La politique du Paraguay
Identité de cette politique avec celle de la France et de la Grande-Bretagne dans le Rio de La Plata
"La politique du Paraguay" by Claude de la Poëpe is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work examines the political stance of Paraguay, particularly during its conflicts with its powerful neighbors such as Brazil and Argentina. It aims to illuminate the reasons behind Paraguay's struggle for independence and sovereignty while drawing parallels to colonial powers' ambitions in South America. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth analysis of the political landscape surrounding Paraguay during the mid-19th century. It outlines the influence of external pressures, notably from Brazil and Argentina, on Paraguay's national sovereignty and discusses the political isolation Paraguay endured under past regimes, particularly during the dictatorial rule of José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia. The text highlights Paraguay's determination to assert its identity and independence, setting up a narrative that will likely explore both the motivations and consequences of its policies and actions in the wider context of its conflicts with regional powers.
