The Triple Alliance nations were Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Based on the alliance the war is called the War of the Triple Alliance or the Paraguayan War. In time, the three allied nations defeated Paraguay in 1870.The causes of the war are not exact. Some historians believe it was the result of post Spanish rule in South America, others cite border disagreements.
