Paraguay campaign : ウィキペディア英語版 | Paraguay campaign
The Paraguay campaign (1810–1811) was the attempt by a Buenos Aires-sponsored militia, commanded by Manuel Belgrano, to win the Intendency of Paraguay for the revolutionary cause. It is also considered for the Paraguayans as their war for independence.〔García Mellid, p. 77〕 The first battles were fought in Campichuelo and Maracana and the Argentines claimed victory in both fields. However, they were completely vanquished in the subsequent battles of Paraguarí and Tacuarí. The campaign ended in a military failure and Paraguay broke its links with the Spanish crown just two months after Belgrano's withdrawal, achieving full independence. ==Actions of "la Primera Junta"==
Three months after the creation of the Primera Junta, Manuel Belgrano was appointed Chief Commander of an army destined to gather support at Corrientes, Santa Fe, Paraguay and the Banda Oriental. Few days later his goal is made more specific: he must aim for Paraguay. The Junta had been informed that the patriotic party was strong, and a small army would suffice to take control.〔Luna, p. 60〕 Trusting such information, Belgrano was destined for Paraguay with two possible goals, get acknowledgment for the Junta in Paraguay or promote a new government that would stay in friendly terms with Buenos Aires. Belgrano headed for the north with nearly two hundred men, expecting to gather more people on his way to the Paraná River. Soldiers from the Blandengues regiments of San Nicolás and Santa Fe joined them en route, and later the Junta sent reinforcements of other two hundred soldiers. The army was welcomed by most of the population found in their way, receiving donations and new recruits in most villages. Finally, the army gathered was composed of nearly 950 men, among infantry and cavalry, divided in four divisions with one piece of artillery each.〔Luna, p. 63〕
