A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the devastating War of the Triple Alliance (1864-1870), the deadliest conflict in South American history. They focus on the figure of Solano López, the Paraguayan dictator whose ambitions triggered a war that killed over half of Paraguay's population. Lucas explains how Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay allied to crush Paraguay, the brutal battles at Tuyutí and Curupaity, and the war's legacy: it bankrupted the Brazilian Empire, hastened the abolition of slavery, and paved the way for the republic. They also discuss the role of the Viscount of Mauá in financing the war effort, and how the war devastated Paraguay for generations. Listeners learn about the Marques of Caxias, Brazil's leading general, and the controversial final years of Dom Pedro II's reign, which the war helped undermine.
