Bolivian-Paraguayan War 1932-1935 in the Context of the Post-Colonial World Order
The author examines the causes and factors that led to the territorial conflict between Bolivia and Paraguay, analyzes the use of armed forces in the Chaco war, and highlights the course of the political settlement of the conflict. The military conflict is considered as a competitive struggle of international corporations for spheres of influence and control over potentially rich oil-bearing areas, with subsequent transformation for its participants into a war for national self-preservation.
