About this episode
The dictator of Paraguay in the 1860’s was a man named Francisco Solano López, who decided to go to war with Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. It was disastrous for him and the people of Paraguay and still the bloodiest war ever fought in South American history - also known as the War of the Triple Alliance.
