Paraguay kinda did become Prussia. They just forgot that the real Prussia only got where it was because in Europe there's always someone who'll bankroll you to fight the other guy.
Until Prussia got a solid base after the Napoleonic wars
Thanks to Britain
Plus, Prussia got where it was since it managed to build themselves up and carve territory from their weaker neighbours slowly and eventually building a large enough state to challenge the Mighty French Military, Undefeatable British Navy, the Influence of the Austrian Empire, and the Military Size of the Russian Empire.
The British and Americans have been trying to “bankroll” Paraguay against Brazil and Argentina for many years. Countries like , Canada, Australia, and the EU play supporting roles.
And another Prussia of South America:
Chile
As a south american myself, i would love to see more alt his of our continent, such as if the bolivian-peruvian confederation survived, if Patagonia stayed independent, if gran Colombia survived, if the independence wars failed, if the pan-spanish state was formed, if Brazil broke into smaller countries, if argentina won the Falklands war, if Uruguay or Paraguay didnt exist, what if the spanish monarch escaped to south american in the napoleónic wars,what if latín américa was rich, etc...
There is just so much to talk about that it seems like nobody cares.
I doubt much would change for a lot of these scenarios I guess during the pacific war Chile takes slightly more coast Patagonia was never independent it’s just everybody was too busy setting up their countries to start claiming it if gran Colombia survived it’s just be called Colombia and it would be a bit of regional power the Panama Canal wouldn’t have been built but the Nicaraguan one would if Argentina won the Falkland wars then I guess it has two rocky useless islands If Brazil started expanding into neighbors it would ultimately fail because everybody else wouldn’t speak Portuguese and have different colonial history and culture so they would revolt
He would probably escape to Mexico, wouldn't he?
@@lordeveigar Nope they were rebelling at that time
@@kingced741 If you're talking about Gran Colombia keeping Panama, yes, they could, Panama was a little abandoned by the Colombian goverment but mostly by the Conservative Party of Colombia, by the time the US was interested on building a canal, there were disputes between Liberals and Conservatives about the topic, with the Liberals being in favor to be Open with the foreing powers and let them build the Canal, (Plus, the Liberal Parties in Colombia and Venezuela kinda liked Federalist ideals) and if Gran Colombia wanted to survive, the goverment would have needed to stick with the Liberals in order to keep Venezuela and Ecuador content with their autonomy. Also, high commands of the region were powerhungry, so those countries were mostly unstable during that period, and keeping Gran Colombia alive would have required to put an end to those disputes. (Probably with a strong and numerous army that could be loyal to the state and some sort of temporary dictatorship just like Venezuelan president Juan Vicente Gomez did from 1909 to 1935, ending the warlord era in Venezuela)
"As a" 💀
Can you do a "What if the league of 3 emperors survived ?"
WW1 would be incredibly different if it endured.
There wouldn’t be a ww1
@@crsmith6226 With French revanchism, the anglo-russian rivalry in central asia, the russo-japanese rivalry in east asia, italian irredentism, or obviously the balkans, I think a world war was inevitable but the alliances weren't and that's why I proposed it.
well i guess the league would dominate easily, so maybe not so interesting
That’s an amazing scenario!
@@bloxycola4496 Well, on one hand, germany isn't in a 2 front war, but on the other hand they still have shit allies.
Plus the american might intervene sooner since the us were distruful of both Russia and Germany. If a non-Wilson president takes charge, the US might be far more useful in WW1.
And Japan would probably still be on the side of the entente, if Germany wasn't in a 2 front war, Russia would be.
Again a incredibly different yet interesting WW1.
I’ve actually been wondering this for a while. As a suggestion for a future video “What if all English speaking American colonies, all Spanish Speaking American colonies, and all French speaking American were able to unite into three countries?”. Perhaps a bit convoluted, but I think it would be interesting.
US gets a mega buff
Fascinating idea!
Love the madness of this idea, will play around with it a bit, probably turn it into an extra video
@@possiblehistory glad to hear it! I’ll be looking forward to see what you come up then!
@@possiblehistory Interesting.
