The armament, transportation, food, uniforms and bivouacs of an army can reveal the economic situation of a country? To try to answer this hypothesis we analyzed the Battle of Avaí held on December 11, 1868, during the Paraguayan War (1864-1870). Based on concepts used by Taine, Braudel and Euclides da Cunha, the analysis aims to describe the event in three periods (short, medium and long term). The rivers, trails and paths used to maintain contact between the area of Portuguese and Spanish domain located in Bacia do Rio da Prata were also used for the confrontations between the metropolitan, colonial or national troops that have emerged in the region and to establish trade relations also based in smuggling. These pathways, natural or not, were used as conflict routes causing numerous struggles, battles and wars between Luso-Brazilians and Hispanics. To narrate these struggles, we prefer describe the treaties signed to avoid or ending conflicts. In economics, we highlight two major production units: the plantation in Brazil and the Jesuit Reductions in Paraguay. The Paraguayan War is one of the chapters of the constant conflicts that occurred in the area. Between August and December 1868, shortly after the surrender of Humaitá, the war operations led to a pursuit of the Imperial Army to the Paraguayan Army that retracted in the direction of Asuncion. Paraguayans managed to establish a new defensive line. To overcome the obstacle, the Imperial Army outflanked the position and fell on their rearguard. This operation leads to the Battle of Avaí that we describe briefly. We also work with the supposed lack of combativeness of the Luso-Brazilian troops
