THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. •WITH A HISTOEICAL SKETCH OF THE COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE AND NOTES UPON THE MILITARY ENGINEEKING OF THE WAR. BY GEOEGE THOMPSON, CE. MEUTENANT-COr.ONEL OF KNGINEEItS IN THE rAItAGUAYAN ABMV, AIDE-DE CAMP TO PRESIDENT LOPEZ, KNIGHT OF THJI OBDER OF MEMT OF PARAGUAY, ETC. WITH MAPS, PLANS, AND A PORTRAIT OF LOPEZ. LONDON: LONGMANS, GREEN, AND CO. 1869. PREFACE, THE contradictory views of the conduct and character of President Lopez, taken by those who have felt an interest in the struggle between the Paraguayans and the Allied Powers opposed to them, have led me to think that a short work, written by one who has resided eleven years in Para­ guay, might not be unacceptable. Having been engaged in the defence of the country, I am enabled to give au- thentic information on the subject. As will be seen from the following narrative, I consider Lopez to be a monster without a parallel, but I did not discover his character before the latter end of 1868. Ali his outrages at the commencement of the war I only heard by vague rumours. His manner, however, was such as entirely to dispel and throw discredit on any whispers which might be uttered against him. Latterly, however, I have received overwhelming corroborations of what I have stated against him in the early part of the book. The mode in which President Lopez began the war on the Argentines was outrageous, but with Brazil war was apparently unavoidable; and had he not commenced the war when he did, Brazil would have taken Paraguay at a disadvantage. My pcrsonal motives for taking a part in the war were not, however, so much political as physical. I wanted VI PREFACE. change of air, and I was glad of the opportunity of joining what then promised to be only a military promenade over several hundred miles. Interested motives I had none, for I received no augmentation of salary; and when the Secret Treaty was published, it gave me a further zest to fight for Paraguay, as I believed, from the terms of the Pro- tocol, that she must either fight or be absorbed. It was not my intention to have written the following account of the war until President Lopez should have been deposed by the Allies. They appear, however, to be in no way anxious to put an end to the fearful sacri- fice of life which has been going on in Paraguay for four years and a half; and, considering that the following nar- rative might have some effect towards urging them to conclude the war, and thus save the lives of the women and children in Paraguay, who must now be dying of mere starvation, I have endeavoured to give an una- dorned statement of facts. Although I can speak of the despot, who has used them for the purposes of his own selfish ambition, only with the greatest horror and aversion, for the Para­ guayans themselves I have the most friendly feelings; and I think I may say that I have done my duty to­ wards them, having, as far as I could, alleviated the misery of the military life of those who were under my orders, and having been able to save many of their lives. For some of the information respecting the Allies, I am indebted to files of the Buenos-Ayrean Standard, Tribuna, and Nación Argentina. LONDON: June 18, 1869. CONTENTS CHAPTER I.

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY CHAPTER L GENERAL NOTICE OF THE BELLIGERENT POWERS, AND SKETCH OF THE HISTORY OF PARAGUAY UP TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE WAR. PARAGUAY*, the Argentine Confederation, the Banda Oriental, and Brazil, are four States in South America, which, from their topographical position, are obliged to hold a certain amount of intercourse, which each of them would gladly dispense with, as their inhabitaDts cordially dislike each other. The first three are peopled by a mixture of Spaniards with the aboriginal races, and the fourth by a mixture of Portuguese with the same, and with negrões. Brazil has, since she was first colonised by the Portu­ guese, been chiefly engaged in the slave-trade, and in the cultivation by slave-labour of produce for exportation to Europe. She has had no foreign wars, excepting a few skirmishes with her neighbours, always carried on abroad, and a few small and weak revolutions have been quickly put down by a free Government, by bribery, and not by fighting. The number of negrões imported, and the degrading influences to which they have been subjected * Paraguay: Pará, the sea; gua, pertaining to; y (pronounced ü), rivef or water. Literally, ' the river pertaining to the sea.' B 2 THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. as slaves, have lowered the Brazilians (as a race) very far in the scale of humanity. The Argentines and Orientais (as the inhabitants of the Banda Oriental are called) are very similar races— fine men and women—showing very little of the Indian, excepting the Gaúchos and the Correntinos, who have much more Indian than Spanish blood.

  • Country of Women? Repercussions of the Triple Alliance War in Paraguay∗
    Country of Women? Repercussions of the Triple Alliance War in Paraguay∗ Jennifer Alix-Garcia Laura Schechter Felipe Valencia Caicedo Oregon State University UW Madison University of British Columbia S. Jessica Zhu Precision Agriculture for Development April 5, 2021 Abstract Skewed sex ratios often result from episodes of conflict, disease, and migration. Their persistent impacts over a century later, and especially in less-developed regions, remain less understood. The War of the Triple Alliance (1864{1870) in South America killed up to 70% of the Paraguayan male population. According to Paraguayan national lore, the skewed sex ratios resulting from the conflict are the cause of present-day low marriage rates and high rates of out-of-wedlock births. We collate historical and modern data to test this conventional wisdom in the short, medium, and long run. We examine both cross-border and within-country variation in child-rearing, education, labor force participation, and gender norms in Paraguay over a 150 year period. We find that more skewed post-war sex ratios are associated with higher out-of-wedlock births, more female-headed households, better female educational outcomes, higher female labor force participation, and more gender-equal gender norms. The impacts of the war persist into the present, and are seemingly unaffected by variation in economic openness or ties to indigenous culture. Keywords: Conflict, Gender, Illegitimacy, Female Labor Force Participation, Education, History, Persistence, Paraguay, Latin America JEL Classification: D74, I25, J16, J21, N16 ∗First draft May 20, 2020.

