Chapter Eleven: Andean Axis Powers on the Retreat
Slowly but steadily the Andean Axis Powers were pushed out, not only of Brazil, mainly by the Brazilians, but also the Guyana's by the Americans, British, Dutch and French which would establish the United Guyana Republic in the former colonies after the war and enforce border changes to Venezuela, Columbia, Peru and Bolivia, when the nation states of Ecuador, Columbia, Peru and others were reinstated. In Bolivia the Allies and local Guerrillas managed to overcome the regime, while in Chile, the Prussian inspired Chilean Armed Forces aided an overall coup to ensure not only they would themselves remain in power and influence, actually switching at the End of the War to make sure they would come out not only as a secure and victorious nation state joining the American Alliance, but actually betray and backstab the Argentinians to once and for all settle the dispute between them over Patagonia, after the Americans had suggested they would aid them in that endeavor, when they would open up to American Air Force Air Bases bombing Argentina from the West and also send some of their own Chilean Forces east to occupy some of the claimed Patagonian lands the Argentinians did not guard with many forces, as most of their armed forces were concentrated towards the American Alliance main frontlines to the North. Once American Alliance Forces had crossed the Uruguay River and the Rio de La Plata, Uruguay and Paraguay were efficiently reestablished once more and put under local governments made up by former rebel and guerrilla fighters, as well as newly elected party members of those groups that had resisted the Nationalist and Fascist groups throughout Andean Axis Reign. After the Battles of Parana, Santa Fe, Resario and La Plata, Senor Adolfo Hitler and most of his political and military government were cur off in the bombed out ruins of Buenos Aires, were some of them would be arrested, but Senor Hitler took his own live in a bunker underneath the former presidential palace. The Chileans who concentrated most of their Forces in the South pushing deep into Patagonia, therefore not partaking in the Battle of Buenos Aires alongside other American Allies Forces.
With the war returning into Argentinian territory, being fought on Argentinian soil and mostly taking Argentinian civil and military lives for once, overall things changed. The Andean Axis officially broke apart with the defeats, or stopping to continuing to fight by Venezuela, Columbia, Peru and Bolivia, as well as the betrayal of the Chileans, as the Argentinian Propaganda called it. For many former members of the Andean Axis it was easier to solely put the blame on the Argentinians and pro-Argentinian governments of theirs, while many members of those government, not trialed and killed themselves would also start blaming the Argentinians and their government to safe their very own hides as much as possible. Many Argentinians meanwhile began blaming the Germans who had taken over much of their Government and Military, claiming it had been them, like Senor Adolfo Hitler, not the Argentinean Leadership or the Argentinian people who had been responsible for the South American Wars, as this theater of the Second World War would be called. Later scholars and historians, philosophers and others would debate endlessly after the Second World War and much, much later how true such claims have overall been, how many the Argentinians truly knew of wars, deportations and killings and how much they actively supported it overall. Problematic was that various accounts from before, during and after the South American Wars would vary widely on these accounts, partially depending on who wrote them and why, both inside and outside of Argentina, the Andean Axis and the American Alliance alike. In an attempt to save themselves from blame and responsibility, many Argentinians themselves blamed their former regime as well and started to blame their own former civil and military government, industrialists cooperating with it and using slave labor of conquered civilians and prisoners of war for their war machinery. It was a means of redirecting personal responsibility and blame from themselves towards their overall leadership, even if many of them had been aiding and supporting the regime, either more direct as soldiers, or more indirect by working and profiting from it in one way, or another.
