War of the Triple Alliance website
19th Century
Ulysses Narciso has created a page with information on South America’s War of the Triple Alliance. He writes in his introduction:
The Triple Alliance War is one of the most controversial and less known event of Latin America History. The war was a conflict that pitted the Argentine Confederation, the Republic of Uruguay and The Brazilian Empire against the Republic of Paraguay. The war raged for 5 years (1864-1870) and was marked by some of the fiercest military campaigns of Latin America History. Large armies were involved during the conflict and, in Paraguay’s case, the entire population was engaged in supporting the war efforts.
This was a very bitter war that few know about. Some estimates are that Paraguay lost as much as 20% of its population—including 50% of its male population.
I did see a 15mm manufacturer a few years ago who made figures for this war, but for the life of me, I can’t remember the name of the company now.
