The Story of the Guarani, and Paraguay

The exiting Story of Paraguay, with the exiting bits in bold at the bottom. More proof why equality is right, and dictatorship like monarchy wrong. It mentions the fascinating story of a guy who was seen to be a part wizard part Robespierre figure who ruled in the 19th Century. And more fascinating stuff.

300000Argentinian natives, were around at that time, of Columbus,
They saw the Spanish annex the N's Diaguitas tribes,
Who were of handicraft towns, farms, others, brown, dusty dirt, & small rocks plains,
Were pushed to slavery, They, the colonisers kill many hunters,
2ft high aquine rodents, in the NW fifths, were moving their little strong teeth,
Long-neck deer on lake cliff faces, overlook a yellow, & such landscape,
Araucanians flood the S, pampas,
& Patagonia Hunter-Gatherers, as they flee colonisers,
A explorer founds Buenos Aires in 1536,
Others push up it's Plata river, & just start Ascunsion, another town there, aswell too,
Other colonies, settlers, made N-Argentina,
A sheep grazing, cattle, horse land, of Indian slaves or workers, It focuses on the university city Cordoba, Silver route Tucuman, financial B Aires,
And create lots of these farms in the green hard undulations plains, of areas,
That can be of good amounts of water,
And good low scrub,
That have all these livestock, & colonisers, & such,

They usurp all E of the Paraguay river tributaries, of it's lush vegetation,
And trade to Guarani farmers, as it was the realm by the considerable river,
They make deals V Ws swamps,
Higher alluvial hot scrub plain's tribes like Chaco, Ayoreo,
By 1620 Peru's, but it became the River Plate viceroyalty, by 1776,
Few Iberian women were there, so racial mixing was massive,
Specially by 1609, among the Catholic enserfed Guarani,

As 1630, man-eater slavers killed 30000 there,
Brazil 2million dead, into the early 18thCs, as of these attacks,
Some of these near Rio, & some the Alpine region of the S,
Jesuits saved 30000Indians to their militia's colonies,
Enserfed decacidal plagues of then,
Kill the equivalent of 35% of the average 17thC population,
In total,
Decacidal is my invented term, that is a derivative, of the word democide,
A democide is a term that means a death the state can easily be blamed for,
I also put many poverty deaths, in that stat, but not all poverty ones, just some,
For certain reasons,

A decacide, my word, is that of a plague, or disease,
Which kills 10% or over of a sizable population,
Democide is a derivative of genocide, I suppose,
So I can change the definition for my purpose,

But despite all this, it then, still holds 55% of Paraguayans, by the 18thC,
So has 125/225,000, most of the rest are immigrants, & other natives, & such,
Enslaved Indian neighbours, saw 90% declines,
Which shows that organised caringness, & protection is needed, for eachother,

The rest of the population, of Paraguay, mostly Europeans in some senses,
Revolt in the 1740s, against the Jesuits,
In those days Jesuits feared by some Protestants as scary, authoritarian spies, & such,
Secret workers, & blamed for crisis, in their areas,

But also local's did not like what they were doing,
Actually they were just doing their beliefs, & were not that bad,
I suppose,
5000dead revolts stops Portugal receiving the land in a deal,
As Jesuits opposed giving the Iberian neighbour these,

But Jesuits were expelled across the empire in 1769,
As of internal political opposition to them, in elite aristos, & more,
Causing 100-999dead, of over 6000 evicted from Spain's empire, maybe more,
France saw only 10s die of being evicted, including old people, evicted in the 1760s,
And Portugal saw 10s die the same decade, & Italy 10s too,
The Pope, only agreeing to ban the Jesuits as the kings wanted him to,

Most natives left, after the ending by the crown of this state,
And set up bases outside, as the colony's ruling system fell,
Some people would have gone round & round making mistakes when leaving,
Going on the same route, accidentally, as they would not have known the roads,
Some Guarani, like Amazon dwellers from here to Peru, hunted Tapirs,

Like they of long nosed, pig like cattle, with long snouts of black, or many colours,
They are 6 feet high, & hoofed, weighing 2-5 people,
With a small amount in Malaysia,
But more hunted here in Brazil, & by animals, through the jungles,

1000Spanish die in a fruitless search for more rich golden empires,
In deep rocky gorges forests' fish's rivers, 1520s,
Tennessee,
And also in those rivers big boulders, that you can hide behind, to jump at fish at,

And in 1516, Uruguay's Charrua Hunter-Gatherer 10000people chiefs area,
Had pheromone smelling, sweet grass,
They remain hunting deer in winters, & seafood summers,
With areas of sweet light green grass, & trees along this East bank of the River Plate,

