Paraguay

class="mw-headline" id="Etymologie">Etymologie[edit]

"In 1524, after having navigated from the Río de la Plata to the north to the Paraná River and then to the Paraguay River, conquistadors of Spain reached the town. They founded the town of Asunción,[9] in 1537, which was the first capitol of the governorate of Paraguay and the Río de la Plata.

The Paraguayan Jesuit mission was the epicentre where the Guaraní tribe, under the leadership of the Society of Jesus, were trained in Jesuit reduction, especially in the seventeenth centuries, and where they were brought into Christianity and Western civilization. However, after the Jesuits were expelled from Spain in 1767, Paraguay gradually became a marginal settlement with few towns and population.

Paraguay, after gaining sovereignty from Spain at the beginning of the nineteenth centuries, was governed by a number of autocratic regimes that generally pursued policy of nationalism, isolationism and protectionism. Paraguay ended this time with the devastating Paraguayan War, in which Paraguay at least 50% of its pre-war populations and about 25 - 33% of its territories fell to the Triple Alliance of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.

Paraguay was facing another great global war in the twentieth and twentieth centuries - the Chaco War - against Bolivia, from which the Paraguayans came out triumphant. After that, the nation went into a era of dictatorship and ended with the 35-year old Alfredo Stroessner regimes, which continued until he was overthrown by an in-house putsch in 1989.

That was the beginning of the "democratic era" of Paraguay. Its name comes from the name of the eponymous stream. Paraguay has no agreement on the origin or importance of Paraguay, although many are similar and all are in the Guarani of Paraguay. Most widely used is that it comes from Paraguay (combination of para'sea' and the suffixes -gua'native to, originating from') and y (water, river), which can mean either "water that comes from the sea" or "the one of the peoples from the sea".

Brother Antonio Ruiz de Montoya (1585-1652) in his 1639 work Tesoro de la Lengua garaní (Thesaurus of the Guarani Language) of 1639 said that it was a connection between Paraguay (feather crown) and y, which meant "river of crowns" or "the flow where people lived and were decorated with different feathers". The Spaniard military official and scholar Félix de Azara (1746-1821) proposed two derivations:

Payaguás (Pajagua y, "river of Payaguás"), which refer to the native people living on the banks of the Payaguás or a large chapel by the name of Paraguáio or Paraguájo. Even though the Guarani originated in Paraguay, the Guarani say Paraguái and is spoken the same way as in Spanish, with the non-rounded vowel[i] on the next front instead of[?].

Paraguay is used only for the rivers and the capitol Asunción. Guaraní Indians have lived in the east of Paraguay for at least a thousand years before the Spanish arrived. In the west of Paraguay, the Gran Chaco, lived the nomadic people, of which the Guaycuru were the most important.

Paraguay River was the line of division between the rural population of the Guanani to the left and the nominadic and semi-nomadic population to the right. In the end, the town became the centre of a Spain that was a Paraguayan colony. Beginning in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the denominations of Guaycuru and other Nomads strongly fought against the settlements and Christianity in Paraguay.

He interrupted the relationship between Paraguay and the remainder of South America. Paraguay was governed by various soldiers under a new squad after Francia's demise in 1840, until Carlos Antonioópez ( supposedly Rodríguez de Francia's nephew) came to office in 1841. Lopez modernised Paraguay and opened it for trade.

In 1842 he formally proclaimed Paraguay's independance and concluded a non-aggression treaty with Argentina. Exports of jerba maté and precious timber preserves the commercial relationship between Paraguay and the outside industry. Paraguay's administration was highly protective, never took credits from abroad and imposed high customs duties on imports of overseas wares.

In Paraguay there was slave labor, albeit not in large numbers, until 1844, when it was lawfully eliminated in the new constitution. They both wanted to convey an overseas picture of Paraguay as "democratic and republican," but in fact the dominant power had almost full power over all aspects of government in the nation, as well as churches and universities.

Carlos Antonio López modernised and extended the Paraguayan army and industrial base by military means and considerably reinforced the Paraguayan defence strategy through the development of the Humaitá fortress. Riverships were constructed in the yards of Asunción. Strongholds were constructed, especially along the Apa and Gran Chaco rivers. López's administration was relatively good for Paraguay, according to George Thompson, C.E., Lieutenant Colonel of Engineers of the Paraguayan Army before and during the war: "Probably no other land in the empire was as safe for Paraguay's lives and possessions as Antonio Lopez's in his rule.

As Paraguay was losing about 25-33% of its land to Argentina and Brazil, it was compelled to repay an immense amount of guilt and selling large amounts of property to re-establish its domestic state. Paraguayans at least 50% of the time dying during the crisis took long years for the nation to heal.

William D. Rubinstein writes about the catastrophe the Paraguayans experienced at the end of the war: When Asunción was plundered in 1869, the imperial Brazilian army gathered the National Archives of Paraguay and carried them to Rio de Janeiro. This has made it hard to explore and learn about contemporary and early national and colonial period of Paraguay.

in which Bolivia was to lose most of its controversial territories to Paraguay. Paraguay had thirty-one governors between 1904 and 1954, most of whom were forcibly expelled from power. The Paraguayan civil war of 1922 was the result of clashes between the parliamentary groups of the governing liberals. Eventually, the unsolved Bolivian frontier dispute over the Chaco area broke out during the Chaco war in the early 1960s.

