There has been increasing scholarly attention paid to the period dealing with Paraguay between the War of the Triple Alliance (1865–70) and the Chaco War (1932–5). Harris Gaylord Warren, Paraguay and the Triple Alliance: The Postwar Decade, 1869–1878 (Austin, Tex., 1978) is a serious study of the early part of this period. The period from 1878 to the 1904 revolution has been analysed in Harris G. Warren and Katherine E. Warren, Rebirth of the Paraguayan Republic: The First Colorado Era, 1818–1904 (Pittsburgh, Pa., 1985). The 1904 revolution is the subject of essays by Harris G. Warren, ‘The Paraguayan revolution of 1904’, TA, 36 (1980); and Juan Carlos Herken Krauer, ‘La revolución de 1904 en el Paraguay: El trasfondo socio-económico y la perspectiva británica’, Revista Paraguay a de Sociología, 22/62 (1985). On the relationship between business and politics, see Diego Abente, ‘Foreign capital, economic elites and the state in Paraguay during the Liberal Republic, 1870–1936–, JLAS, 21/1 (1989), 61–88; and Juan Carlos Herken Krauer, Ferrocarriles, conspiraciones y negocios, 1910–1914 (Asunción, 1984), ‘Políticos, empresarios y financistas en el Paraguay, 1907–1920’, JGSWGL, 22 (1985), 423–55, and ‘Ferrocarril, política y economía en el Paraguay: El acuerdo de 1907 entre el Paraguay Central Railway Company y el gobierno paraguayo’, l–AA, 10/3 (1984), 291–316. Other studies of several aspects of this hitherto neglected period include Juan C. Herken Krauer, El Paraguay rural entre 1869 y 1913 (Asunción, 1984); Diego Abente, ‘The liberal republic and the failure of democracy’, TA, 45/4 (1989), 525–46; Ricardo Caballero Aquino, La segunda repúblka paraguaya (Asunción, 1984); and Harris G. Warren, ‘Journalism in Asunción under the allies and the Colorados, 1869–1904’, TA, 50, 14 (1983), 483–98.
