“López, Francisco Solano”的意思、由来-百科全书

López, Francisco Solano

dictator of Paraguay

born July 24, 1827, Asunción, Paraguay

died March 1, 1870, Concepción province

dictator of Paraguay during the Paraguayan War (Triple Alliance, War of the) (also known as the War of the Triple Alliance), in which Paraguay was practically destroyed by Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay.

López, the eldest son of the dictator Carlos Antonio López (López, Carlos Antonio), seized power upon his father's death (September 10, 1862) and quickly established his own supremacy with the help of the army. Showing little understanding of his country's need to remain neutral in squabbles between the two South American giants, Brazil and Argentina, early in 1863 he allowed himself to be drawn into boundary disputes with both countries and to become entangled in a civil war raging in Uruguay in which Brazil and Argentina were involved. He evidently hoped to play the role of arbitrator in the dispute and thereby take centre stage in Latin American politics. As a result of complicated diplomatic intrigues, however, López found himself at war with Brazil in December 1864. By demanding the right to place troops in the Argentine province of Corrientes, he violated Argentina's desire to remain neutral and provoked the alliance of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay against Paraguay on May 1, 1865.

Although López had successfully invaded the Brazilian province of Mato Grosso in late 1864, his invasion of Uruguay in 1865 was a disaster. The allies defeated him at Tuyutí in May 1866, captured the fortress of Humaitá in July 1867, and forced López to withdraw into northern Paraguay, where he was killed.
