  1. Consider:

    For six years from 1864 to 1870, Paraguay remained isolated and under siege as it battled a vastly larger and better-equipped alliance.

    Even as far as wars go, it was a strange affair in many regards. There were rumors of intrigue involving a foreign mistress, cavalries armed with bamboo lances faced off against battalions of rifleman, one of the United States’ least remembered presidents became a national hero in another country, and the primarily belligerent suffered one of the highest casualty rates of any modern war.

    Perhaps the most bizarre aspect of the war is the fact that Paraguayan president Francisco Solano Lopez was the instigator, and that Argentina had no interest in becoming involved until Solano Lopez dragged them into it on the side of his enemies.
