El Supremo and the War in Uruguay

In 1869, Paraguay goes to war with Brazil. The next day he declares war on Argentina too. And Uruguay winds up declaring war on him as well. After thousands and thousands are dead, it becomes clear that the population of young adult males is not going to be enough to sustain Paraguay's war effort. So Lopez starts drafting old men and eventually even women. He flees into the hills to fight a guerrilla war, which he is just as bad at as the rest of this. His last of his forces are surrounded in 1870 and he dies abandoning them trying to wait across a river.
