The city of Puerto Flor de Lis and Silvio Pettirossi Airport were once named after this man, who fought heroically at Boqueron during the Chaco War. Several members of his administration were excommunicated after police brutally attacked his country's major university, though his reign saw major economic projects like the Yacyreta Dam. After leading a coup d'etat against Federico Chavez in 1954, this figure ousted interim president Tomas Romero before being overthrown himself by Andres Rodriguez thirty-five years later. For 10 points, name this leader of the Colorado Party and, from 1954 to 1989, President of Paraguay.