Paraguay went to war with Argentina because they wanted to move troops through Argentina to get to Uruguay and Argentina didn’t want bad relations with Brazil so it declined but Paraguay still moved troops through Argentina leading to war this war was also a continuation of the Uruguayan Civil War and happened because Uruguay wanted to help its ally
Los que no quería tener malas relaciones con Brasil eran Bartolomé Mitre, los unitarios, Venancio Flores y el Partido Colorado uruguayo. Las provincias del interior de Argentina no querían la guerra con Paraguay y fueron auxiliados por el federal Felipe Varela.
Soy argentino.
Great comment, I finally found someone who understands about this war.
No, en realidad Argentina no quería que Paraguay vaya a ayudar a los blancos uruguayos porque Mitre simpatizaba con los colorados, que eran aliados de los invasores brasileños. No porque "Argentina no quería problemas con Brasil", sino porque Argentina apoyaba los intereses brasileños directamente, convirtiéndose por este hecho en enemigo del Paraguay y del partido blanco uruguayo.
@@capitanbado7692 De hecho, y como se puede saber gracias a la historia argentina, Argentina recién estaba empezando a salir de las guerras civiles que duraron más de cinco décadas, hasta seguían existiendo insurgencias federales después de la desaparición de la Confederación Argentina. Para Argentina lo importante era terminar con las insurrecciones, de ahí que no quisiera entrar en conflicto ni con Paraguay, ni con el Imperio del Brasil ni con Uruguay, solo se limitó a tratar de controlar los levantamientos, cosa que cambió cuando Paraguay atacó Corrientes, después de ese ataque Argentina, Imperio del Brasil y Uruguay firman el Tratado de la Triple Alianza y ahí empieza la etapa de Argentina en la guerra. Esta participación duró años pero como sabemos, Argentina fue el primer país en irse, justamente porque inició un gran levantamiento federal en el interior del país. Debido a esto, Argentina tuvo que dejar la guerra directamente no sin antes dejar soldados y centrarse en el levantamiento federal, levantamiento el cual fue reprimido
@@megustaelmate5499 Durante las guerras civiles, Mitre tenía bajo su mando al general uruguayo Venancio Flores que se exilió en Buenos Aires, él y otros miembros del partido colorado uruguayo huyeron de su país natal luego de la rebelión de los conservadores colorados, formaron parte del ejército porteño y Flores tuvo una destacada actuación en la batalla de Pavón de 1861. Flores aprovechó este prestigio y respeto logrado para poder conseguir el apoyo de Mitre en su causa de volver al Uruguay y derrocar al partido blanco que estaba en el poder, el cual pudo conseguir ya que Flores volvió al Uruguay con varios navíos, armas y voluntarios argentinos, además de financiamiento monetario claro. Este apoyo del gobierno argentino a la causa de Venancio Flores se realizó de forma secreta, con intermediarios, porque Mitre sabía que el partido blanco tenía excelentes relaciones con el gobierno paraguayo y cualquier intento de desestabilizarlo sería tomado como un acto de guerra total para López y el partido blanco uruguayo.

Because of the Butterfly effect due to a lack of immigration to that part of the world. Lionel Messi's ancestors move to the United States instead, where he becomes a baseball player and spending much of his career with the Boston Red Sox's and recently transfering to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Edit: He recently signed the Real Madrid Baseball in a newly formed European Major League baseball.
Dear God.
I also could see his ancestors immigrating to Quebec and becoming the next Wayne Gretzky.
Solano Lopez really trusted that the Federal Party would join him in Argentina (Argentina was an unstable country and the Unitarians had recently seized power through a civil war)The federals always saw the paraguay war in a very bad way and were anti-Brazil, while the unitarios only wanted to avoid more wars and gain territory from the indigenous.Some provinces rebelled but not with such force and too late, the federals saw Paraguay as another decentralized Argentine province and viewed the unitary government's war as collaborating with an invader. the federals did not have much confidence in lopez since before he had feared a small war against the province of corrientes for missions and he was willing to collaborate with brazil in the guerra grande against the confederation. but if lopez managed to get the feds to take power, they would not hesitate to support him in a war against brazil and support the white government of uruguay. If the Brazilian naval supremacy in the rivers anyway, a Paraguayan victory against Brazil would be very difficult. also keep in mind that solano lopez was not so crazy at the beginning of the conflict, he wanted free navigation of the rivers rather than an outlet to the sea and he really believed that if no one stopped brazil it could annex uruguay and even later seize all the la plata basin. In this scenario, Paraguay would achieve, just like Argentina after the real war, victories in terms of the disputed territories of missions and the Chaco, Brazil would lose the egemony over the cuenca del plata, perhaps also with small victories in disputed territories and would have an ally or puppet government of Uruguay

As an Argentinian I find this the most accurate comment in this whole video.
