Description
English: Photography of the port of Humaitá fortress after the allied captured it in July 1868. Notice the waving flag of the Empire of Brazil. Albumen print.
Deutsch: Hafen von Humaitá (Guaraní Humaita), die kleine Hafenstadt am Rio Paraguay, etwa 24 km nördlich vom Zusammenfluss mit dem Río Paraná. Hier fand 1868 eine fast dreijährigen Schlacht der Tripel-Allianz-Krieges gegen Präsident Francisco Solano López Carrillo (1827-1870) statt. Die Belagerung der Stadt und ihrer Festung führte zu einigen der blutigsten Schlachten Lateinamerikas und wurde seinerzeit mit der Belagerung von Sewastopol verglichen. Im Hintergrund sieht man ein siegreiches, brasilianisches Kriegsschiffes um 1868 nebst aufgezogener Flagge des Kaiserreichs Brasilien. Die Reste der zerstörten Kirche von Humaitá (Paraguay) wurde später unter dem Diktator Alfredo Stroessner, der 1954–1989 das Land beherrschte, zum Denkmal der Defensa de la Patria (Verteidigung der Heimat) von Paraguay. Auch wurde in Rio de Janairo ein Stadtteil nach diesem Siegesort Humaitá benannt.
