They are ignorant and choose to speak without knowing the truth...They can try denying the truth and what is obvious...but they can't...Ethnically, culturally, and socially, Paraguay has one of the most homogeneous populations in South America. About 95% of the people are mestizo (mixed Spanish and Guaraní Native American descent). Little trace is left of the original Guaraní culture except the language, which is spoken by 90% of the population.

As a paraguayan myself, I thank you for getting this out there. I think 95% or so of this is actually correct. For people reading this and interested to know, Paraguay is a beautiful country filled with mostly loving, nice and friendly people, but has the highest rate of curruption in America for a country that's not ruled by dictatorship. That makes this a country really full of injustice, social inequality and class struggles. I personally am proud of our history and ashamed of our present.

Hi, dyed-in-the-wool Paraguayan from Asunción here. Thanks for your video. Some random trivia: After Guarani and Spanish, the third most spoken language here is German. In Asunción there is a high degree of street with names of Russian people. That is because a lot of White Russian officers fought (gallantly and bravely, I might add) for Paraguay and became war heroes. We have perhaps the world´s best cattle beef. We are a subtropical country but our cuisine has the calories for perhaps working in Norway or Finland during the winter. Yes, they are caloric bombs... Come visit us!

Leave it to an American to call noble action weird. Wish more of the world would think like Paraguay.

Interesting fact: during the war in Paraguay, the Colombian government decreed that if Paraguay disappeared as a nation, every Paraguayan citizen would automatically become a Colombian citizen. The decree reads as follows: "Si por efecto de la guerra, el Paraguay desapareciera como Nación, ningún paraguayo será paria en América; con solo pisar tierra colombiana, en caso de producirse, gozará en forma automática de los privilegios, facultades prerrogativas y derechos colombianos, es decir que de perder la nacionalidad paraguaya serán automáticamente colombianos". Translation: "If, as a result of the war, Paraguay disappeared as a Nation, no Paraguayan will be pariah in America, just by stepping on Colombian soil, if it occurs, they will automatically enjoy the privileges and rights of Colombians, that is, if they lose Paraguayan nationality they will automatically be Colombian ".

As you said in the video, Paraguay extended to parts of nowadays Argentina, Brazil and actually all of Uruguay. These lands were extending all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. On old maps you can even see them call it the “Mer de Paraguay”. As Paraguay lost the “war of the triple alliance”, I’m sure that lots of the information on what Paraguay truly was before is hidden or lost. All we can do now is pick up the pieces and speculate what the past really looked like. Thank you for your help with that.

Good video, but you choose the poorest images of Paraguay. Asunción is a beautiful city with a good skyline . The chaco has beautiful and unique landscapes . Encarnacion, misiones, etc.

I've been to almost all of the Spanish-speaking countries now (even lived in Equatorial Guinea for a few years) and I have to say that Paraguayan Spanish is my favorite. I love the accent and how it sounds when spoken. What I love most about Paraguay is that it refuses to change for anyone and retains its unique culture.

That culture is also Spanish whether they want to accept it or deny it...and here is why? Ethnically, culturally, and socially, Paraguay has one of the most homogeneous populations in South America. About 95% of the people are mestizo (mixed Spanish and Guaraní Native American descent). Little trace is left of the original Guaraní culture except the language, which is spoken by 90% of the population.They are probably denying their Spanish side because of the black legend...But they are very much of Spanish descend...as much as of Guarani ....

As Dutchman I worked in the 80-ties for one month in Paraguay. That was in the last years of Stroessner and in the month that Somoza has been gunned down in Ascension. After the murder coming back from work on the airport, we did run into a road block. We did not speak Spanish, but only English and German. The soldiers seemed very nervous, but luckily we were saved by a German speaking officer. I liked the people and the food, that our female housekeeper (60 yrs) prepared, was delicious. The Munich beer was good and there were good wines too.