Como argentino encuentro este el comentario más realista de todo el video.
If you are interested in a timeline similar to this but with a secured Paraguayan Victory and maybe an industrial expansion in south america, think about a Federal argentina after the Battle of Pavon helping Paraguay against Brazil.
Si te interesa una linea de tiempo similar a esta pero con una victoria paraguaya asegurada y quizás una expansión industrial en sudamerica, imaginá una argentina federal tras la batalla de Pavón ayudando a Paraguay contra Brasil.

I've always been very interested in Paraguay! Very beautiful country ❤
Great video! Although I don't see Brasil annexing Uruguay, since it would inevitably lead to conflict with Argentina, even if it's annexed by Paraguay, after a victory it's independence would be restored.
Wrong, Argentina would also annex Paraguay, they would divide Paraguay's territory between them.
Here's an alternate history scenario I've been interested in for a while, what would happen if Mexico won the Mexican-American war? Would Mexico simply leave the US alone to exist without access to the Pacific or would it take the Louisiana purchase and become the new North American power while the US stayed a relatively weak agricultural society?
Mexico was barely able to hold control over the north of the country as it was, so all they would take is the now majority white Texas. The US would focus on Oregon instead of California until the French came and established their puppet government, and the US would probably just take New Mexico then.
The US simply had a better base to stand on. Mexican hegemony was never going to happen.
Victoria 2 moment approved
This is simply impossible
@@waltercommunitycollege1615 In alternate history nothing is impossible! Obviously there has to be significant changes to the Mexican Army and Military, on top of Santa Anna's shitty leadership, so a alt. hist. has to go back and make Mexico more stable and efficient (perhaps with a surviving federal constitution) from its independence rather than a bloody civil war, execution of the most important independence leaders, then a crap dictatorship that resulting in more rebellions and independent states that survived for decades + Texas.
A fundamental change to make a stable independent Mexico would be a much bigger threat to the US.
@@waltercommunitycollege1615 only chance is Mexico being stronger more British funding and an unenthusiastic American populace I could see Mexico wining
Funnily enough, if Brazil lost the war, the monarchy would probably be strenghtened in the following two decades, since the army grew greatly in political relevance following the victory in Paraguay, and was pretty much the breeding ground of republicanism in the country, which would lead to the coup in 1889. However, unrest among slaves would still prove an issue, since freedom was offered in exchange for service, and probably slaveowners would try to keep hold of their workforce even harder in a scenario of defeat. Maybe abolition would happen sooner, at a point when landowners hadn't yet been swayed by republicanism under the illusion that the new regime would pay reparations to slaveowners, or even reinstate slavery. To be honest, the monarchy could still very well fall to other reasons, such as the lack of popular representation in politics, or just general poverty and underdevelopment.
You always put out banger videos
Awesome video. I've only recently found your content and it is truly a breathe of fresh air. As a suggestion for a future video could you look into what if the Monroe doctrine failed/never existed?
really liked your videos, watched about 10 now. you just gained a subscriber
Love your videos, man. Do you think you can delve into more of these tiny wars in Latin America or Africa? As in the other faction winning it or having no war at all. Keep up the good work!
Thank you I love this video so much
Very good video! Like how you went into detail about the future of Paraguay and was pretty realistic. One thing I would add is a possible alliance between Bolivia and Paraguay as if the war between chile and Argentina vs Bolivia occurs, the latter could desire revenge and reclaim lands. Besides that, great video with good maps and monologue.
The war between Chile and Bolivia was the Guerra del Pacifico, which also included Peru in Bolivia's side.
Argentina fought Bolivia alone in another war.
Actually something more interesting would be a Paraguay-Chile Alliance.
