 | | Paraguayan War also called WAR OF THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE, Spanish GUERRA DE LA TRIPLE ALIANZA, Portuguese GUERRA DA TRÍPLICE ALIANÇA (1864/65-70), the bloodiest conflict in Latin-American history, fought between Paraguay and the allied countries of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. |
 | | The war left Paraguay utterly prostrate; its prewar population of approximately 525,000 was reduced to about 221,000 in 1871, of which only about 28,000 were men. |
 | | During the war the Paraguayans suffered not only from the enemy but also from malnutrition, disease, and the domination of López, who tortured and killed countless numbers. |
