    A 150 años de la guerra de la Triple Alianza, Argentina, Brasil y Uruguay deben seguir avergonzados

    Se han cumplido 150 años del asesinato del Mariscal Francisco Solano López (1/3/1870) y con ello del fin de la Guerra de la Triple Alianza. Se trata de aquel vergonzoso conflicto donde Brasil, Uruguay y Argentina coaligaron sus fuerzas, atendiendo a la influencia y “consejos” británicos, para derrotar a las del hermano y amigo pueblo paraguayo.

    Fue el conflicto bélico que provocó la mayor cantidad de muertos entre los países que habían proclamado su independencia política durante las primeras décadas del mismo siglo XIX. La cantidad de muertos de las fuerzas de la “Alianza” rondan los 120 mil pero los paraguayos perdieron entre el 50 y 85% de su población, que superaba el millón de personas al inicio de la misma, en 1865.

    Cabe destacar que aproximadamente el 90% de la población masculina paraguaya murió en esa guerra. Al final de la misma había no menos de 4 mujeres por cada varón. Por lo cual en la cultura y reconstrucción económica de ese país tuvieron un rol central las mujeres.

    En lo más profundo de la cultura paraguaya han quedado instalados para siempre aquellos tiempos. Así por ejemplo, para esa cultura, el Día de la Mujer no se conmemora hoy -8 de marzo- sino el 24 de febrero.

    Así se hace recordando a esa fecha de 1867 cuando más de un millar de mujeres se reunieron, en lo que puede considerarse como una de las primeras “Asamblea de Mujeres” de Nuestra América, lo hicieron para donar sus joyas y bienes personales y constituirse en el “Ejército de Retaguardia” de las fuerzas de su país.

    Algo semejante ocurre con el Día del Niño que se recuerda el 16 de agosto que es aniversario de la batalla de Acosta Ñu donde –en 1869- 3500 jóvenes, casi niños, fueron masacrados por 30 mil soldados brasileños.

    Al momento de iniciarse las acciones bélicas en Paraguay se vivía un fuerte proceso de desarrollo económico social. No había analfabetos, ni latifundios; a pesar de ser un país sin costas marítimas, construían barcazas; habían puesto en funcionamiento el primer ferrocarril de la región; contaban con una amplia línea de telégrafos y habían desarrollado fundiciones de hierro.

    Todo ello en un país sin deuda externa. Esta independencia y despliegue económico podía ser un modelo peligroso para quienes tenían otros planes para la región.

    En lo mencionado encontramos una de las causas de aquella vergonzosa guerra. Otra razón la podemos hallar en lo que estaba pasando en Uruguay. Allí gobernaba el Partido Blanco -por aquel entonces- fuertemente nacionalista y opuesto a los intereses extranjeros, era el único aliado regional de la experiencia paraguaya.

    Su opositor, el Partido Colorado, fue instrumentado por fuerzas imperiales para construir un acuerdo que permitiera acabar con las experiencias de Uruguay y Paraguay. Con la ayuda brasileña fue derrocado el gobierno de los Blancos y el 1° de mayo de 1865 delegados de Brasil y Argentina y los colorados uruguayos firmaron el Pacto Secreto de constitución de la Triple Alianza.

    El intento paraguayo de ir en ayuda de su aliado uruguayo desató el enfrentamiento con Bartolomé Mitre. Sin embargo no faltan los documentos que prueban que ese acuerdo fue gestado un año antes (18 de junio de 1864, Tratado de Puntas del Rosario) entre los gobiernos de Brasil y Argentina -junto a los colorados uruguayos- encabezados por Venancio Flores, que había peleado a los órdenes de Mitre.

    El diplomático británico Edward Thorton, asignado a Buenos Aires y Asunción, fue el gestor del mismo. Respondiendo a esos intereses y los de la oligarquía portuaria de Buenos Aires y el esclavista Brasil se desató ese conflicto que reconfiguró el mapa del sur de la región y arrasó con la inédita experiencia paraguaya.

    A pesar que en el Pacto Secreto se había establecido que Mitre sería el Jefe de las fuerzas aliadas, tal función recayó -en términos reales- en el brasileño Duque de Caxias, quien instruyó a sus generales diciendo: “Maten a todo ser viviente, hasta el feto dentro del útero de las madres”.