@@moontworks2232 if i'm not wrong the only war Argentina fought with Bolivia was during the Peru-Bolivian confederacy and in that war Chile was also against the confederacy
As a paraguayan thank you for the video!
I really enjoyed the video.
Paraguay world superpower!
An interesting concept I'd like to see your take on would be: What if a meteor shower wiped out much of the northern hemisphere in 1900? This is based on the world of the 'Peshawar Lancers' book series which I'm not sure whether you've heard of. The book itself is a bit too British-centric, so I'd like to see your own more realistic view on how events would transpire should such an event occur.
Francisco solano lopez's father was actually way more diplomatic than he was so the possibility of his own heir being diplomatic is still there.
Francisco S. Lopez had, indeed, the role of diplomat on several occasions during his father's presidency. One of his most important acts was negotiation of peace between the Argentine federation and Buenos Aires (they went on a civil war where Buenos Aires decleared independence) and the recognition of Paraguay in Europe. Francisco also tried to intervine diplomaticly between the Uruguayan civil war, but Brasil didnt let him. During the war he tried many time to negotiate peace with the allied powers, the most important, the interview of Yataity Cora in 1866, with Argentine president Mitre. But Brasil didint want to negotiate and wanted to fulfill the treaty of the triple alliance, so brasil forbade his allies to ever negotiate independetly with Paraguay.

Francisco Solano López fue partidario de los federales en los últimos años de la Confederación Argentina, y durante la guerra de la Triple Alianza de hecho, hubo levantamientos federales en las provincias del interior de Argentina a favor de Paraguay y en contra de la guerra. También fue partidario del Partido Blanco uruguayo, aliados históricos de los federales.
The meme of "Paraguay doesn't exist" would be insignificant
"Para gobernar a la República Argentina vencida, sometida, enemiga, la alianza del Brasil era una parte especial de la organización Mitre-Sarmiento; para dar a esa alianza de gobierno interior un pretexto internacional, la guerra al Estado Oriental y al Paraguay, viene a ser una necesidad de politíca interior; para justificar una guerra al mejor gobierno que haya tenido el Paraguay, era necesario encontrar abominable y monstruosos esos dos gobiernos; y López y Berro han sido víctimas de la lógica del crimen de sus adversarios".
Juan Bautista Alberdi acerca de Caseros y la politíca posterior.
Love the video
good video, but actually paraguay was not a industrializing state, it was a backwater dictatorship, that stuck almost 40 years isolated, and it's main export was yerba mate, a culture that brazil had surpassed paraguay in both numbers and tecnology. the paraguayan army was big, but not modern, most of their soldiers didn't have shoes, most of their weapons were from the napoleonic wars, and they didn't have a chain of command, with all the orders being personally given by solano lopez

Great video
5:03 Fun fact: Brasil expend 10 times their yearly input, this was mostly thanks to the burocracy made by the king. Really a chad.
10:18 I don't think Paraguay would chose the Central powers since they knew it would be suicide at long run. Actually I find that it would be more likely that Paraguay would try to have a good military so that Brazil and Argentina would think twice before invading. WW1 would still happened anway, in a good scenario for Paraguay (had good leaders and people, good democratization and some luck. They almost pulled a victory against Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay so we can expect a continuation of good people that ensured the benefits of Paraguay, if they had a crisis, then the whole Latin America would have as well so not to worry about it) they could play the game of waiting, until 1917 when the US jointed the war, picked the Entente as well and done, Brazil and Argentina couldn't have any reason to go to war against Paraguay without pissing off the US, the Britain and the French. Then modernizing as quick as possible after the war and tried becoming a good friend to the US. When/if the The Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay happened in the Interwar, knocked Bolivia as fast as possible so that Brazil and Argentina couldn't take the chance to attack (and frankly they wouldn't really have a good chance, since they would be busy at the failing economy). When WW2 happened, pick the Allies when the US joined the war. Still a good friend with the US and tried not to have rebellions with large scale like the rest of Latin America (well, having the US backed and a much more robust nation built up unlike other Latin America could make this easier to achieve) After that you would have the much stronger and much more stable Paraguay and it could be the ideal Latin American nation that could potentially become a 1st world nation today.
