Abstract
The article examines the events of the Guarani War of 1754-1756, which became a logical continuation of the riots on the Eastern Bank of the river Uruguay risen against the terms of the Treaty of Madrid in 1750. Indigenous people fought for the right to remain in their native land, and the Jesuits tried hard to cancel the term of transmigration in a diplomatic way, relying on the legal mechanisms of royal patronage. The war itself was skillfully used for anti-Jesuit propaganda, and the myth of the “Indian Emperor” was used to justify delays in the implementation of the Treaty of Madrid and its victims.
