the war:the war was a series of tragedies. Besides the thousands of military and civilian deaths directly attributed to battles, the war left tens of thousands of orphans, widows and cripples. Artillery shelling and small-arms gunfire caused extensive destruction to buildings in a number of cities, in addition to damage to port facilities and roads. The naval blockade and movement of thousands of troops across the land severely affected the economy, disrupting internal and external trade, and the massive conscription of peasants caused a steep decline in agricultural and mineral production. The war also destroyed or upset political careers and caused chaos in the national government — there were seven presidents and 10 different ministers of foreign relations during the two years of war. The political instability during and immediately after the war led to a new despotic regime and eventually to another civil war
