Paraguay 1935 Airmail Stamp - 'El Chaco Boreal'

Paraguay · 1935 · 10p

This airmail stamp features a map of the Chaco Boreal region, a territory disputed between Paraguay and Bolivia. The map prominently displays the area claimed by Paraguay, with rivers and key locations marked. The stamp was part of a series issued to assert national sovereignty over the region.

Issued in 1935, this stamp reflects the intense nationalism during the final year of the Chaco War (1932-1935), a bloody conflict fought over control of the Gran Chaco. Such stamps served as propaganda tools to reinforce territorial claims on an international stage.
