This campaign, which continued through 1864, insinuated that Buenos Aires had designs on both Paraguay and Uruguay, who should make a warlike alliance, detach Argentine provinces and seize Martín García Island: Box 1930, pp. 155–162 Describing his sources, Box wrote that the Uruguayan diplomat Juan José de Herrera, who was involved in the secret diplomatic manoeuvres, first as an envoy to Asunción and then as Uruguay's foreign minister, kept "a veritable mine of invaluable documents" relating to these intrigues; they were published in the twentieth century by his son.

Another example is: "It is not difficult to see in the confused history of Argentina after Caseros; in the complicated interplay of Buenos Aires and the Confederation; of Unitarian and Federal; of lofty patriotism and base intrigue, the ultimate motivation of a class struggle between the urban bourgeoisie with the unawakened proletariat at their heels and the agrarian magnates and semi-feudal caudillos of the provinces with their wild dependents, the gauchos, an agrarian class as yet unconscious of its special interests and ready to follow its lords on any adventure".

There was, by then, no "Guaraní population" that might support a Francia government, said Ynsfrán. Most Guaraní speakers were by now criollos; indigenous peoples of all sorts including Guaraníes barely amounted to a tenth part of the population. There was no "aristocracy" to speak of; and as for "bourgeoisie", this was an urban phenomenon that did not exist in Paraguay, a rural community.Ynsfrán 1936, pp. 12–13 That the Jesuits had any influence on Paraguay as a nation was a myth believed in by foreigners. The Jesuits were confined to a small corner of the country and, on being expelled, left no lasting influence.Ynsfrán 1936, p. 10 Ynsfrán, Pablo M. (1936).
