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. |

Some have looked at the war in a world context. For them, since Paraguay was a non-British aligned country, Britain had a particular interest in the war's outcome. |

Others, notwithstanding, see the war as a result of the region's historical animosity. Another version, point out the political leaderships' lack of vision to avoid the conflict. |
