Footnotes
[edit]- ^ It is considered that Paraguayan independence starts in the Congress of July 24, 1810, when the Paraguayan "intendencia" refused to pledge allegiance to the Junta de Buenos Aires.
- ^ Paraguay held its own conflict against Juan Manuel de Rosas receiving very substantial support from the Empire of Brazil. President Carlos Antonio López declared war against Rosas and in the first phase of the "Paraguayan front" (1845–1846), Paraguay invaded the Province of Corrientes hoping to cause a rebellion alongside the Argentine dissidents led by Gen. José María Paz, which fared poorly. In the second phase however (1847–1850), the Paraguayans under Gen. Francisco Solano López occupied the Province of Misiones which was under Rosas' rule, resisting in their positions while suffering heavy losses against the counterattacks of the forces of Buenos Aires. See: Urdapilleta, Emilio (10 April 2021): "Guerra del Paraguay contra Rosas (1945-1852)". El Parlante Digital. Asunción, Paraguay. Retrieved: 16 April 2021. Link: https://elparlante.com.py/historia-del-paraguay/guerra-de-paraguay-contra-rosas-1845-1852/ The friendship and alliance between the Republic of Paraguay and the Empire of Brazil remained strong until 1852, when Rosas was finally overthrown. In fact, the Brazilian diplomacy played a key role for the recognition of the Independence of Paraguay. On the other hand, Paraguay gave its full support to Brazil, fighting its own campaign against Buenos Aires. However, in the final phase of the conflict (1851–1852), President Carlos López refused to join forces with the Allied army, keeping a defensive role (as established with Brazil). This was because López was very suspicious of Justo José de Urquiza, former General of Rosas' army who became the leader of the Argentine insurrection.
