Campo Vía 1933: How Paraguay Crushed the Bolivian Army | Chaco War

Описание: The Battle of Campo Vía (1933) stands as one of the most decisive engagements of the Chaco War between Paraguay and Bolivia. Fought over nearly fifty days in the harsh environment of the Gran Chaco, this battle marked a turning point in South American military history.

Rather than focusing on territorial conquest, the Paraguayan High Command executed a bold strategy aimed at encircling and destroying an entire enemy force. Under the overall strategic vision of General José Félix Estigarribia and the decisive field leadership of General Raimundo Rolón, Paraguayan forces launched a massive maneuver designed to cut off supply lines, isolate Bolivian divisions, and collapse their will to fight.

This documentary explains how Paraguay overcame logistical limitations, extreme climate conditions, and moments of operational crisis to achieve one of the largest mass surrenders in the war. Through battlefield leadership, psychological warfare, and precise tactical decisions, more than 8,000 Bolivian soldiers and 250 officers surrendered without conditions.

In this video, you will discover:
