so Nick and I just had a conversation about the Paraguayan War in the mid 1860s in which 90% of male Paraguayans died because their president declared war on the three much more powerful surrounding countries (Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay) JUST BECAUSE HE FELT LIKE IT
yep that happened
UPDATE: apparently the leader declared war so he could prove that he was an expert military tactician. (he wasn't)
