23°s 58°w paraguay (; spanish pronunciation: [paɾaˈɣwaj] (listen)), officially the republic of paraguay (spanish: república del paraguay; guarani: tavakuairetã paraguái), is a landlocked country in south america.it is bordered by argentina to the south and southwest, brazil to the east and northeast, and bolivia to the northwest.it has a population of 7 million, nearly 3 million of whom live in the capital and largest city of asunción, and its surrounding metro.although one of only two landlocked countries in south america (bolivia is the other), paraguay has ports on the paraguay and paraná rivers that give exit to the atlantic ocean, through the paraná-paraguay waterway.spanish conquistadores arrived in 1524, and in 1537 established the city of asunción, the first capital of the governorate of the río de la plata.during the 17th century, paraguay was the center of jesuit missions, where the native guaraní people were converted to christianity and introduced to european culture.after the expulsion of the jesuits from spanish territories in 1767, paraguay increasingly became a peripheral colony, with few urban centers and settlers.following independence from spain in the early 19th century, paraguay was ruled by a series of authoritarian governments characterized by nationalist, isolationist and protectionist policies.this period ended with the disastrous paraguayan war (1864–70), during which the country lost half its prewar population and around 25–33% of its territory to the triple alliance of argentina, brazil and uruguay.in the 20th century, paraguay faced another major international conflict—the chaco war (1932–35) against bolivia—in which it prevailed.afterwards, the country came under a succession of military dictators, culminating in the 35-year regime of alfredo stroessner, which lasted until his overthrow in 1989 by an internal military coup.this marked the beginning of paraguay's democratic era, which continues to this day.paraguay is a developing country, ranking 105th in the human development index.it is a founding member of mercosur, the united nations, the organization of american states, the non-aligned movement and the lima group.additionally, the city of luque, in metropolitan asuncion, is the seat of the south american football confederation.the majority of paraguay's seven million people are mestizo, and guarani culture remains widely influential; more than 90% of the population speak various dialects of the guarani language alongside spanish.paraguay's gdp per capita ppp is the seventh in south america.in a 2017 positive experience index based on global polling data, paraguay ranked as the 'world's happiest place'.western paraguay, the gran chaco, was inhabited by nomads of whom the guaycuru peoples were the most prominent.the paraguay river was roughly the dividing line between the agricultural guarani people to the east and the nomadic and semi-nomadic people to the west in the gran chaco.the guarcuru nomads were known for their warrior traditions and were not fully pacified until the late 19th century.these indigenous tribes belonged to five distinct language families, which were the bases of their major divisions.differing language speaking groups were generally competitive over resources and territories.they were further divided into tribes by speaking languages in branches of these families.today 17 separate ethnolinguistic groups remain.the spanish explorer juan de salazar de espinosa founded the settlement of asunción on 15 august 1537.the city eventually became the center of a spanish colonial province of paraguay.an attempt to create an autonomous christian indian nation was undertaken by jesuit missions and settlements in this part of south america in the eighteenth century.they developed jesuit reductions to bring guarani populations together at spanish missions and protect them from virtual slavery by spanish settlers and portuguese slave raiders, the bandeirantes, in addition to seeking their conversion to christianity. | paraguay | ethnicgroup | mestizo <tsp> asunción | ispartof | gran asunción <tsp> agustín barboza | birthplace | asunción <tsp> paraguay | leadername | juan afara <tsp> agustín barboza | deathplace | paraguay | it has a population of 7 million, nearly 3 million of whom live in the capital and largest city of asunción, and its surrounding metro.although one of only two landlocked countries in south america (bolivia is the other), paraguay has ports on the paraguay and paraná rivers that give exit to the atlantic ocean, through the paraná-paraguay waterway.spanish conquistadores arrived in 1524, and in 1537 established the city of asunción, the first capital of the governorate of the río de la plata.the majority of paraguay's seven million people are mestizo, and guarani culture remains widely influential;

23°s 58°w paraguay (; spanish pronunciation: [paɾaˈɣwaj] (listen)), officially the republic of paraguay (spanish: república del paraguay; guarani: tavakuairetã paraguái), is a landlocked country in south america.it is bordered by argentina to the south and southwest, brazil to the east and northeast, and bolivia to the northwest.it has a population of 7 million, nearly 3 million of whom live in the capital and largest city of asunción, and its surrounding metro.although one of only two landlocked countries in south america (bolivia is the other), paraguay has ports on the paraguay and paraná rivers that give exit to the atlantic ocean, through the paraná-paraguay waterway.spanish conquistadores arrived in 1524, and in 1537 established the city of asunción, the first capital of the governorate of the río de la plata.during the 17th century, paraguay was the center of jesuit missions, where the native guaraní people were converted to christianity and introduced to european culture.after the expulsion of the jesuits from spanish territories in 1767, paraguay increasingly became a peripheral colony, with few urban centers and settlers.following independence from spain in the early 19th century, paraguay was ruled by a series of authoritarian governments characterized by nationalist, isolationist and protectionist policies.this period ended with the disastrous paraguayan war (1864–70), during which the country lost half its prewar population and around 25–33% of its territory to the triple alliance of argentina, brazil and uruguay.in the 20th century, paraguay faced another major international conflict—the chaco war (1932–35) against bolivia—in which it prevailed.afterwards, the country came under a succession of military dictators, culminating in the 35-year regime of alfredo stroessner, which lasted until his overthrow in 1989 by an internal military coup.this marked the beginning of paraguay's democratic era, which continues to this day.paraguay is a developing country, ranking 105th in the human development index.it is a founding member of mercosur, the united nations, the organization of american states, the non-aligned movement and the lima group.additionally, the city of luque, in metropolitan asuncion, is the seat of the south american football confederation.the majority of paraguay's seven million people are mestizo, and guarani culture remains widely influential; more than 90% of the population speak various dialects of the guarani language alongside spanish.paraguay's gdp per capita ppp is the seventh in south america.in a 2017 positive experience index based on global polling data, paraguay ranked as the 'world's happiest place'.western paraguay, the gran chaco, was inhabited by nomads of whom the guaycuru peoples were the most prominent.the paraguay river was roughly the dividing line between the agricultural guarani people to the east and the nomadic and semi-nomadic people to the west in the gran chaco.the guarcuru nomads were known for their warrior traditions and were not fully pacified until the late 19th century.these indigenous tribes belonged to five distinct language families, which were the bases of their major divisions.differing language speaking groups were generally competitive over resources and territories.they were further divided into tribes by speaking languages in branches of these families.today 17 separate ethnolinguistic groups remain.the spanish explorer juan de salazar de espinosa founded the settlement of asunción on 15 august 1537.the city eventually became the center of a spanish colonial province of paraguay.an attempt to create an autonomous christian indian nation was undertaken by jesuit missions and settlements in this part of south america in the eighteenth century.they developed jesuit reductions to bring guarani populations together at spanish missions and protect them from virtual slavery by spanish settlers and portuguese slave raiders, the bandeirantes, in addition to seeking their conversion to christianity. | cassocked | reasons | fading | no related information |
