Abstract

 

Piribebuy, third provisional capital of Paraguay, was surrounded and attacked by aliancistas troops on August 10-12, 1869, during the last campaign of the Cordilleras. Traditional Paraguayan and Brazilian historiographies diverge not only on the attack development, which resulted in a massacre among the village defenders, true defenders of the village, but also on the events which followed it. The analysis of that historical fact, from the primary documentation and Paraguayans and Brazilian statements, enables to better approach those facts as well as the meanings of the national-patriotic narratives about them.