They can speak it just fine, though "proper" Spanish tends to mostly be used in more formal settings or when talking to non-Paraguayans. The reputation for speaking it poorly comes from other Latin Americans hearing them talk when speaking among themselves (more casual Spanish tends to have a lot of Guarani mixed in and vice versa)

Sad to see you did not mention that Paraguay was the only country without analphabetism in South America or that it was the first one to have trains, telegraphs or shipyards in the southern hemisphere of the continent. Main reason why Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay grouped up to stop its rapid development. It would be also relevant to end the video saying its the highest growing economy, with the most stable national coin amongst its surrounding countries. Paraguay has indeed suffered a lot throughout its history, nevertheless its people have always held its culture and customs, and will never stop thriving.

She was exiled and died in Paris in 1886, but one hundred years later her body was exhumed and brought back to Paraguay where the dictator General Alfredo Stroessner proclaimed her a national heroine. Her remains are now located in the national cemetery "Cementerio de la Recoleta"

Hello my friend. Native paraguayan here. Glad to see someone reporting about our magical land on youtube. Pretty accurate video, I'm quite surprised at how correct you are . There is usually a lot of disinformation around, especially about the great war (remember: history is written by the victors.) A few things I want to add, that are important to know: -Brazil attacked Uruguay, which was the military ally of Paraguay. So Lopez had no choice but to march to the aid of his allied nation, which ended up betraying him. (Its called the war of the triple alliance, as in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay). -The two large nations signed a malicious secret treaty in 1865, (and had already agreed to the conditions a year before) secretly allying against Paraguay. This treaty was pushed by Edward Thornton, envoy of her majesty, Queen Victoria of England. -England sent representatives to Arg and Brazil to push them to war with Paraguay, and offered them funding. Paraguay was an independent state, with a growing economy (we had the first locomotive train in south america) we didn't allow free sailing through our rivers and we didn't allow cheap exploitation of our natural resources. This did not sit well with the british empire. They paid to have this great nation utterly destroyed. We are struggling to rebuild to this day. Many were taken as slaves to the brazilian fazendas. Women were raped, children were stolen and the entire nation was practically destroyed. My family line survived only because my ancestors ran from the capital and hid in the countryside. Or else we would've been slaves as well. Later, my family line mixed with italian immigrants that fled the wars of Europe. Great video and thanks for the coverage.

Paraguay military claim is "Vencer o morir" "Triumph or die" During the war against the triple Alliance, the battle of "Acosta Ñu" were fought by children dressed as adults against Brazilian soldiers because even though the commander said to them that they didn't have to fight, the little kids were willing to risk their lives for our country. In the end, they lost and were burned alongside their mothers in the field. That's why in Paraguay August 16th is "the national children's day" honoring all those who died. Also, we're known as the COUNTRY OF PEACE because despite winning the "Chaco war" we decided to give up some territory to mantain a good relationship with Bolivia. And finally, we had the only one American independence without bloodshed. We obtained our freedom in two days without having to fight so for those reasons we're a country that advocates for peace

I thought Asunción was disorganized, a corrupt city which had offered no hint of its real culture. Sadly, I was happiest leaving Asunción behind, but it is a great place to start, EVERYTHING GETS BETTER!! The moment you leave the capital city, embarking on a journey through Paraguay's Many towns and villages, you find that the people are HOMELY (I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say), and really the most respectful people I have met in my life. I was amazed, truly amazed!! how different I felt about Paraguay and its people, just a few short hours later. I will honestly say that Paraguay and the Paraguayan people are different in a truly fantastic way. I REALLY WANT and HOPE!! one day SOON, they find DIRECTION FROM LEADERSHIP, who can help its people to build, structure its capital city to be a true reflection of his people, that is a far cry from what it currently offers.

Paraguay did not attack Bolivia. The Bolivians were the first to attack the small Paraguayan forts in the northern Chaco. Bolivia invaded since they needed to get an outlet to the ocean. Over 50 years before the Chaco war (Paraguay vs. Bolivia) Bolivia lost there coast on the Pacific ocean to Chile. So they were looking for an outlet via the South Atlantic via the Paraguay river. The Chaco region was claimed by both nations but Paraguay had a better claim and connection to the Chaco then the Bolivians who mainly lived in the Andes. Many losses in that war on both sides. The hot and dry region of the Chaco did not help. Then it would flood during the rainy season. Paraguay had help from Argentina via supplies. Paraguayan also had there river warships to transport troops via the Paraguay river near to the fighting. After the war ended at least Paraguay allowed Bolivia a small corridor to the Paraguay river. Chile did not allow Bolivia any direct access to the Pacific ocean.