  • Tobati : Tradition and Change in a Paraguayan Town
    TOBATI: TRADITION AND CHANGE IN A PARAGUAYAN TOWN BY JAMES ESTON HAY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1993 UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LIBRARIES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was funded by a Fulbright HE Dissertation Fellowship under the U.S. Department of Education, and a Dissertation Fellowship from the Organization of American States. I am most grateful for the support of both institutions in completing the fieldwork necessary for this study. I especially thank Mr. Alan Rogers, United States Information Service in Asuncion, and Sr. Atilio Nieto, special operations officer of the Organization of American States, in the same city, for their personal attention during my stay in Paraguay. During the many years I worked with the Peace Corps and with private business in Paraguay, I made many close friends, met many people, and made contact with many institutions in both the governmental and private sectors. When I returned to Paraguay to embark on the present study, I was grateful that those people were there to greet me and help me in so many ways. I often prevailed upon the kindness and patience of old friends and acquaintances, as much for camaraderie as for assistance in my work. Due to the help of many individuals, I bypassed much of the red tape and bureaucratic "channels" (truly the bane of researchers in Latin American countries) that otherwise would have made life so much more difficult and less pleasurable. I was especially happy to see old friends and colleagues among the Paraguayan staff of the Peace Corps as well as the directors and staff of MONITOR S.A.

  • Vi Brazil As a Latin American Political Unit
    VI BRAZIL AS A LATIN AMERICAN POLITICAL UNIT I. PHASES OF BRAZILIAN HISTORY is almost a truism to say that interest in the history of a I' country is in proportion to the international importance of it as a nation. The dramatic circumstances that might have shaped that history are of no avail to make it worth knowing; the actual or past standing of the country and its people is thus the only practical motive. According to such an interpretation of historical interest, I may say that the international importance of Brazil seems to be growing fast. Since the Great War, many books on South America have been published in the United States, and abundant references to Brazil may be found in all of them. Should I have to mention any of the recent books, I would certainly not forget Herman James's Brazil after a Century,' Jones's South Amer- ica,' for the anthropogeographic point of view, Mary Wil- liams's People and Politics oj Latin Arneri~a,~the books of Roy Nash, J. F. Normano, J. F. Rippy, Max Winkler, and others. Considering Brazil as a South American political entity, it is especially the historical point of view that I purpose to interpret. Therefore it may be convenient to have a pre- liminary general view of the story of independent Brazil, 'See reference, Lecture V, p. 296. IC. F.

  • Nomination Form International Memory of the World Register
    1 Nomination form International Memory of the World Register Antonio Carlos Gomes: composer of two worlds ID[ 2016-73] 1.0 Summary (max 200 words) Antonio Carlos Gomes: composer of two worlds gathers together documents that are accepted, not only by academic institutions, but also because they are mentioned in publications, newspapers, radio and TV programs, by a large part of the populace; this fact reinforces the symbolic value of the collective memory. However, documents produced by the composer, now submitted to the MOW have never before been presented as a homogeneous whole, capable of throwing light on the life and work on this – considered the composer of the Americas – of the greatest international prominence. Carlos Gomes had his works, notably in the operatic field, presented at the best known theatres of Europe and the Americas and with great success, starting with the world première of his third opera – Il Guarany – at the Teatro alla Scala – in Milan on March 18, 1870. From then onwards, he searched for originality in music which, until then, was still dependent and influenced by Italian opera. As a result he projected Brazil in the international music panorama and entered history as the most important non-European opera composer. This documentation then constitutes a source of inestimable value for the study of music of the second half of the XIX Century. 2.0 Nominator 2.1 Name of nominator (person or organization) Arquivo Nacional (AN) - Ministério da Justiça - (Brasil) Escola de Música da Universidade Federal do Rio de

  • Law As the Handmaid of Politics: the Case of Paraguay by Mario Ramos-Reyes, Ph.D
    Law As The Handmaid of Politics: The Case of Paraguay by Mario Ramos-Reyes, Ph.D. Abstract What is the role of law in Latin America? And, what is the role of culture? The recent history of the Republic of Paraguay serves as a useful case study to address these questions. The historical facts are beyond dispute. Paraguay has had three different Constitutions over the past seventy years but one fundamental question remains unresolved. To what extent is a paternalistic-nationalistic form of executive power, ranging from the “inorganic” (Rousseaunian) character to the heavy influence of the “caudillista” style influence the legal system? Professor Ramos-Reyes, an expert in Latin American politics, explores how political needs and cultural aspirations have influenced the shape of the diverse legal forms of the executive power, mainly but not exclusively on the Paraguayan experience since the 1930s. What were the ideas behind the periodic changes of constitutions? Does it follow then that constitutions may be changed for the sake of political expediency to support and legitimize non-democratic values? The current realities of Paraguay in particular and Latin America in general, seem to support the author’s thesis. “What confuses the spirit even more is the use that [people] make of these words: democracy, democratic institutions, democratic government. If we do not define them clearly, and understand these definitions, we will live in a confusion of inextricable ideas, benefiting all demagogues and despots.” Alexis de Tocqueville1 A. Introduction: Problems and Questions On the eve of November 3, 2005, hundreds of supporters of General Alfredo Stroessner, former president of Paraguay, gathered in a central location in the capital Asunción, to celebrate the ninety-third birthday of the dictator exiled to Brazil since his overthrow in 1989.
