The Paraguayan Army is on the run…

August 1869 CE

The Paraguayan Army is on the run and Asunción is under allied occupation in August 1869, when the Triple Alliance installs a provisional government headed by Paraguayan Cirilo Antonio Rivarola.

López has vowed to keep fighting to the end.

Caxias had suggested that the war was militarily over, but Dom Pedro II, the Brazilian Emperor, refuses to stop the campaign until López surrenders.

Caxias resigns due to illness.

The son-in-law of the emperor Dom Pedro II, Luís Filipe Gastão de Orléans, Count d'Eu, nominated to direct the final phase of the military operations in Paraguay, seeks not only a total rout of Paraguay, but also the strengthening of the Brazilian Empire.