The Chaco war would have been probably like the Austro-Prusian War here, since even in real history Paraguay was successful considering the lower population and economy in comparation to Bolivia.
Good video as always, just a slight correction the flag you use for Argentina is the confederacy flag, this is wrong because the unitarios (Aka the liberal centralist party) won the political conflict in Argentina and dissolved the confedarition, changing the flag to the good old light blue and white with the yellow sun, if you want to know more about the civil wars that argentina had during this period I recommend you read about Artigas and other unitarios like Mitre or Sarmiento, that were the presidents during the praguayan war that you mentioned in the video.
A lot of stuff is wrong. Any border north of argentina is completely wrong for the time periods shown for example
Argentinian here, Paraguay declared war on us because we didnt allowed for them to cross our land and fight in the uruguayan civil war(Basically Solano believed it was a "now or never" kinda moment) much of the initials gains are simply because both nations didnt actually considered war with paraguay a reality, most of our army was doing border control in the south against the natives, and the brazilians had a small garrison in the mato grosso.
I dont see paraguayans ever winning in this scenario, the declaration of war made it so the whole of our country made two things it didnt really wanted to at the moment, wage a costly war and alling itself with brazil. I believe a far more interesting scenario is asking what if Solano didnt declare war on three nations at the same time, i dont see argentina joining a offensive brasilian war against paraguay, we would surely would like to exploit both brasilian and paraguayan weakness from the war without being in it, and our country interior would resist far greatly that it already did in OTL any intervention against paraguay for a lot of reason(brasilian enemy, political alignment of the locals with paraguay, despise of the central goverment, its taxes and conscription, also most of our army was small and guarding the south against natives), without argentina in the war, the brazilian campaing becomes far harder mostly on the grounds of logistics
maintaining argentina's semi neutrality(we supported the side of the uruguayan civil war which the paraguayan war against) or just making it so argentina had to wage an offensive war from the beggining could have gave to the paraguayans far more advantages than that of a failed offensive through our north filled with errors and mistakes. And i think is possible, the war was not popular, nor the government, and we always saw brazilians as our enemies at the same time most of the north saw paraguayans as brothers

Nice video
What if Frederick III of Prussia/Germany didn’t smoke?
He lived 99 days into his emperorship, yet he was a beloved ruler by his people, he kept up with Bismarck as opposed to his son, he was married to one of Queen Victoria’s daughters, and he spent much time in England before his reign. Say he lived for another 30-40 years, since he died at 56, he could of changed the landscape of Germany and the world. A few possible ideas-
- Germany keeps good relations with Britain, never building up that sweet sweet navy that Wilhelm loved so much
- Germany doesn’t take as much in the pacific, seeking to not upset the Japanese or other great powers
- Germany keeps everyone at Arm’s length with the French as Bismarck wanted
- Germany starts to liberalize and create institutions that could have checks and balances
- The Agadir crisis never takes place and Germany isn’t seen as an aggressive superpower
- WW1 never happens or a bunch of smaller more localized wars take place instead
- Maybe one of his other kids takes the throne instead of Wilhelm? Wilhelm and Frederick didn’t get along and I can’t see that changing even if Frederick’s reign is successful. I could see a dynastic crisis coming up from this.
There’s a mod for HOI4 being built around this, and I’ve always loved the idea of such a timeline, but not many UA-camrs have covered it before. Would love to see this one (:

Do you have a source for the claim that Paraguay was an industrializing nation before the war?, i heard it many times but never saw any actual source for that.

good job
Very original prompt!
I am intrigued.
I have an idea for an April fools video. “What if Brian Griffin gave assault rifles to Native Americans?”
In the beginning of the episode where Brian dies in Family Guy. He had given modern assault rifles to the native Americans outside Jamestown.
It would be very fun to watch indeed and probably fun to make.
