1864 CE to 1875 CE

Allied troops enter Asunción in January 1869, but Solano López holds out in the northern jungles for another fourteen months until he finally dies in battle.

The year 1870 marks the lowest point in Paraguayan history.

Hundreds and thousands of Paraguayans have died.

Destitute and practically destroyed, Paraguay has to endure a lengthy occupation by foreign troops and cede large patches of territory to Brazil and Argentina.
