The war of the triple alliance

In the start of the war paraguay had a population of 500,000 people, by the end of the war only 200 thousand survived of whom 32 thousand were men. The paraguayn war was the most chatastrophic war in latin american history

I am always amazed how well you simulate hand movement without drawing any. Even if it looks like objects are moving by themselves it really feels like country balls actually have hands, they're just invisible!

[@Icariaball]

Yes this is the point, countryballs are not supposed to be drawn by hands according to the rules. I have seen a lot of KZbinrs who draw hands and its just ruins the simplicity of Polandball, and also the more limited you are with your design the more creative you can become

​@@fish5671it's a popular revisionist thing

[@CinnamonVROffical]

The funny thing about this, is I been watching alot of triple war vids and paraguay related stuff, and look who came back to help.

[@lesaltolatapia]

Actually there was a civil war ongoing in Uruguay (1863-64) where for the first time Brazil and Argentina became allies with the objective of throwing down a new Uruguaian goverment that didn't allow the brasilians to just drive cows and have slaves in uruguaian country, so they supported an uruguaian mercenary called Venancio Flores that was also supported by the recent unificated Argentina because he had helped the argentinian president Mitre to win the argentinian civil war. So brasilians and argentinians had the same objective. When Solano López saw this he lost his mind and smoke peace, because in recent past (1856) the brasilian navy tried to pass the Paraguay river and Solano fortified it by creating Humaitá fortress. So he was prepared for war and when saw that brasilians joined argentinians in Uruguay he beleaved that he would be invaded later, and in a huge misscalculation he atracted the alliance and tragedy to his country just like your fantastic video shows. Thanks so much for making a video about this war.