Just some corrections
1 Paraguay was not even close from being industrializing and was even more rural than the neighbors, it was the poorest and less urban of the three by a wide margin and the economy was almost exclusive based on tea exports and subsistence farming
2 The Paraguayan army was not technologicaly more advanced than the brazilian or Argentinean one, they had recently bought modern rifles but less than a tenth of the army was armed with them
They lacked in artillery and most soldiers used outdated flintlocks and garrunchas, solano lopez suposedly tried to make reforms in the structure but they were unsuccessful
3The reason why the river control was important was not because of external trade, independent of naval auperiority, la triplice alianza controlled both sides of the la plata estuary and brazil had a see going fleet big enough to block paraguay even if they had won
The reason is because paraguay is, with the other theatres of the war, the greatest inundated superficie in the planet, ao in the raining season is impossible to move supply, troops or even information
Thats why humaita was the greatest battle of the war, not tuiuti
And the greatest advantage of paraguay was, beyond its unity, the adaptations to the swamp environment
4Despite that paraguay HAD A GOOD CHANCE and could had made a bet for the south of brazil
The point is that brazil, argentina and uruguay were more like a coalition of big landowners and their areas of influence than countries, they spent the last century at war with each other, and most important, with themselves, buenos aires did not control the best army in the country, the professional army was recently destroyed in a war with brasil and scatered into semi feudal states, if corrientes, santa cruz and entre rios decided that paraguay was a better option, they could muster more soldiers and cash than buenos aires, they had defeated the argentinean army before
The point was just that paraguay did not presented a better option
And brazil, the center west, where paraguay invaded, was considered inconsequential and was mostly uninhabited, sending troops from bahia or rio to mato grosso would be unthinkable if not trough argentina
And the south, less than 20 years before the south of brasil was independent, having defeated the brazilian army for more than a decade
This modern army of the south was not deffeated, just incorporated into the main brasilian army with many of the heroes of the paraguayan war, beeing veterans against brazil.
Brazil, the south of brazil, los blancos uruguayos, los colorados uruguayos, entre rios, buenos aires, corrientes, the caudilios, were all sides that spent the last century fighting against each other, all paraguay needed to do was make one fight aginst the other again
And that was what he was hopping
But the timing was bad, the civil war in uruguay who was suposed to last years took only a month, and the angentinean rebels decided to make a coalition against paraguay
But the result would probably be paraguay having some puppets for a few years and them brazil and argentina suporting them to become independent or interviening in the chaco wars
At most argentina would break up
And maybe parts of brazil too
But not many different borders or results
*Paraguay:* Yeah that was a crazy dream
In this map you have to take in account that argentina would likely dissapear and desintegrate in multiple provinces because, just by losing the Battle of Curupayty that sparked the civil war they had, imagine if they lost the war, Argentina would be destroyed economically and desintegrated, also, obviously Paraguay would take modern today Formosa province which was in dispute in the real war; and maybe some more provinces, with the power held and Bolivia losing the pacific war, Paraguay would totally dominate the Chaco Region and expand more than what it has now in its modern borders, Brazil would have to respect Paraguay and with the war lost there would always be instability and economic crisis, having the advantage of defeating Argentina and now an open via to the atlantic Paraguay would certainly be a stronger match than what it was for Brazil, Paraguay would pass to be a regional power at least up til WWII
Paraguay fortalecería su alianza con el Partido Blanco uruguayo y los federales argentinos.

What if Bolivia never lost a war? How about that suggestion? I'm interested in your thoughts and analysis on that. Hope you make a video about it. Thank you.
Ohhh that 19th century Latin America map is horrible! You missed a lot of changes on Brazil's borders for instance...

I didn’t even need to ask for “What if we lived in a better world”
We need more alternate histories for America
Secret transcription of a high-level Paraguayan meeting: "Damas and caballeros, our main problem is low population. Our national policy must therefore be constant boffing! Spread the word! Paraguay is now the most licentious nation on Earth. That otta bring in some settlers too, namsain?"
Excellent vídeo.
Small correction, Paraguay didn't have an industrialized economy, the only thing they had maintaining their economy at that time was the export of tea, mostly to England, they had some small investment made by British business man in the country around those tea farms, to the point that when the war started Britain closed it's diplomatic ties with Brazil for a very short period until they realized what was happening in the region.
This is not true.
Paraguay had industries not only for the civilian economy, but for armament also. That being the main reason for it's military superiority
@@moontworks2232 That's not true at all, Paraguay's biggest export at the time was tea for England, Solano Lopes tried to industrialize the country with cheap credit and the import of machinery but it didn't result in much success.