    De este modo fue borrado de la faz de la tierra el primer intento estatal por construir un país que, además de la independencia política, luchara y construyera su soberanía nacional en materia económica. Los intereses portuarios arrastraron a una parte de los hijos de esta tierra a morir por una causa injusta.

    La mayor parte de los caudillos federales se negaron a esa guerra, particularmente Ricardo López Jordán en Entre Ríos y Felipe Varela en Cuyo le marcaron a Mitre y Justo José de Urquiza que Paraguay no era nuestro enemigo y negaron su apoyo.

    Fue por ello que muchos de los reclutados, llamados “voluntarios”, marcharon engrillados hacia un destino trágico e inicuo.

    The Allied troops met the rearguard of the Paraguayan forces at Acosta Ñu on August 16. The battle started at 0800. Acosta Ñu (which means "Acosta's Field", "Acosta" being a popular last name) is a vast plain of roughly 12 km2 (4.6 sq mi), ideal for the Brazilian cavalry. The initial charge was led by the Allied 1st Corps infantry, supported by artillery. As the Paraguayans retreated across the Yagari River, the 4th Cavalry Brigade made a right flanking movement. Meanwhile, the 2nd Corps reached the Paraguayan rear, which left them no means to retreat. Children were said to cling to the legs of Brazilian soldiers amidst the raging battle, pleading for mercy, only to be decapitated without hesitation. Once all flanks collapsed, the wounded children tried to flee the battlefield alongside their relatives. Yet the Brazilian commander ordered his cavalry to cut the retreat and set the battlefield ablaze, including the field hospital. Large numbers of children died because of these actions.[1]:104 [4]

    Because they were governed by their shitty élites, who were the worst of each society.
    Triple Alianza was a huge mistake, not only since paraguayan folk was be a brother folk but just because Francisco Solano was an excellent leader.
    Some years after not only Paraguay would be a powerful country but also the rest of the "neightbourhood".
    Triple Alianza was probably the biggest mistake in two centuries of history after the independences.
    It's really a shame to us.

    I forgot to say something, here in São Paulo we were already similar to Paraguay in that sense, until the 18th century the people of São Paulo spoke Portuguese and Tupi-Guarani, something that was also a legacy of the Jesuits of São Paulo, but with the measures of the Marquis of Pombal and the government of Portugal against the Jesuits of Brazil, Tupi-Guarani was banned in Brazil, and only Portuguese was used by the population over time this language was extinct. And it was the same thing as Paraguay, the language was used by everyone, whether indigenous, white, mixed, etc. As the indigenous people of São Paulo were related to the indigenous people of Paraguay, I believe that these languages are very similar.

    I was reading about Paraguayan President Francisco Solano .The triple war alliance started because Paraguayan president Francisco Solano wanted to defend Uruguay from Brazilian intervention . Is that correct?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franci...ano_L%C3%B3pez


    In 1863, the Empire of Brazil—which did not have friendly relations with Paraguay—began providing military and political support to an incipient rebellion in Uruguay led by Venancio Flores and his Colorado Party against the Blanco Party government of Bernardo Berro and his successor, Atanasio Aguirre.[14] The besieged Uruguayans repeatedly asked for military assistance from their Paraguayan allies against the Brazilian-backed rebels. López manifested his support for Aguirre's government via a letter to Brazil, in which he said that any occupation of Uruguayan lands by Brazil would be considered as an attack on Paraguay.[14]



    When Brazil did not heed the letter and invaded Uruguay on 12 October 1864, López seized the Brazilian merchant steamer Marqués de Olinda in the harbor of Asunción,[15] and imprisoned the Brazilian governor of the province of Mato Grosso, who was on board. In the following month (December 1864) Lopez formally declared war on Brazil and dispatched a force to invade Mato Grosso. The force seized and sacked the town of Corumbá and took possession of the province and its diamond mines, together with an immense quantity of arms and ammunition, including enough gunpowder to last the whole Paraguayan Army for at least a year of active war.[16] However, Paraguayan forces could not or would not seize the capital city of Cuiabá, in northern Mato Grosso.