And also a few woods in other areas, but mostly green plains, too the N, & lots of water,
Kills of a Spanish explorer, puts off colonising,
If it had towns, it would have been easier to enslave,
And later they start to hunt mils of escaped Argentinean wild cattle,
Layered in cowpats by 1680,

Portugal makes a place for exporting contraband Peru's Silver, colony there in 1680,
Spain too at Montevideo fort 1726,
They then go & kill most natives,
And annex the Portuguese land by 1776,
And create new large Cattle ranches,
Spanish guitars, running at swift fingering, easy to hear each notes,

Brazil killed 1000s of Guaranis, in a key 1755 battle,
With many juts massacres, at least in low 10s, & many caused to die by evictions,
And many prisoners dieing & being marked with hot irons,
70000Amazons die of the pox, in missionary towns,

The country had 7-11 famines, in the C, like in the 1790s,
They free native slaves there from the 1770s,
On the Popes, hopes,
They saw pro-Latin immigration,
And also the African slaves, rise in population,

Mostly Mestizo Guarani speakers Paraguay,
Saw 4/10,000die in Portuguese attacks, 1/2 by shootings & massacres,
Yes at least 1000 in massacres almost certainly more,
I would say 2/4,000 is a very reasonable guess,
Maybe 2134 is an acceptable guess,

In 1813, a males franchise elects labelled 'wizard' as of him having French library,
He's very clever isn't he he's very clever, they said,
As they were not really literate but looked upto the way he was a great reader,
Who found thing in books, in a land of high illiteracy,
A fellow, who idolised France,
He idolised I meant to say, the French Revolution, and Robespierre,
Instead of welfare being just for a single governor or monarch,

A bit unfair to tax all for that,
It became just on everybody's benefit, shared among loads,
Just a minimum for them to survive,
Or even make them all happy, with loads of cash, not just some,

In 1820, he was made a dictator,
Taxing Spanish elites for marrying themselves,
Who were keeping alive that spirit of caste,
'I must not marry below me old boy, as I am superior to them',

Very unfair,
He kills low 100s, mostly of the,
And being in the clergy was punishable,

The poor, especially the Guarani prosper,
1000s though are conscripted to farms, & he keeps,
With passing no abolition law the 1000 African slaves,
But they are a minority, who are not that few, & there was no more importing of slaves,
And they had been slaves before, & think how many neighbours to the S had,

So this was an rise greatly on before, then,
Foreigners can't leave, & so trade is stopped, you arrive in a boat for trade,
You are kept there,
This was as it was felt that was all about exploitation,
And about harming the regime,
With it able to export increased food production, despite that,
The 1840s, after this great success story, saw a new coup dynasty,
Who miserably for many became landowner dictator elites,
They attack Guarani, slavery, & the missions,

Ascunsion thriving riverside port as isolation ends,
But it keeps the continent's lowest density of population, which despite this rose,
And invite the German Mennonite societies,
Who stay as a separate group for years farming there,
With help from Paraguayan itinerants, but really doing hard work,
On the old German lifestyle,

But with better technology but I do not know if they really worked harder,
They probably did not, anyway,
Paraguayans had more scarfy looking clothes,
& shawls, etc., etc.,

Tough army led S-America, was the to the freer less serfy US,
Masters ruin native prosperity in servant slave stupidity, evil,
Harsh Paraguay dynasty prides in it's own strength,
As the new rulers which replaced the revolutionary regime, are elitist,
A fellow is a seen as the proven head,
There is a militaristic persona cult feted by now socially divisive caste elite,
Brazil imposes Uruguay's Colorados 1865-70,
So scared Paraguay invades, & goes in, & out of the larger country Argentina,

In revenge, slaughters by the Brazilian elite, and it's monarchy,
Cut Paraguay's population from 0.7/1.5-0.25million,
A fall to 25000adult males, in large shrinks,
The largest genocide of the century, by the evil of royalty,
0.5-1.42million Paraguayans die,

Plus Brazil 100/150,000, Argentina, Uruguay 10000 each,
So lets say a million died in the war,
Brazil occupies to 1876, with in 1869 slaves freed,
The ruling-class regime re-infiltrates into the church, of Paraguay, & state's apparatus,
As they need to rebuild farming,

The elite kept control despite US links,
And it stagnates, poor, & treats servants terribly,
From 1904 liberalise under Libs, beat conservative Colorados 1912, in the 2000die war,

This all proves democracy is right, as he was the choice of democracy, and moved towards equality. What happened later, of hereditary style dictators and disaster, and Brazilian royal invasion of the 19th Century show monarchy to be wrong. As Brazil is a democratic republic today it does not do things like that anymore.
