PARAGUAY"S OPTIONS IN PARANA TRIANGLE DISCUSSED f
Buenoa Airea LA OPINION in Spanish 19 Feb 79 pp 6-7
- (Article by EaCe1a Arau~o]
(Text~ From the geopolittcal viewpoint Paraguay has three posaibilities
which mark ita relation with the countriea making up the La P1aCa River
_ Beain: ,
The firat, of hisCoric origin, can be expressed in Paraguay's close relation- ~
ship as a member of. the Hispano-American colonies of Che La Plata River.
The real dismemberinent of the viceroyalty began at Che Cime of ita creation;
however, it was sube~ct to a delayed measure adopted in 1777.
- This was when Spain thought it neceaeary to oppoae the Portuguese Empire, ~
since, ~hortly before~ following the lines of Portuguese i,nterest, ie had
- put an end to the atrateg~.c Jesuit aettlementa, which had colonized !;hat
area from 1609 to 1767.
The administration of the great Paraguayan province, separated fro,m Che be-
ginning from that of Buenos Aires, was dependent on the viceroyalty of Peru
only to end up (in 1717) belonging to the viceroyalty of the La Plata River.
For that reason~ Paraguay fel~ itself intimatsly linked to the temporal power ~
fo the Jeauits in America. Paraguay, *.he heart of native America, felt it- -
self rooted in the establiahment of tuissions.
Julia Velilla Laconich de Arellaga (Paraguayan geopolitical expert) says:
~
"When the conquistadors, crosaing over the Andes, arrived at Potosi, the
,advance of the La Plata River Spanish became a retrocession. Although
thwarted and disilluaioned, they seized the city of Asuncion to use as a
base and began the great task of colonizing and aettling these areas dotting
the immenae perimeter of the Provincia Gigante de las Indias with cities.

"As this province lack~d merals, ~pain did not ~onsider ie very importar~t.
The only passible and direct cnnununicatian route between Pgraguay and A1ta

omicnl for the export of minerals From the districti~ of Charcxs and Potoai--

wae gbandoned. Br~?ad geograph3cal areas were thua converted into no man's
~ land as though invi~ing the Portuguese advance. Hernandarias~ who longed to
unite theae rhree geographical areae which now constitute URUPABOL [Uruguay-
Parnguay-Bollvia]~ stresged Che negative aspect of divid3ng the province
(Buenos Aireg and Paraguay), if the Chree settlementa he suggested were not
carried out ro completior?: a city in Monte Ovidio, now Montevideo; another -
on the Uruguay River; and a third between Asuncion and Charcas.
~ "Vera Province remained abandone.d, ita principal port of that time ~w being
kno~:n as Paranagua (IIrazil), and Chia region, known fundamentally, stratebi- r,=:
cally aiid economically as Che Prnvincia Gigante del Paraguay, was Che first
p~ee2 of the mother country to be abeorbed by the Brazilian Empire.
"The policy of Buenos Airea, in violaticn of Argentine interesta and those
of other provinces of the viceroyalCy, has no explanaCion and even less ~us-
tific~tion." -
The protagoniats of Buenos Aires, like all others, committed tactical and =
_ profound errors, but it is easy, from the vantage point of the 20th century,
to understand the difficulties and desperation of the Men of May. Expeditions
- aimed at unifying the viceroyalty (like that of Gen Manuel Belgrano to Para-
guay) did not obtain the expected reault. A skilled economiat, Belgrano
could not fail to see Paraguay's importance in the overall La Plata picture.
The short duration of the viceroyalCy had not succeeded in creating stronger
' ties among its conatituents. The more meaningful and stronger port interests
had gained momentum much more quickly.
It was the Spanish court's shortsightedness which caused Paraguay to lose -
with the missions a territory which included an outlet to the Atlantic Ocean
in what is now southern Brazil. ,
