The allied victory added to the Paraguayan troubles that began with earlier failed offensives and the loss of its fleet in the Battle of Riachuelo. Another attack on the allied camp was made in November 1867. ==Strategic situation== In this phase of the war the Allies' strategic objective was to take the Fortress of Humaitá, the gateway to Paraguay. They intended to launch an amphibious operation, which required their land forces to take the fortress from the rear. After crossing the Paraná River from Argentina and landing in Paraguay, they had a long march across country studded with lagoons and ''carrizal'' (reed beds growing in marsh). The Fortress was defended by the extensive earthworks of its ''Polígono'' or Quadrilateral design. It was in this context that the Battle of Tuyutí occurred. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battle of Tuyutí」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
