Abstract

The occupation of the Paraguayan territory began with the Spanish failure in reaching Upper Peru through the Prata River and its tributaries in the first half of the XVI century. The independence movement, on the other hand, was related to the success of its inhabitant’s to resist several subjection attempts by the Buenos Aires Junta, beginning in 1810. The lack of commercial importance, its peculiar geographical position, interethnic mixing and the predominance of the Guarani over the Castilian language, also reinforced the isolation of the region and originated a society with different characteristics from those observed in other areas of the Prata. This paper attempts to demonstrate that these elements contributed to Francia’s rise to power, which was enforced according to a republican ethic established by the birth of the modern State in Europe.
