The Paraguayan War and the Platine Balance of Power

Schaefer, Robert H. 01 January 1975 (has links)
Utilizing both primary and secondary literature, this study attempts to illustrate that the origins of one of Latin America’s most significant wars, the Paraguayan War (1864-70), are understandable only when viewed within the context of the historical development of the Rio de la Plata as a region. Adopting the framework provided by Robert N. Burr in his pioneering work on the South American continental balance of power system. “By Reason or Force: Chile and the Balancing of Power in South America, 1830-1905” (Berkely, 1965), this thesis examines one particular outgrowth of the historical process in the Rio de Plata: The development of a regional balance of power in the area. It also illustrates that such systems of international power politics are not necessarily promotive of stability and equanimity in the relations between nations: that balance of power systems are not static but constantly changing, and that such changes are conducive to friction, intrigue, and war.

Após permanecer por cerca de dezessete anos no sul da América (1536 ¿ 1553), o soldado bávaro retornou à Europa, onde se converteu à fé protestante e escreveu sua Viaje al Río de la Plata. A partir de seu relato, pretendemos observar de que forma elementos como o canibalismo, também descritos por outros autores (como Jean de Léry e Hans Staden), influenciaram as narrativas de viajantes, em especial, em questões como a humanidade dos indígenas e as dúvidas referentes às possibilidades de escravização e conversão. Pretendemos ainda examinar de que forma essas descrições foram utilizadas como base para os mútuos ataques entre católicos e protestantes no período / Abstract: This research aims to analyze the New World inhabitants¿ discourses at the Ulrico Schmidl¿s chronicle. After approximately seventeen years at South America (1536 ¿ 1553), the Bavarian soldier has returned to Europe, where he has converted himself to the protestant faith and has written his Viaje al Río de la Plata. Based on his account we intend to observe how elements like cannibalism, also described by others authors (like Jean de Léry and Hans Staden), have influenced the travelers narratives, especially about humanity of Indigenous and doubts about the possibilities of his enslaver and conversion. We still intend to study how these descriptions were utilized in mutual attacks between Catholics and Protestants / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História
