The Naval Battle of Riachuelo took place on June 11, 1865, on the banks of the Riachuelo, a tributary of the Paraná River in Argentina. The battle was triggered by Paraguay's interest in controlling the rivers in the Prata basin, a strategic route for transporting people and goods to the Atlantic, and was considered decisive in the victory of the Triple Alliance (Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina), in the largest armed conflict ever to take place in South America.
