Paraguay

Paraguay had strong ties to the Nazi party and was the first country outside Germany to establish its own Nazi party, in 1929.  Hohenau, meaning ‘Mother of the Colonies’, was one of the first towns in Paraguay to be settled by German immigrants.

In 1541, natives destroyed Buenos Aires, and the Spaniards fled to Asunción. Thus, the city became the centre of a large Spanish colonial province comprising part of Brazil, present-day Paraguay and northeastern Argentina: the Giant Province of the Indies.