1:00 It's funny that the flag says "República del Paraguay" which means "Republic of Paraguay" in SPANISH.

@@JimskiBeatz some of us still do, but I would say only 2-5% now (at the most). It was a highly hispanicized culture in most of the North and Middle group of islands (Luzon and Visayas), although some tribes kept to the old ways particularly those in the North North highlands and some aborigine and/or pagan tribes and Moros in the South. In a place in the North and South a ethnic minority speak a pidgin Creole Archaic Spanish called "Chavacano" which sounds like you are talking in Ancient Spanish akin to Don Quixote. 🇪🇸 spent a longer time lording over most of the Philippines than any Latin American country. 300-333 years depending on when you want to measure "Spanish rule" as they were not able to colonize some tribes and groups. More like bribed really, as opposed to outright conquest. Then we simply fought amongst ourselves some choosing to be Mercs for the Spaniards (as a people we have a long history of Piracy and Mercenary work, throughout Southeast Asia, kind of like an ancient Blackwater or XE -one only need to ask the ancient Thais "Ayutayah" or Ancient Burmese). Most of us were largely immune to smallpox during the Spanish conquest because as you know smallpox came from Asia. So we were somewhat inoculated to most of their diseases. Hence we kept some of our culture and language. Not to mention some tribes already had metallurgy and working canons and arquebuses even before the Spaniards came. So they were not conquered. Spanish radio shows playing old style Spanish songs were still on the air until about the late 1960s, when Marcos the dictator went on a massive Nationalistic campaign and got rid of chief instruction of advanced Spanish in primary schooling. Which was good for us! :) . But my family remembers my great grandfather who was born in the late 1880s. He was still singing along to those Spanish radio shows. Bolero music is big for a certain really old demographic of Filipinos. Almost all dead now of course. Hope that helps* to clear some stuff up. Despues de Colon. The Spaniards never really left as a lot of the rich Tycoons are Spaniard, Filipino admixtures like the Ayalas and Zobels. :/ .

​​​@@JimskiBeatz The ratio of Filipinos who know the term "desde" is about 1 in a million, or generously about 1 in every 500,000. Fluent speakers of Spanish, well of course even less. Even during Spanish rule, only a maximum of 10% could actually speak Spanish, and that's quite generous coz that counts to 1 million people, which is way too high an estimate lol. Mostly it was just nobles who learned Spanish because they were legally required to in order to communicate with the Spanish government and be granted privileged status, as well as other wealthy folks like merchants and some middle class later on when they could afford education. However, Spanish was very rarely a native language. It's very much like Indonesians speaking Dutch.

Fun fact: los paraguayos amamos ver videos así

Damn, I've been born way too late.

A video on Paraguyan Australians would be fascinating.

Wonderful commentary and retelling. I lived in Paraguay for 29 years, and I congratulate you on your accuracy. It isn't 100% but when you deviate it usually seems to be in the interest of humor, which would endear you to Paraguayans. They really get a joke. The 'hardest thing you got right was that Stroessner promoted the use of Guarani...some try top say the opposite but I lived under Stroessner, and he was made fun of because he was clearly uncomfortable in Spanish...he was a country boy. The exception onaccuracy is 1) on the Jesuit 'experiment' which was a lot more complicated and eventful, and 2) the idea of getting to Peru from Paraguay. One expedition tried that, very early on, a bunch of Spanish and Guarani adventurers, but not one of them was ever heard of again. Back in Spain maybe people talked about that, but half a day walking in the Chaco would tell anyone this was not something to walk through even if the alternative was to sail halfway around the world in a leaky wooden boat.
