Paraguay's Independence

Paraguay's Independence

The video explained how Paraguay became independent. As they had a really weird spanish accent, I didn't get many thing. Basically, what I understood was that people from Paraguay wanted to became independent, because they didn't want Jose Bonaparte to be their kin, emperor or whatever they called him. They fought a battle with Spanish people in the woods, this waws the first battle, but I think Spanishs surrender when a spanish soldier killed a child. A child who was playing the drumb during the battle. After that the criolles wanted to fight against their governator. They started a civil war, which they didn't like to calle it as a civil war, because they didn't consider themselves as Spaninards. At the end they came with a big canyon to the cuty hall so the governator could surrender and he did. Obiously, who wouldn't surrender if someone is pointing you with a canyon! I mean even I, would surrender. The paraguayans wanted the independence of the whole colonies so they were happy to help.
