to have the matter revised but it predictably failed and the International Court back then rejected their case. At one moment some Bolivian diplomat indirectly suggested to Chile/Peru that, since neither of them could agree to referendum about Tacna/Arica and that since the dispute had been going on since 1894, it would be better if Bolivia got these territories. Of course both sides said no. And later when the USA attempted to arbitrate the issue of Tacna-Arica in 1925-26 Bolivia desired to participate in the talks as well but their pleas were ignored. And they're still at it until this day ! Losing a war and some territory is obviously never a good thing but whining about it all the time isn't really productive and good either lmao

    “He who serves his Country best, serves his Party best.” -Rutherford B. Hayes. RBH was also the first president to have a Presidential Library in the Presidential Library System. It’s located in Fremont, Ohio on the grounds of his home, Spiegel Grove-both open for tours (hours and touring opportunities may be limited currently because of the COVID Crisis).

    The War of the Triple Alliance/Paraguayan War was utterly devastating - massive % of loss.
    And with over 400,000 dead proportionally even deadlier than the American Civil War (given the much smaller population)