Paraguay would only start a serious process of industrialization in the 20th century.
What if Brazil was a Dutch Colony instead of A Portuguese.
The northeast was a Dutch colony, until Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen left and then the people revolted and helped the Portuguese. It would be a big Suriname.
It would be a shithole with a few dutch buildings and a jewish aristocracy. Literally Recife

Border conflicts for ya. It's like how a public map of 1940's Europe is just 1936's Europe.
The biggest problem about war in south america was always the Amazon rainforest.
Its literally impossible to have a decent logistic in such harsh conditions, so as consequence wars are localized to small scale theaters. Rarely able to escalate in such scale like in Europe or North America or even as Asian scales.
But that doesnt mean that war can not happen. Its just more constricted, not less violent or important.
Point of interests assumes a more significant role in these conditions and any war efforts have more deeply meanings and importance and consequences.
So it means that we cant underestimate wars in South America just because they looks small and contained.
Its a false feeling. Althought for now, ars in South America had limited consequences over the world due to the fact that South America was under developing. But it will be different in future, when South America will have more relevance on international scenary.
By the way, I put the 3k like over this video. 👍
yeah there is something, i remember when i learned a bit about triple aliance, if paraguay won without loosing territory, population and got that destroyed like in this video, would colombia and paraguay have same friendship as now? since colombia helped paraguay in that time and made a theme between both countries, as a colombian learning history i just wonder that kinda hard now, since seems like paraguay would still have conflict between it's neighbors, and would literally get like... really small, that's my wondering
As a Paraguayan, I approve this message
Yes kp
@@chipaguasustudios In espanish plis XD
The only way Paraguay could ever had a chance of winning this war was by kept the rivers opened for navigation at all costs, because that was the only way it could have access to the Atlantic Ocean and thus trade with the rest of the world. When Brazil achieved naval supremacy, it was all over for them. The reason the war went on for so long was because of lack of information about the terrain (there was almost no maps about that place because of how sparse and isolated Paraguay was at the time), lack of trust by the argentine and brazilian's high command (they do not trusted each others intentions even though they were allies at that war), logistics, diseases and the fact that Paraguay now was at the defensive so it was way more easier for them because they had proper knowledge about their own territory
Even when I disagree, I enjoy the frank and unambiguous approach to hypotheticals.
Ok so i found an error paraguay dont was industrializing itself he was also an agriculture based country but was the strongest on south america
(Sorry for bad english)
Paraguay's leadership had Japan'd itself and closed out all outside imports, etc. This forced them to industrialize BUT also prevented outside rich countries from exploiting their country with their wealth before their poorer people could. They industrialized rapidly by learning how to make the goods that other countries were wasting ALL their money on importing. And there was much stronger USA UK etc influence AGAINST Paraguay than their simple "dislike". They pushed Argentina etc and gave support to PAraguay's enemies. If Paraguay had their way, they would not have gone to war, but rather they would have focused on rapid industrialization. They were doing what was best for their country, and their people. And that was a dangerous idea when United Fruit, etc, was toppling countries like dominoes under their countrol.
Paraguay was never that industrialized and very dependent on British imports, if this war never happened, then they would be able to start a industrialization, but all was lost in 1864.
I think you're underestimating how fast populations can grow when they have little in the way of resource constraints and there's a vital need to breed. After the black death and various anti-jewish purges in the HRE, the ashkenazi population grew from 350 to 30,000 in 150 years. using that population growth rate, Paraguay's population probably could've grown by a factor of around 3.3 between 1870 and 1910, before WWI, and that population would have a LOT of young 20s men for fighting wars with.
Testing this rate in modern states to see that it's viable, you can see that Brazil grew at about this rate before 1990, so it's viable in Latin America to grow at that pace. Meanwhile, in this alternative timeline, Argentina and Brazil would be resource constrained from losing prime agricultural land and accommodating war refugees from their former territory. Paraguay would have a population of roughly 1.3 million. Brazil and Argentina's population (assuming they grow at the same rate they did in our timeline, not even factoring in hypothesized resource constraints) would be 22 times larger than Paraguay's, this sounds impressive until you realize that this factor was 26 at the start of the Paraguay war. Far from long term trends favoring Brazil and Argentina, it's possible Paraguay would retain or even grow their relative level of power assuming they keep the same technological and institutional edge over their neighbors.