Paraguay beat Bolivia after heavy casualties and gained control of most of the controversial Chaco area. From 1940 to 1948 the land was governed by General Higinio Morínigo. The discontent with his reign led to the 1947 Spanish Civil War. The Stroessner and Colorado parties governed the state from 1954 to 1989.

Part of Paraguay took an active part in Operation Condor. In April 1987, the Stroessner regimes gave in and allowed Laino to go back to Asunción. In June 1992, the Constitutional Treaty created a system of democracy and drastically enhanced the defence of basic and basic Human Rights. The Colorado party's nominee, Juan Carlos Wasmosy, was voted Paraguay's first civil presidential in almost 40 years in May 1993, and in the eyes of internationally recognized monitors, free and equitable voting was possible.

Supported by the United States, the Organization of American States and other regional organizations, the para-guayan nation refused an April 1996 attempted to overthrow Mr Wasmosy by then Army Chief Lino Oviedo. In the 1998 elections, Oviedo was named a presidential nominee in Colorado, but when in April the Supreme Court confirmed his sentence on the 1996 attempted putsch, he was not permitted to walk and was held in prison.

The Paraguayan Supreme Court ruled in December 1998 that these cases were non-constitutional. It was in this strained environment that the assassination on 23 March 1999 of Luis María Argaña, Vice-President and long-time Oviedo competitor, prompted the Chamber of Deputies to indict Cubas the following morning. On the same date Senate Speaker Luis González Macchi, a Cuban adversary, was peaceful in his oath of office as Speaker.

Nicanor Duarte Frutos was appointed Chairman in 2003. Your nominee was Education Minister Blanca Ovelar, who was the first female to be named to a large political faction in paraguayan historical life. Sixty years after Kolorado domination, the electorate voted for Fernando Lugo, a former Roman Catholic bishop and no pro politicians in civilian administration, and a member of the Authentic Radical Liberal Party, Paraguay's biggest political group.

He won a historical Paraguayan election, defeated the governing party's nominee, and ended 61 years of conservation. Retiring President Nicanor Duarte Frutos welcomed the occasion as the first occasion in the nation's past that a regime has constitutionally and peacefully conferred authority on the opposing factions.

The President of Paraguay was Horacio Cartes from August 2013 to August 15, 2018. Mario Abdo Benítez has been the present President of Paraguay since 15 August 2018. The Paraguay River divides Paraguay into two well-diversified geographical areas. This is the east area ( Región orientental ) and the west area, formally named West Paraguay ( Región Occidental ) and also known as the Chaco, which is part of the Gran Chaco.

Land is located between 19° and 28°S latitude and 54° and 63°W longitude. Most of the land is covered with grass and forest in the east. Paraguay, like most countries in the area, has only damp and arid seasons. Wind plays an important roll in affecting the Paraguayan weather: between October and March a hot wind blows from the Amazon basin in the north, while between May and August cool wind comes from the Andes.

Within a relatively brief period of the year, this also causes considerable fluctuations in ambient air quality; between April and September, air quality can fall below zero. Precipitation throughout the entire land is varied drastically, with significant precipitation in the east and semi-arid precipitation in the extreme westward. In the Far East, the forests receive an annual mean of 170 centimetres of rains, while the Chaco area in the Far East does not exceed 50 centimetres per year.

It is a representational democracy with a multi-party system and a division of forces in three areas. Only the President, who is Prime Minister, exercises exclusive authority. Paraguay' armed forces include the armed forces of Paraguay, the armed forces of the armed forces of Paraguay, the armed forces of the armed forces of Paraguay (including maritime flying and armed forces) and the armed forces of Paraguay.

It also has the third most important free trade area in the world: Paraguay's economic growth was rapid between 2003 and 2013 as increasing global raw material demands coupled with high raw material costs and favourable climatic conditions supported the country's commodity-based exports growth. Recent figures (2009)[58] show that 35% of the people of Paraguay are impoverished, 19% of whom are living in extremely low income.

In addition, 71% of the latter reside in the countryside. Paraguay's populace is unequally dispersed across the countryside, with the overwhelming bulk of inhabitants residing in the east near the main town, Asunción, which represents 10% of the country's total populace. Gran Chaco, which comprises the departments of Alto Paraguay, Boquerón and Presidente Hayes and covers about 60% of the total area, is home to less than 2% of the total area.

Approximately 56% of Paraguayans are living in metropolitan areas, which makes Paraguay one of the least urbanised countries in South America. Paraguay's musical style, consisting of humming polkas, bouncing gallopas and sluggish guanias, is performed on the local harmonica. Paraguay's gastronomic legacy is also strongly shaped by this blend of cultures.

One of the most beloved dishes is the soup paraaguaya, similar to a thick cornbread. During the 1950' and 1960', a new breed of writers and writers from Paraguay such as José Ricardo Mazó, Roque Vallejos and the Nobel Prize candidate Augusto Roa Bastos flourished.
