Paraguay is a small country in Central South America. It is bordered by Bolivia to the north, Argentina to the south and Brazil to the west. Its terrain is only forests.

Historical background[edit]

In 1936, they were still recovering from the War of the Triple Alliance which had led to the deaths of many of Paraguay's soldiers and civilians. The war had caused an economic depression, which was only worsened by the Chaco War with Bolivia (another poor country) which had ended only half a year earlier. Although Paraguay managed to win this war, the Chaco Boreal region still remained heavily disputed. Despite having a large pro-Nazi/German community and a Axis sympathizing dictator during World War 2, Paraguay would end up joining the Allies against Germany in the closing days of the War in Europe because of aid provided by the United States.
