Liberal authors reject this position, held by revisionist authors. The work of Brazilian Francisco Doratioto, much celebrated in academia, comes to rejuvenate the old liberal idea that the fault was Marshal Lopez to conclude that theBritish Empire had nothing to do with the war as the Egyptian cotton satisfied fully their needs. This paper presents this "Egyptian alibi", revealing not only the British struggle to get a good, cheap and close cotton, but also the problem of the capital market, cotton production, competition for labor and difficulties political and military to try to prove that the challenge of Doratioto no empirical basis. Thus, the imperialist war thesis should not be ruled by ideological prejudices but taken as a possible line of analysis and research within the framework of historiographical renewal on the subject. Uno de los aspectos vinculados al debate sobre la Guerra de la Triple Alianza/Guerra Guasú es el relativo al algodón y su relación con el imperialismo británico como posible causa del conflicto. Esta posición, sostenida por autores revisionistas, es rechazada por autores liberales. La obra del brasileño Francisco Doratioto, muy celebrada en círculos universitarios, viene a remozar la vieja idea liberal de que la culpa la tuvo el mariscal López para concluir que el imperio británico nada tuvo que ver con la guerra ya que el algodón egipcio satisfacía plenamente sus necesidades. El presente trabajo avanza sobre esta “coartada egipcia”, revelando no solo las dificultades británicas para hacerse con un algodón bueno, barato y cercano, sino además el problema del mercado de capitales, la producción algodonera, la competencia de mano de obra y las dificultades políticas y militares para intentar demostrar que la impugnación de Doratioto carece de base empírica. De este modo, la tesis imperialista para la guerra no debería ser descartada por prejuicios ideológicos sino tomada como una posible línea de análisis e investigación en el marco de la renovación historiográfica sobre la temática.
