Is there a more JUST tier country than Paraguay?

>Leader inherits relatively prosperous country from dad
>Decides to needlessly declare war on all his neighbors
>Gets utterly BTFO

>prosperous

meme marxist historiography from the 60s, my friend. Paraguay was as shithole as any other South American shit hole of the time.

Germany.

It had no slaves and an emerging industry, railways and produced its own gun powder. Prosperous or not was on the right track and the war was a catastrophic setback.

>Paraguay was as shithole as any other South American shit hole of the time.
Kek. Argentina,Chile and Uruguay weren't shitholes,and some parts of Brazil were kind of developed

>Paraguay
>Prosperous
It was a North Korea tier dictatorship ever since it declared independence from Argentina.

There are no heroes or vilains in history (yes even Hitler, Stalin and Mao). History is not a movie, grow up! There is either shit happening to you or you causing shit to happen to others, or shit-happening capabilities reaching a momentary balance and relative peace emerging (and preparing for more shit), until shit happens again.

That's because it was preparing for war the entire time. Paraguay's army had been building up for decades and military spending was 25% of the GDP. You don't invest that much into a military with no intention to use it.

Whoa dude, we just wanted a little fun and to laugh at countries that make mistakes

it's fault of the eternal anglo

>mfw the guy responsible for that war is now the most beloved war hero in this shithole-country.

Are you retarded or something?

>Kek. Argentina,Chile and Uruguay weren't shitholes

Argentina was the apotheosis of a shithole. Literally Somalia. An intermittent civil war, with warlords and their private armies keeping the country eternally unstable.

Uruguay was a farmland. Always at the mercy of its two neighbors. It was not complete disaster, but nothing noteworthy.

There is no economic data of Chile in this period, which already implies something.

>and some parts of Brazil were kind of developed

Feel free to name any. It has achieved the feat of having a worse performance than Argentina - without being in civil war. Lacked infrastructure, industry, mobility, efficiency and skilled workers. It had a toxic atmosphere to the enterprise, a medieval mentality and a mercantilist economy.

>Argentina was literally Somalia

wew lad

Has Paraguay ever recovered from the War of the Triple Alliance or has it been permanently fucked?

It's recovered its population if that's what you mean

It's still the second poorest shithole in South America barring Bolivia

Yes Bolivia by a long shot. It has the rare distinction of having lost its acess to the sea and loosing a war against Paraguay

>bounce back from utter devastation three times (WWs, 30-Years-War)
>End up asserting dominance over mainland Europe during the aftermath of each of said disasters
>now one of the most prosperous nations in the World and the second most favorite migrant destination, even withiut accounting for refugees

Sounds more like a resounding success story

I thought it still hadn't even properly recovered population wise?

>buttblasted argie again
what's next? Because I'd compare OP's shitty thread (implying you're not OP) with the habbenings regarding to the Falklands War:
>Galtieri inherits relatively organized country from Videla
>Decides to needlessly declare war on his sea neighbor
>Gets utterly BTFO

not even him but the only one who seems buttblasted here is you

all he said was wew lad

>An intermittent civil war, with warlords and their private armies keeping the country eternally unstable
Sounds like an anarcho-capitalists' wet dream

...

Well, the Mises Institute loves Somalia.

Wasn't Paraguay always geographically destined to fail unless it somehow gained control of the Rio Parana?

It could have worked on trade alliances with argentinian mesopotamic provinces and Uruguay instead of going on imperial mode.
A shame really, they had a working national state with an ethnically homogeneous population and industry.
