Quem tem medo da Guerra do Paraguai? Brasil é imoral em não saldar dívida histórica com Paraguai
A Rádio Brasil Atual deu sequência, nesta segunda-feira, 25, à Série Especial Quem tem medo da Guerra do Paraguai?. Em entrevista a Marilu Cabañas e Oswaldo Luiz Colibri Vitta, o escritor Eric Nepomuceno contou como foi escrever O Livro da Guerra Grande, em parceria com o paraguaio Augusto Roa Bastos, o argentino Alejandro Maciel e o uruguaio Omar Prego Gadea. Para Nepomuceno, o Brasil é imoral ao não concordar com a proposta uruguaia de saldar a dívida histórica e moral com o Paraguai.

SUMMARY
=======
The military history of Brazil comprises centuries of armed actions in the territory encompassing modern Brazil, and the role of the Brazilian Armed Forces in conflicts and peacekeeping worldwide. For several hundreds of years, the area was the site of intertribal wars of indigenous peoples. Beginning in the 16th century, the arrival of Portuguese explorers led to conflicts with the aboriginal peoples; a notable example being the revolt of the Tamoio Confederation. Sporadic revolts of African slaves also marked the colonial period, with a notable rebellion led by Zumbi dos Palmares. Conflicts were encountered with other European nations as well – two notable examples being the France Antarctique affair, and a conflict with the Netherlands in the early 17th century over control of much of the Northeast. Although Portugal retained its possessions during conflicts with other nations, it lost control of the colony after the Brazilian war of Independence, which led to the establishment of the Empire of Brazil. Brazil's history after independence is marked by early territorial wars against its neighboring countries which have greatly affected the formation of current political boundaries. For example, the Cisplatine War, fought over the present day territory of Uruguay established that nation's independence. Brazil was also affected in its infancy by minor – and ultimately, unsuccessful – revolts in the Northern provinces. An armed conflict with Paraguay led to an establishment of Brazil's current border with that nation after a decisive victory. Internal conflicts between the executive government and the power of wealthy landowners finally led to the abolishment of the Brazilian Empire, and the rise of the current republican government. Modern activity includes participation in both World Wars along with internal struggles due to military rule, and participation in right wing military operations, such as Operation Condor. Recent developments include participation in peacekeeping efforts after the 2004 Haiti rebellion.
