>>215397716>The dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner (1954–1989) actively encouraged Brazilian immigration, especially to the sparsely populated eastern frontier.>The goal was to modernize agriculture, expand the population in those areas, and increase economic production, particularly of export crops like soybeans.>The government made land easily available and affordable to foreign settlers and offered favorable credit and tax policies.>In the 1960s and 70s, many smallholder farmers from southern Brazilian states (like Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul) were displaced.>This displacement was caused by the mechanization of agriculture, consolidation of landholdings, and a lack of available land for small-scale farming in Brazil.>With limited options in Brazil, the cheap and plentiful land just across the border in Paraguay became a very attractive opportunity.>The border is extensive and porous, allowing for relatively easy movement.>The new settlements were geographically close to the Brazilians' original home states, and the climate was suitable for the same types of farming.>The construction of the Itaipu Dam on the border, a massive joint project, also intensified economic integration and attracted more people to the region.
