Paraguay in its independence process, 1811

Abstract

The independence processes in Spanish America are preceded by a whole series of historical events in the Iberian Peninsula at the time of Napoleonic supremacy in Europe and its impact on the seat and crown of the Hispanic Monarchy. Of all the countries that would emerge throughout the decades of 1810 and 1820, Paraguay is the pioneer in its independent development, but in a process that first made it independent of the neighboring regions and its influence such as that exerted from Buenos Aires, not so much from Madrid, so distant and distant from those who will become independent due to the progressive isolation and the Mediterranean condition of Paraguay in the heart of South America.
