Paraguay's historic migratory experience is one of paradox. Since the 1860s, colonizers opened the region's doors in an unrestricted way to immigration – but despite these efforts – the country became a nation of emigration. At the close of the Triple Alliance War (1864–1870) during which Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay fought against Paraguay, immigration was announced as a strategic policy in order to repopulate the country, demographically reduced to 30 percent of the prewar population by the military conflict. Immigration was a necessity to reactivate the country's economy, which had been completely destroyed by the war
