Paraguay, land of immigrants

Paraguay embarked in the 19th.century into a very unusual industrial development project and poceeded to contract over 200 British engineers who came into the country to built shipyards, iron works, and a steam train line.

All that interesting undertaken came to naught because by 1864 tiny Paraguay had declared war on the Triple Alliance formed by huge Brazil, giant Argentina, and Uruguay.

It took them five years to invade Paraguay and destroy the infrastructure and almost annihilated the population. By 1870 Paraguay had to be reborn.

Afterwards, Paraguay became open to the immigration of people and capital. None other than Elizabeth Nietzsche sister to German philosopher Frederick Nietzsche came to Paraguay en 1887 to found an “ethnically pure” German community. The project failed and she returned to Germany.

A group of British socialists disenchanted with Australia, came to Paraguay en 1893 to create the perfect socialist community, Nueva Australia, but soon broke up into two groups. Their descendants are prosperous merchants today. After World War I, many more German farmers came, attracted by quality agricultural land and today reside in one of the most productive regions of the country on the border of Argentina.

German Mennonites who had settled in Russia at the request of Empress Catherine the Great were expelled from the Soviet Union in the 1920, and came to Canada and the United States. By they were looking for a country that would exempt them from military service. Paraguay was it and today the Mennonites constitute 0.5 % of the population but are responsible for 30% of the agricultural output.

acquired Paraguayan citizenship under his own name because en 1959, it was not important enough to be wanted by the Police. Other German came after war world II but not to many. Most of the former Nazi settled in Brazil, Argentina, including the famous Dr. Joseph Mengele, who has

There were other streams of migration from Japan, especially after World War II including some from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Japanese came to Paraguay in the 1930s and today they constituted one of the most productive communities in the country. In the 1960s, people from then severely underdeveloped Korea and Taiwan came to Paraguay, searching for a better future.

They generated and explosion in the studies of medicine and the very first pharmacies were founded by members of the Scavone family, all of them still active in the business. Others were farmers and cattle ranchers, the larger industry in Paraguay for over 50 years was Manufactura Pilar, a textile mill, belonging to Alberzoni family. Immigration from Italy into Paraguay deserved a special chapter. They were not only numerous in quantity but highly skill and magnificent workers.

The Italian presence in Paraguay and in the rest of MERCOSUR is such that the Republica Italiana can be considered as the fifth full Member of MERCOSUR.

Thank you for your attention