Because of Paraguay's insanely high casualty rate, eople overlook how gruesome this war was for other countries as well.
The country that lost the most people in this was wasn't Paraguay. It was Brazil. Brazil lost somewhere around 200,000-350,000 people largely due to the famines and diseases caused by the war. Which would mean Brazil lost 2-5% of its population.
Argentina, proportionately suffered the least and it was catastrophic as well. The lower estimate of Argentian losses are 12,000 but higher estimated are 45,000 dead. That is 0.6% - 3% of the population dead.
Uruguay definitely suffered the second worst in this war. They had a very tiny population. There losses are 8,000-15,000 deaths. Which would be 3.2% - 10% of its population dead. Not to mention Uruguay was already recovering from its own civil war.
Can you do a scenario where Austria-Hungary was restored in some way after WW2? I read that Otto von Habsburg had obtained Winston Churchill’s permission for a Danubian state, but that Stalin crushed any hopes of it being achieved.

On the map, there is a dot inside Brasil that made me think, my monitor has a bad pixel 😅
Just one thing, why would Brazil surrender? As you said, if the Empire wanted it, it could have brute forced its way into Paraguay, debt was not a problem, and Brazil did have the capabilities to rebuild its fleet. In our world the reason Paraguay lost 70%+ of its population was that Brazil wanted to kill Solano Lopez getting revenge for the early massacres perpetrated by the Paraguayan army in the frontier reason, not matter how bad the human cost got for both sides the Empire kept pushing on not stopping because of its losses nor the complete annihilation the paraguayan people. If what motivates Brazil is getting revenge, it has the support of the world superpower ( Brittain) and economically wise maintaining the war indefinitely is not only possible but also desirable ( Brazil whole foreign policy during the 19th century consisted of ensuring safe passage through the Platine River basin, that's why Uruguay is a nation instead of an argentine province) why would Brazil sue for peace? The only outcome for Paraguay was total defeat. They sealed their fate when they invaded without warning and spilled our blood on our soil. All they did during the war was to delay the inevitable reckoning.

There is a nation in the vic3 of a mod, which is basically all of Hispanic America in one country, called Gran Colombia, a video about that would be interesting, the Territory starts from Mexico and ends in argentina being too big
Its too stupid. The name and history of that mod country.
Paraguay started well because troops took time to get there and they were the only ones mobilized to fight there.
So it’s basically “What If Paraguay Won the War of the Triple Alliance”.
I want to continue this scenario as a what if History went perfect for Paraguay, at least in some way. I think it would be possible to have the dictator of Paraguay come to the realization that his position is untenable like that and that liberalization would need to be undertaken as there are two far larger powers that want their land back, Paraguay could potentially renounce its claims on Bolivian territory to get the Bolivians neutral but I think that's about it. If they can modernize with limited democracy but obviously not full democracy as the dictator wouldn't give up power. But if we could get Paraguay onto the track of democracy past the dictators lifetime than they should be able to integrate Uruguay with promises of equal treatment they should be able to keep conquests with outside help but taking more is out of the question without the removal of the dictator
Nice
Since at that time, the cultural differences between Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina were none, I think for Paraguay to really win, it would mean a puppet government also in Argentina.
Eventually railing up all Platinean states against Brazil.
In a more total victory, we could see, eventually, puppet states of Paraguay in Southern Brazil (Río Grande, Santa Catarina) and Uruguay getting back the Misiones Orientales.
And all of these states (minus the Brazilian ones) could se some sort of unification if Solano López is willing to give up some power.
So the Paraguayan War would meant the creation of a bigger Argentina, more federal and more opposed to Brazil.
Sarmiento itslef had the idea of Unification with Paraguay and Uruguay, so if Solano López does not do an extermination of the opposition, the liberals could have had a place in the political system.
That is not possible. Argentina was barely unified in that time period. A cup influenced by Paraguay in Aargentina would only mean more caudillos and inestability. Probably another Buenos Aires secession.
