![]() Brazil then promptly invaded Paraguay and seized half of that country, but today, in 1842, Brazil's military is so drained that it can barely sustain a three-regiment army, which is still somehow the largest military south of Mexico. Countless South Americans died in this conflict and it might have repercussions for decades. Though Bolivia lost the former war, losing its Amazonian holdings to Brazil and its coastline to Chile, it defeated Argentina, pushing its southern border further down. Between them they lasted almost the entire last few years and left all of South America a depopulated hellscape. The Bolivian wars, I'm sure you remember, pitted Bolivia and Peru against Brazil and Chile, and later Bolivia and Peru vs Argentina. The last six years have been quite busy, have they not? While our army was reforming its numbers in 1836, our diplomats watched as a number of global hotspots broke into all-out war. ![]() Part 2: Chapter II: The Reunited Kingdom of the Netherlands: 1836-1842 Chapter II: The Reunited Kingdom of the Netherlands: 1836-1842
