Renan Santos: to this day the deadliest war faced by Brazil.
Renan Santos: Antônio is today depicted with the bullet in his chest at the moment he died, and is also the patron of the lieutenants of the Brazilian Army.
Unfortunately, however, you don't read an incredible story like his in history books, because teachers are more interested in lying about the conflict, saying that Paraguay was a victim of a ruse orchestrated by England because Paraguay would compete with British industrialization.
Renan Santos: That's nonsense.
Renan Santos: They invaded our territory and we, in a very proper way, defeated them.
