  1. Renan Santos
    Would Brazil be a much better country if Paraguay had won the war against us?
  2. Renan Santos
    That's right, folks, this is a very special thesis of some specialist historians.
  3. Renan Santos
    Their idea is very simple.
  4. Renan Santos
    If Solano Lopes's Paraguay had defeated Brazil at that time and taken the region of Mato Grosso do Sul, including the south of Brazil, it would have industrialized the region and it would be much, much richer than it is today.
  5. Renan Santos
    And yes, folks, the Paraguayan War began with an invasion.
  6. Renan Santos
    Paraguay is Brazilian territory.
  7. Renan Santos
    Solano Lopes disrespected our border and began taking the entire region of Ponta Porã, if it weren't for...
  8. Renan Santos
    the herculean effort of this man.
  9. Renan Santos
    But after all... Who is this man?
  10. Renan Santos
    This is Lieutenant Antônio João Ribeiro.
  11. Renan Santos
    And no history teacher told you about him.
  12. Renan Santos
    It was this guy who prevented Brazil from becoming so developed in Paraguay's hands.
  13. Renan Santos
    This happened because the lieutenant, leading an incredible army of 14 men—always that number—resisted an assault by 3,500 Paraguayans who invaded Brazilian territory and thought it would be easy.
  14. Renan Santos
    Antônio and his soldiers resisted bravely.
  15. Renan Santos
    There were fierce exchanges of gunfire for hours.
  16. Renan Santos
    They managed to hold back the Paraguayan army's advance long enough to send an emissary.
  17. Renan Santos
    I'll tell you what the emissary's message was.
  18. Renan Santos
    I know I will die, but my blood and that of my comrades will serve as a solemn protest against the invasion on the soil of my homeland.
  19. Renan Santos
    Yes, friends, one day there was a man walking in this country.
  20. Renan Santos
    Antônio and his colleagues resisted, but perished.
  21. Renan Santos
    They managed to contain the Paraguayans' advance, and the emissaries succeeded in sending the message to the troops, and Brazil was able to mobilize in time to prevent an even more intense invasion by Solano Lopes.
  22. Renan Santos
    Everyone knows what happened next.
  23. Renan Santos
    Brazil and Argentina and Uruguay unite and Paraguay is defeated in what was
  24. Renan Santos
    to this day the deadliest war faced by Brazil.
  25. Renan Santos
    Antônio is today depicted with the bullet in his chest at the moment he died, and is also the patron of the lieutenants of the Brazilian Army.
  26. Renan Santos
    For

    About: include in the school curriculum content about Brazilian women who made history

    Unfortunately, however, you don't read an incredible story like his in history books, because teachers are more interested in lying about the conflict, saying that Paraguay was a victim of a ruse orchestrated by England because Paraguay would compete with British industrialization.
